GS and MS both rocketed last ten minutes into the close. I bet a bailout deal is done by the time we go to bed tonite. Another gap open up in the morning. This is getting old.

somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the VIX is measured by options activity.

Let's not forget that you cannot buy puts on the "no short sale" stocks. And you can only sell covered calls.

That could skew the VIX reading a bit, although there are lots of other stocks.
