VIX Near 5-Year Low


Story at Yahoo here.  This stock market volatility indicator is at recent  new lows last realized before the GFC of 2008.  From the story:
Since July 2007 the VIX dropped below 15 only twice - in April 2011 and a few days ago (Tuesday's low was 13.99, the April low was 14.30).
This low reading typically indicates a somewhat complacent posture by market participants.
