Here we are again. Equity futures up a fraction of a percent, just like always. Gee, it looked the market was actually getting interesting there for a little while, but the VIX tells the tale: it’s a dull grindfest, with no fear to be seen.

The small caps, by way of the /RTY futures, are the only ones looking droopy this morning.

Oh, and speaking of META, here’s one clip worth seeing. For the one or two of you curious about THE TALE from thie summer, yeah, this is directly related.
