A naiive question from a newcomer to the thread: I believe understand the superficial mechanics of the VXN and VIX -- i.e. that they are aggregate measures of implied volatility of their respective indexes. But what are their practical applications with regard to options and the underlying equities, and what wisdom is derived from following them? Are they simply measures of relative turmoil in the markets, or are there more specific applications? Sorry for posing such a basic question, but thanks in advance for any guidance offered. AD
