Hi Harry, the VIX - Expirations - low volume scenario is interesting.. the max pain would be to run this up into expiration if they can, the public doesn't seem to be involved heavily either way. There's also been positive spins on how the economy and techs have bottomed and turned up. Looks to me like a set up for a move down next week through the end of the month if they can push it up into expiration.. but this market has been shoved around so much its walking like its in a stupor waiting for the next shoe to drop.
