thats what I am watching as well. The speed of the VIX coming down will tell us if this is a corrective move in the trend or finally a bottom., I would like to see some skeptisism in this rally, for me to believe it.

Thanx JT; I expect it to fall fast from these levels just don't want it to get down below the 30s for too long , a fast dip below and back up wouldn't hurt. The real high Trin we had early Friday was shorts , but after thinking about that latter , that was likely option/future related and it didn't last all day. The ones who knew they were going to have stock put to them ; more than they wanted at the time; sold more puts and shorted & that sets a target where the puts can close the shorts , selling puts and shorting at the same time is a tactic some hedge funds use. Just the same a real high spike in trin sets up short covering in short order. We need more than just a short covering rally & we need very large volume today. If gap ups exceed the gap downs of last week I'll lose faith real fast, but we should be able to tolerate a few gap ups to the point they cancel the down gaps we had. Jim
