If there is no fear then that is really a bad sign because from all accounts there is plenty that can go wrong at every turn.

HFT's aren't programmed for fear, only manipulation and opportunity.

If there was still a retail investor left the VIX would be bouncing off of all time highs and the paltry -100 or -200 down dow days could easily be multiplied by 4 or 5.

Look at the 10 yr if you want to see fear, probably every sovereign nation is buying it hand over fist.

June 17 is near the date for resumption of the infernal, eternal talks with Iran. There has been significant posturing and near threats by the west which is odd since it works to the political and career advantage of nobody outside of Israel. Still, sometimes bombs fall when there is no economic profit and no permanent solution of the problem for the belligerents. HAS ANYONE NOTICED HOW RUSSIA SEEMS TO KEEP THE FIRE GOING? And how much their economy profits from high oil prices? Gotta love Putin.
