Re: [RT] VIX times Total P/C - Fear Index close to 9/11/01

["Robert Arbuckle" <bobskc@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

That is because the sight of a major landmark collapsing and killing 3,000 people was easy to get one's mind around but the threat we have, (at least for the moment), avoided, was beyond the understanding of all but the most sophisticated investors.  I too, felt fear last week but it wasn't fear of losing money, it was fear of losing my country.  In fact, I made more money Friday than I have ever made in a single day before.  I hope all of you were well positioned Thursday and Friday.
