I've been told that most of the margin-related carnage took place last week as ID's tightened up their clients' accounts because of the volatility before Friday. Also told that many ID's took a lot of the B2B and B2C and small-cap tech off marginability early to mid last week. FWIW I've been told that margin calls for today are a red-herring. The biggest fear today, is 'fear itself'.

Are we being lulled here?

Since there was no reason for the selloff in the first place, other than shorts picking up a long-denied piece of the pie, there is no reason to expect continuation this week.

IMO, we will run up each day into option expiration on Thursday. Too much transient put value out there to keep stocks down this week.

Next week, it's a new ball game!
