It’s been an interesting few weeks for equity markets and in the VIX, with the usual crop of doom and gloom ‘experts’ emerging from the undergrowth to call the top of the market, before disappearing equally quickly, realizing that they were wrong….. once again!! When will they learn. As an aside, and unrelated, one aspect of these stories which I always find immensely amusing, and somewhat bizarre, is the images in the media that generally accompany these major down days.
