They will pump it into the close!!! You can see some relief as of the last 20 minutes with some buying coming in. Russel is holding up EXTREMELY well in these conditions!!!
Looks like Wallstreet suffered a partial meltdown today at 2:19 but recovered and hazardous vix levels back to safer levels from a peak 31's
================ See your point, never fear Ben is here; but unleaded gas needed to come down anyway, SPY has closed ,cleanly enough/below 50dma, closed daysbelow 50dma on higer sell volume. So some times the markets ignore irrational exuberancetalk , & simply trend downward. Not a prediction, simply probabilities.
Agreed, Russell is holding so well (<10 points) even S&P drop by nearly 25 points. I bought some 790 March Call for Russell before closed. May hit the lottery tomorrow
