About market, TAPE was under mild selling due to many minor issues, overbought, trade duty on December 15th for China & Fed policy statement on Wednesday. Market closed @ low of the day and VIX was sharply higher which remains to be sorted out as to why UP so much. Turnaround Tuesday may bring some smile @ close.
