Re: [RT] For the folks with VIX interest

That the low VIX readings are more critical now than they were earlier i.e.
I think it was unlikely that equities would rally directly from VIX in 20+-
range accompanied by severe breadth divergences in NYSE and a general
pattern of price weakness. I do think we are getting close to a low here
SP02M around 1132 and expect a rally. Still looking for 1250+ within a month
... then likely a major decline.
