Summary

Well, unlike yesterday, there are no Greeks on the rampage, and the market looks set to comfortably close in the 2115/25 zone.

With things as they are.. its not a setup that particularly favours the bears tomorrow.

*I remain holding a small VIX-long position. I suppose things could be worse, I could have been heavy short NFLX.

Unless Yellen says something stupid about interest rates...  I will merely be back at the close.
