12pm update - back to tedium

US equities remain moderately weak, with the sp'500 managing to slip -12pts to 2062.    Energy prices remain exceptionally weak, Oil -1.3%, with Nat' gas -3.3%, which is naturally causing continued problems for the oil/gas drillers.

Summary

*Another teasing morning to the bears, moderate declines... but just no real downside power to it.. as reflected in the VIX which is already in danger of turning red.

I've been seeing the usual suspects start touting huge downside in spring/summer 2015... everything from the 'mere' sp'1600s..to even lower.

Whether a minor retrace to 2020/15.. or even a brief foray to 2000/1980... it should make ZERO difference to anyone more focused on the bigger picture.

I can't wait to see the bearish hysteria when rates are raised next year. Yeah.. 25bps is going to CRASH everything, right?
