Volatility sellers do sell the VIX futures and ETFs, but they also write puts and other more complex strategies.

The VIX dropped while stocks were dropping in a move that's often referred to as a VIX slam.
In all likelihood, there is a lot of money being printed. Last week was a test for no QE. The ECB balance sheet grew by just 2 billion euros. They can buy up to $30 billion euros a month through September.

It has not caused a crash in the market yet, but it did cause the total crash of XIV. Obviously the VIX slam game was being played at the open today.

Moderate Inflation is usually good for stock bulls. But bonds will lose value in proportion to interest rate hikes.

There is one thing i strongly agree with the cheif. Market action has got nothing to do with economic fundamentals or corporate earnings. All these correlations are fleeting.

Interestingly though, there was a reaction after the CPI data whereas I think the past few years there has been little. Bends the question with the tightening of interest rates and the Fed backing away from purchases could we be moving back to normal trading once again who knows, who cares. As we look back I think the question will be, was this whole correction due to that volatility mistake or interest rates rising. Right now it looks like it was the volatility with the 10-year hitting 2.94% earlier today.
