VIX Trix John, I use the VIX and CPC (Put/Call) in their stochastic readings. I do not really consider the VIX or CPC to have high/low readings where one should act. I think that you need to look at an oscillator of them to guage whether they are cheap or expensive, relative to their past histories. Someone suggested Bollinger Bands - this works quite well as well. -macavity VIX is only cheap/expensive relative to the underlying stock price volatility. Trying to read the VIX for complacency is a hard call when the market is getting less volatile.
