I think my metrics for figuring out if it's a good day or not, volume and volatility, are somewhat imperfect. Today we traded less than 1.5 billion and the VIX dropped, yet most people in my real office and in our virtual one, made decent money. Go figure.

Perhaps it has something to do with Ducati joining the VO.

Despite the somewhat lackluster volume, the indexes had nice moves. The Dow dropped 150 points from 3 to 3:30 and then bounced hard. The coal stocks ripped in the morning and then had complete reversals... there just seemed to be good movement.

Guys in my office were looking forward to tomorrow. They expect the volatility to come back. We'll see. I hope they're right.
