VIX
Posted on 3/23/20 at 9:58 am

The last two trading days we're seeing a decline in the VIX despite the market declining. Are seeing the early stages of a bottom or something else? Given we're in the midst of an unprecedented black swan event anything could happen. Thoughts?

We are going to have a V shaped recovery. I’ve already educated LSURussian on this.

The market is down 4.5% and the vix is still flat.

Lol this will not be a V shaped recovery
Y’all listening to this dude down 30% on his lump sum investment on “stocks on sale”

because the VIX is a function of volatility, not decreases

You don’t understand the market, nor do you understand VIX

Usually is. But "Fear Gauge" also

It typically moves inversely to the market which is why it caught my attention. The fact that it is a forward looking gauge may mean things are calming down. Maybe folks are seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.

No, it always it. The VIX is a benchmark index designed specifically to track S&P 500 volatility.

Are you trying to say today was not volatile?
Posted on 3/23/20 at 2:41 pm to Pendulum
Least volatile day since 3/11. It's all relative.

Institutions use the VIX- cboe to hedge portfolios. The more they pay up for these contracts the more fear they have for declines in the markets. Hopes that helps a little.

Heard about the trader they call 50 cent? He bought like 30k VIX contracts for 50 cents in jan or feb and sold them for like 20 bucks a piece a week or two ago.
I probably have some of the details wrong but the guy made a shite ton. Could’ve been a hedge fund also. Nothing to do with this discussion really but thought I’d share.

I noticed the same thing. On Friday’s close indicies we’re down 4% and Vix was down 8%. Hopefully it gets below 54, ideally below 50. It’s one piece of the puzzle.

What do you do Russian? You seem to have a pretty deep grasp of this stuff.
