Volatility has been on the rise since the market topped out in early April.  As measured by VIX – the so-called ‘fear gauge’ – volatility has increased from 19 to 33 in just 2 months.  This means that investors are more fearful of a new financial meltdown than they were back then.  Some say that this might just be the calm before the storm.  

What do you think?  Have things really gotten better in the global economy, or have policy makers simply postponed the inevitable day of reckoning?  Cast your vote, and see what other investors are thinking.

Will VIX be higher or lower one month from today?
