Thanks SIV66. That's your turf, definitely value your outlook.
Watching VIX, had failed it's 200 MA down and then SPX 50 MA failed it's up, all lined up within a two day period.
As long as no decision made on Syria The Unknown/Uncertain then vols high...it's only day 2 of 'no decision'. I hear you, direction could change fast this week on that or even a rumor of. Until then...playing as it lays downside spx.
