Things would have been much clearer to me if we had this discussion on the day the ge/warren deal went down rather than speculating how high the vix would go. As I was posting those XLF D/W/M charts Saturday am and remembering how far GE fell I started getting the picture. I took My daughter "flower girl" to her mothers wedding and as I sat in the car and went for a walk... this stuff really started rolling around my head. Not what... but why wasn't I thinking... Tunnel vision Upsetting I couldn't see this coming without a tradeable bounce. I thought it would bounce first and then get the rug jerked out. Where will my bounce be now? • 700b takes a while to get into the system • Banks are still afraid of lending to each other • Russia's trading was halted again • Global markets taking a dive • Futures looks like.................... ugh! • Creative fed maneuvers looming sure makes it hard to short
