Multiple Sarcasm: It Looks Like 16 Is The New 14...

At least when it comes to the VIX...

After some major moves to the upside for most of the day, all major indices failed to hold onto most of the day's gains, but still closed in the green save the Nasdaq, which was pretty alpha. 

The VIX is stubbornly holding onto the 16 level too and the MACD bullish divergence formation on the 10-day 15-minute chart is just on the verge of breaking out.

Not to be outdone, my portfolio continues to knife down and I'm kind of wishing I hadn't been so SLT-ty:
