The VIX Lied to You This Week

Don Kaufman here.

Something really weird happened this week.

And if you missed it...

You're about to get blindsided by what's coming next.

See, on Thursday the VIX hit 14.14.

That's stupidly low.

Like... "everything's fine, nothing to see here" low.

Most traders looked at that number and thought...

"Cool. No volatility. Safe to get aggressive."

But here's what they DIDN'T see...

While the VIX was lulling everyone to sleep at 14.14...

The VVIX quietly spiked to 97.

Now... if you don't know what the VVIX is...

It's the volatility OF volatility.

Basically... it tells you when the smart money is hedging for something big.

And 97?

That's not normal.

So while retail traders were getting complacent...

The pros were quietly positioning for chaos.

Here's the thing about VIX levels below 15...

They can signal that investors are overly optimistic.

Potentially ignoring risks.

The VIX is mean-reverting... meaning it tends to return to its historical average of around 17-20.

When it's this low... there's a higher likelihood of volatility spikes.

Especially if market catalysts emerge.

And we're heading into September.

Historically the most volatile month of the year.

That 14.14 VIX on Thursday isn't strength.

It's complacency.

And complacency kills.

Look... I've spent over a decades mastering volatility trading.

I've developed systems that help traders navigate these exact situations.

And because it's Labor Day weekend...

I'm doing something I've never done before.

I'm releasing my complete VIX Volatility training at a massive discount.

But only until Monday at midnight.
