The miners were smacked much harder.

VIX moved higher.

Stocks in general were weak, except for the tech bubble and story stocks.

Ho ho, ho.

The northeast and Middle Atlantic are expecting a major nor'easter this week, carrying a potentially very heavy snowfall with it.

Have a pleasant evening.
