Market Timing Update (8/4/11)

[EOD] Stocks -
SPX - retraced more than 40% of the July 2010 to Feb 2011 advance as a result of today's near 5% decline. The corrective structure since the Feb high survives for now, but odds of a top being in place has definitely increased. A near term low likely.

VIX surged - an upward flat OR [iii] of 3 in progress.
