GB does nice work, but if we take a look at the CBOE put call ratios we see
that the Equity P/C ratio is marginally bullish and the CBOE Total (Index +
Equity) P/C ratio is neutral and the $C/$P OEX ratio is neutral.  There is a
downtrendline at 780 on the OEX which may provide early morning resistance
on Tuesday, but if penetrated decisively would drop the VIX and modify these
put call ratios a bit.  Right now it looks like the ratios are indicating a
lot more room available on the upside.
