Or, if you had the cash 6 weeks ago, you could have gotten in at roughly the same levels. Ignore the mania attached to "HUGE CORRECTIONS" and look at them in the context of the last 8 years or so. Last week as a blip and took us back 6 weeks. In 10-30 years it won't even be a blip.

Someone is blowing the whistle on this volatility. Apparently, it's been orchestrated.

I read that. I always thought it odd that the VIX was attached to S&P 500 futures. Volatility is defined as the movement up or down faster than average deviations. The fact that the VIX goes down on an upward move of 500 points doesn’t make sense to me. If the market, any market, is bouncing up or down 100-150 points and then one day pops 400-500 points, the VIX should go up because volatility just went up. That’s just my opinion, I’m obviously wrong, and the article talks about manipulation of the VIX futures, not an inaccurate representation of volatility, which is what I’m arguing. Maybe I’ll start my own lawsuit against Wall Street.
