Volatility Indices

---

The Volatility indices (VIX and QQV), are the insurance premiums paid by buyers of Calls and Puts to protect or profit from large price swings. The higher this premium, the higher the fear and expectations of large price moves. The Volatility premiums on options are some of the most watched sentiment indicator in the markets. Periods of high volatility are almost always followed by periods of declining volatility, and this over many time periods, from days to decades. The markets can actually rise or fall with a rising VIX and vice versa like we saw in the late 1990's and early 2000's.
