Don't the collars introduced after the 87 crash block any extreme volatility though? So 100 on the vix may be a distant memory, instead we get weeks of vix at 50 until the fear finally wears itself out, maybe.

This year is really going to be critical. Ken Fisher thinks the market this year could either drop 40% or rise 40%(!) Since its a 3rd Prez year he thinks it will go up..I don't know. All I know is: ppl are starting to hire. People are slooowly starting to buy capex gear, while being very conscious of price..If you are a sales guy its still a very very hard job selling tech gear. But the IT wallets are starting to open. SC
