RtS, yes - since 2000 VIX has acted differently. I think any parameter that stays the same for a long time [before it spikes] is not very useful for timing the spike. It is reasonable to expect the spike - but when? [sort of like a long narrow Bollinger band]

If low VIX means 'complacency' then we must admit 'complacency' can last a long time. If a VIX spike means 'panic' we must remember that 'panic' be definition is always a short lived phenomenon. That's why VIX can stay low for a long time, but never stays high for long.
