US equities are fractionally higher, and the market has already confirmed a micro bull flag.. as especially reflected in stocks like INTC, AAPL, and DIS. Meanwhile... the VIX computer remains twitchy.. with sporadic nano-scale downside flash-prints.
VIX'5min
Summary

Since last Friday, we're seeing sporadic and brief spikes (usually to the downside), but always rebounding.
Someone at the CBOE needs to fix something... or at least try re-booting the server!
