VIX (stock volatility index based on S&P options) had its largest ever one-day percentage increase today, closing above 37. Spikes over 30 happen from time to time when markets are very nervous. Why so much fear right now? I'm puzzled.

Go check the VIX over the last couple of months. You'll see why. A Ketchup bottle is a good metaphor for the markets currently.

the VIX had been on a century record low for the last couple of months. The S&P and the Dow Jones have been rising at such constant rates that hadnt been seen in several decades. A necessary "correction" was inevitable (correction here is a big understatement)
