Vix and how it's misinterpreted

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!}

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

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.
