VIX Data

The VIX continues to fall so it is time to take a look at some summary stats on it.  I took a look at VIX closing prices going back to 1/2/1990.  While it is obviously low, it is by no means an outlier yet.  Nevertheless, I'm currently cautious with long beta exposure and have a positive outlook on volatility.
