Thursday, December 23, 2010, 12:19 PM With the VIX recently dropping to a three-year low of 15.45, Bill Luby warns investors not to get too excited about the recent lack of volatility - at least not for this time of year.

Monday, December 20, 2010, 5:10 PM The VIX fell below 16, a level unseen since just before the spring correction, and MarketBeat wonders if it means complacency has set in.

Seeing the VIX fall to these levels is another eyebrow raiser." 6 Comments
