October 1, 2008 Daily Morning Spot

September 2008 is over, and in spite of yesterday’s rally, it was ugly.
The TSX was down about 15% last month, and many of the issues that have led markets lower remain unresolved.
The VIX, a well known measure of market fear, remains near record highs.
October may not be as difficult as September, but it is likely to have its challenges.
