This is the completely wrong interpretation of VIX.

VIX is not the inverse of price, it doesn't need to make a new high or low when the price does. It's right there in the name, it is the Volatility Index. It is a measure of market implied future volatility.

The S&P 500 could go to 100 and the VIX might remain below 20 the whole way down, if the move is in an orderly fashion.

Does that make it lagging?

[QUOTE="InsvestoBoy, post: 1063747, member: 69309"] This is the completely wrong interpretation of VIX. VIX is not the inverse of price, it doesn't need to make a new high or low when the price does. It's right there in the name, it is the [b]Volatility[/b] Index. It is a measure of market implied future volatility. The S&P 500 could go to 100 and the VIX might remain below 20 the whole way down, if the move is in an orderly fashion. Does that make it lagging? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
