Vix and how it's misinterpreted

cdcaveman:
Well, it kinda made sense if you don't think about it! ;-) I'm no expert, but that seemed like a good example of the "dopeler effect" {The tendency for stupid ideas to seem more intelligent if they come at you faster!}

Hahaha.... Fear index down... No one is scared. Sounds like a buy... Scramble for shares!!!
 
Here is CNBC touting the vix being down as a time to buy stocks......

Anyone who has read anything about vix knows taking the vix being low is a signal to buy is just pure noise..... So many papers and research have been done with this
.... Are people really this stupid

You do realize there are academic research papers that say just the opposite.

I guess it depends on who did the research and what parameters they used...I've seen many research from both camps. :eek:
 
VIX being down or at recent lows is a signal to buy VIX derivatives not stocks. Extremely stupid recommendation from CNBC but they're a paid off bag transfer agent anyway.
