lol by that logic we should be careful in how we trade because we wouldn't want to make "the market" fearful. Also, that link interesting because I've only ever followed the VIX and didn't know about the others in that list.

True, but telling people a program is alive or sentient when it's not is spreading a false hood.

Nice, and I hadn't used the VIX before. We both learned something today. :)

Ah, I'm enlightened on another level, having looked up the quote now. Thank you -- that's TWO things I've learned today!
