Still climbing after RTH....albeit climbing like someone with multiple amputations (slowly).  

I'll be a little surprised if we're still tracking the VIX like this a year from now.  It's past time for someone to come out with a new tracking mechanism that takes a more holistic view of what is happening in the short term derivatives market. That said, waiting for that might be like waiting for the Gov to start tracking most, if not all goods for inflation reads. It wouldn't be that hard in today's digital, almost cashless society, but it would uncover things that many would rather didn't see the light of day.
