As you probably know today was a triple witch and the put buyers were being beaten soundly especially in the non-tech areas.

I would not jump ahead of this ramp job in equities however since it looks like the debt ceiling confrontation will be deferred into April. This gives the wiseguys more room for antics.
We have a three day weekend in the US with Martin Luther King Day on Monday, on which all markets will be closed.
Have a pleasant weekend.
