both big numbers, mainly cause we haven't seen this in awhile...in '87 crash vix was over 150. ETF's and a zillion options help make it thick now.

ETF's might really impact this thing, just like they did to the upside. Someone recently said there was a ton of cash on the sidelines. It could stay there.

A typical rule of thumb is that if the VIX moves 10%+ in one day, the market usually reverses the next day. But +70% in one day? Don't think I recall anywhere near that!
