Big boys let J4P do the heavy lifting yesterday:

<<<Ameritrade had 62% buy orders for Monday (AMTD) By Deborah Adamson
Online broker Ameritrade on Tuesday reported that 62 percent of its trades on Monday were buy orders. Small investors apparently stepped in to buy stocks on the day of the largest point-drop in the history of the Dow Jones Industrial Average. However, institutional investors interviewed by CBS.MarketWatch.com said they largely stayed out of the market. Last week, a grass roots movement arose among small investors to buy stocks at the reopening of the stock market after the Sept. 11 tragedy.>>>

In fact 62% is very low for Ameritrade

VIX is just catching its breath, IMO -- no panic, no bottom

I sold the last of my poots today, staying pretty short (I always do -g-), mostly semis/semi equip and will shop for some hedges soon.

edit: this is just gut feel from daily tapewatching but the action isn't looking healthy to me at all. obviously I don't trust my gut feel here enough to have held my poots.
