Hi Bonnie, It looks like you and ts have a history. I'd really like this thread to be a place for second chances. Let's give everyone the benefit of the doubt and all repeat the following: "Cults bad, diverse groups of opinion good" Here's a snippet from last night Option Investor newsletter, discussing the put/call ratio and the VIX: Capitulation? Not yet! With that label being applied to every major drop for the last week you can see it was not true. If you think this through then there is more red ink in our future. The S&P Tech index is at a 29 month low and still falling. Every stock that has not warned is being shorted aggressively in hopes that they will warn. The put/call ratio is anemic at only .61 and is not showing any signs of serious worry. Only 36% of investors are currently bearish compared to 31% still bullish. Definitely not a bottom indicator. The VIX however is hovering in the 33-36 range which is normally a buy range. Those of us who remember last April remember numbers well over 40. With many investors conditioned to move out of tech stocks over the summer months we could see even higher VIX numbers soon.
