Dow Dips Below 16k As Vix Spikes
I thought 16000 would be where the Dow bounced. It now looks like we're going to trade down to the 15700-15800 level before we'll find support. When viewing the VIX charts, you'll see one of two things will happen...
First Hint Of Fear
I kinda get the feeling that many traders are out there waiting for the big one...the correction that comes out of nowhere. For such a small % decline on the major indexes today it sure felt like a lot of fear is in the air.
