Over the course of ten trading days, the volatility index has lost a full one-third of its value.
Just about every index is at a new lifetime high, including the largest company in the world, Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL), which has, for the first time, pushed above a trendline that has been in place for years.
The only cautionary note is that, as we pound into the 11-zone on the VIX, this has tended to be the lower bound for bullish bliss and devil-may-care optimism.
