Summary
More than anything, it is most notable that the VIX high for 2013 was a mere 21..whilst the 2012 high was 27.
It remains an Incredibly confident market, one which has little concern of the Fed easing off the paper printing peddle.
--
The only issue is when the VIX will break back into the 20s. When the market breaks lower in mid/late January, it will be fascinating to see if Mr Market gets spooked, or whether it will be just a series of small volatility gains into the upper teens.
As it is, I have no plan to go long volatility until the late spring at the earliest.
