Barry Ritholtz: Time To Stop Calling The VIX The “Fear Index”

TedTed
in The Bullpen
FYI: Oh no, the VIX broke 10 this week — a brutal stock-market crash and decade-long bear market is all but upon us.

Which leads me to the latest episode in our series 1 of market-indicator debunkings, prompted by the following question: Is the VIX really the market’s fear indicator?
Regards,
Ted
