HERE’S THE GOOD NEWS BEING SENT BY THE FEAR INDEX $VXX $VIX $SPY $FB $AMZN $MU $AAPL $NFLX $IWM $QQQ $GOOG

Wall Street’s fear index is based on expectations of market volatility. Professionals use and trade this volatility in a variety of ways. But the average investor doesn’t. Nonetheless, he or she can benefit from the message sent by volatility.

Let’s explore with a chart.

Please click here for an annotated chart of volatility ETF VXX.  The ETF has a tracking error compared with the CBOE Volatility Index VIX.

I’m going to leave out the intricacies of volatility in our discussion. After all, the purpose of this article is to help the average investor get good returns. The VXX is an easy-to-follow ETF, and that is the reason for using it here.

Please note the following from the chart:

• The VXX goes up when the market goes down, and vice versa.

• Moves in the VXX are exaggerated compared with those of the stock market. An investor may want to compare moves in the VXX with popular ETFs such as S&P 500 SPY,  Nasdaq 100 ETF QQQ,  small-cap ETF IWM, and Dow Jones Industrial Average ETF DIA.  There are separate volatility products for those indexes, but here we are keeping things simple.

• The chart shows that during the “go-go” days when the market went straight up, volatility was low.

• There was a big initial spike in volatility that was accompanied by heavy volume.

• As shown on the chart, subsequent rises in volatility didn’t reach the previous high levels.

• The volatility is oversold, according to the relative strength index (RSI) shown on the chart.
