A New Hope?



Is there any hope for the market? The Friday late day rally off of the lows was encouraging. Several areas such as small capitalization stocks (IWM +5%), REITs (ICF +11%), and financials (XLF +10%) did very well. However, the VIX closed at 70 up another 9% on the day. Can a rally survive more than a few hours without a substantial decrease in volatility?
