If we end anywhere near where we are right now I am thinking that we will have put in a short term bottom. I would expect a rally to the 1860 area before resuming the swan dive. Not being a very nimble guy I'm trying to decide if I want to cover with the hopes of getting back in higher or just ignoring myself and my total inability to judge the market.

You bring up a very good point with the VIX.

I sold naked puts today on some very distant support levels (against the buyers who are seeking some last ditch protection) for some tech companies betting the next leg down won't occur until after option's expiry next week.

That 28-something (28.21?) value of VIX yesterday was the highest since mid-December, so I was thinking the same way: a short bullride.
