As I write this, the VIX is up greater than 20%. Its only done this on 9 other occasions in the past 10 years. To the left are the 10 stocks that performed the best, on average during the month after a 20% up day in the VIX.

Here are those dates, plus where the SPY was then and one month later:

far........I strongly recommend watching

this
month. It's a piece put together by a
guy named professor Niall Ferguson.
very
good TV (unlike most of crap on
nowadays)..like the Housewives of
Orange
County..lol

This Guy (Ferguson) was also on Stephen
Colbert last night.

This special covers everything from
Quant funds (that use mathematical
algorithms...ie Long Term Capital
Management LTCM....Scholes and Merton )
to
determine futures contracts...to the
bond market...to the future of
"Chiamerica"....LTCM got a new
york fed brokered BAIL OUT when the
Russian
economy went under ya know. And there a
hedge fund....lol
