CI have been thinking about you and the Virginia deer, as I was grazing somewhat heavily (for me) in recent days on SPX index funds. Always do not like when technicals were broken as strongly as they were for 200 day SMAs, but hopefully looking at technical data we had a capitulation day last Wednesday then hit pretty good oversold conditions on Friday of last week. The market like unlike driving a car is always much easier looking in the rearview mirror. 😉
