JimP, It's great to be back at least heading towards something like normal. I don't have the answer to this question, but only the question: how valuable is the VIX as an indicator today, given these incredible events and conditions? Normally a VIX of 45-46 would be not only a buy signal but a buy with margin signal. Today, I don't know. Will we see a VIX of 55 before it's time to buy? The Dow curbs have been flashing on and off like a turn signal. Any thoughts on industries and segments (airlines, their lenders, advertisers, travel companies) which may soon hit panic oversold conditions? Regards Kb
