More of Bernanke and Paulson This Week

We did see a quick and sharp bounce in the market last Friday after the VIX printed a bearish reversal bar on Thursday. I talked about the VIX here. However, the market gave back all of its Friday's gain on Monday. Only consolation is that volume during the sell-off on Monday is low. The market is very event driven right now and gyrates wildly in either direction. Remember to trade small and staying in cash is also a position to take.
