Calm before the storm? Interesting similarities in the behavior of volatility ($Vix) – 2008 versus present

by goldenloi

I want to be very clear: I am not trying to say that 2023 will be an exact repeat of 2008. Only time will tell exactly how this plays out. Either way, I found it interesting just how similar the volatility performance was between these two periods. You have alot of people right now who are confused/frustrated about the way financial volatility has been falling almost every day in a seemingly volatile world. It’s possible that this is simply the calm before the storm as it was in ’08.

I know this chart isn’t perfect. The scales aren’t identical. Regardless, I hope it serves its purpose to show the similarities that I’m referring to.

Happy to answer any questions.
