I will be traveling tonight into tomorrow.
There will be no further updates this week.
That will be me in a seat drinking away my sorrows for screwing up the Vix trade.
Such is the nature of trading.

Stocks...
Spu's...we tested the 1952 level. Sustained and closing price action under 1954 will lead to more downside.
AAPL...is the canary in the coal mine. A Friday close under 93.52 signals more weakness.
VIX...has gone from double bottoming yesterday to rallying to a 30% rally into weekly resistance.
