With equity indexes ending the week on a moderately positive note, the VIX remained in cooling mode, settling lower for the ninth consecutive day, -1.9% @ 17.08 (intra low 16.89). Near term outlook is for further equity upside to the sp'2040/60 zone.. and that will likely equate to VIX 15/14s.

*as things are, I have ZERO interest in being long the VIX in the immediate term.
