Since 1990 ..... If you bought the market with VIX hitting 32.... you will always sell it for a profit within several weeks. As in.. the market was always higher several weeks later. Too bad there is no VIX data before 1990 to see if it holds up in other periods.

Wasn't there a change in the way they computed the VIX? Or am I thinking of some other indicator?
