What the “Fear Gauge” is Telling Us About the Stock Market
The VIX is not a fear gauge, though it often plays one on TV. At any given moment, the CBOE Volatility Index sends us myriad signals about traders’ expectations for risk and volatility that are much more nuanced than a simple dichotomy between fear and greed. In this insightful keynote (that ties in current market conditions at the time of the conference), Steven will discuss ways to interpret those signals. He will also include an examination of the roles played by correlation and dispersion in the index level.
