At the close on Friday the Put to Call ratio closed at 0.81 and the VIX closed at 25.93, the lowest value since mid September last year when all the problems with the Sub Prime loans and Banks began.

The Dow continues to hug the downtrend line which started a year ago and was shown in my post last Thursday. I expect it to continue to go down and I expect the S&P 500 to do the same. I am still invested in my ETF Ultra shorts TZA and will hold on to this until we hit back at the lows of 7,300 on the Dow or if we go and retest the low of 6,440, which many believe eventually we will need to successfully retest, before a true Bull market Rally will begin.
