Seems like it’s really unsure what to do with itself.

Anyone think they know what’s up?

By percentage or by dollar amount? Also, compared to when? Remember that at a 13000 DOW, a 100 point swing is like a 50 point swing at a 7500 DOW.

This is an index that measures expected market volatility, which you can trade. The ticker is ^VIX on yahoo finance.

If you want more info on the VIX head over the the Chicago Board Options exchange and it will tell you all you need to know.
