Bigworld, I see the VIX is back down to its low ebb level from which it inevitably has spiked in the past. The spikes have tended to come in 3-6 week intervals. But these have all been mini-spikes compared to 2009 when the VIX zoomed up to 70.

I'm getting the same 2007 type feeling, where you see things beginning to unravel and in a way that can't end well. Rickards has been out of the stock market for some time, but is finally talking about selective shorting.

I'll probably just add to gold positions, but am starting to look at HDGE. But between Fed/PPT intervention to prop up the market and the perennial 'head in the sand' attitude of Wall St and investors, I figure the market might not crash until the bombs are actually falling on N. Korea.
