As VIX Tops 14, Stock Investors Exclaim "Where Are The Dip Buyers?"

Something's different today...

Instead of the ubiquitous panic-bid open (after overnight weakness)...

 

...that is not happening today...

 

And VIX is running notably back above 14.00...

 

As a reminder, should the Dow closed red today, this would be the 8th losing day in a row - a streak that hasn't been beaten since 1978.
