It is interesting to point out ( As our good friend Vulture has ) that the VIX has bottomed in the last week of August on a number of occassions. Hmmmm....
it happens most every year seems like. But don't expect September to be wham-bam-thank you ma'm. Jewish holidays are the last week in Sepetember and things don't really get moving til after then.
They moved the Holiday's up so that Shawn Greene would be able to play in the NLCS but the Dodger's are out of it anyway.
