M1:M2 VIX Futures Contango/Backwardation through the 2008 Financial Crisis 

Would have required legit trading skill to navigate that one

At some point, we will be tested again...

The VIX : VIX6M ratio can be a good basic gauge of risk on-risk off

0.8836 is the 66th percentile, so about 2/3's of trading days are below that value and would be a decent baseline for "aggressive" trades

Charlie Munger:

“The secret to life is easy because it's so simple:

You don’t have a lot of envy or resentment. You don’t overspend your income. You stay cheerful in spite of your troubles. You deal with reliable people and you do what you’re supposed to do.”

6)  The MODE of the VIX Index is in the 12's

As we can see, the VIX spends a lot of time in the 11 - 16 range

All in all I would say the "average" VIX index value is closer to 13

The MODE and MEDIAN are more useful than the MEAN when it comes to the VIX

[Volatility Trading @VolatilityVIX]

A lot of traders think when the VIX index gets low, it's time to go Long Volatility $VXX $UVXY

This is WRONG! Obviously markets are uncertain and anything can happen

But when VIX is low and front month VIX future is WAY above the VIX:

This is a SHORT Volatility signal

Successful investing is a slow process that takes decades

Anybody telling you it's fast or easy is a fraud

What happens Monday?

[Volatility Trading @VolatilityVIX]

I don't get the "Bitcoin is money" argument

Shit goes South quick if people expect their "currency" to appreciate in value

In a consumer based economy, the fact that dollars lose value is the whole point
