Hi Tim,
Yeah, I'm bummed. VIX actually came down today...tick just didn't get low enough, even when the dow was down 400+ pts.

I can't tell if we crash into the elections or after. Certainly my scenario for the pre-election rally isn't really coming to fruition.

I am sticking with good optical plays. I'll buy on dips.

I'll also keep ENTU in my port, I feel vindicated on the fundamental side, if not the actual success of the trade. As a LTB&H, I think that it is a strong hold. My guess is that the shorts used the weakness yesterday and today to cover.

My take, FWIW

It's not capitulation if the mind set it that "what I lost today, I will regain tomorrow(or in an hour as the case may be)."

I always thought capitulation would be not only where everyone sells "just to get out" but also no one wants to get back in.
