VIX vs SPX

Here is a chart that I have with VIX lined up with the S&P500 (set up a month ago)

investorshub.com

take a close look at 1998 where VIX fell like a rock from two runs between 50 and 60 to two lows of 20 in just 3 months.

Now look at the chart right below and check out what the S&P500 did between those two time points.

Now compare this to what we are seeing today and what we saw in the bear market.

I don't think VIX on its own is a reliable indicator, but it sure was very useful for me to sell some bonds and buy some beta last fall when it lined up well with other indicators.
