I attribute low VIX to proliferation of volatility selling funds. Volatility has been going down since 9/11 event and it looks to me that hedge funds continue shorting it. They are shorting poots on stocks and indices hoping that Greenspan's put will save them if they get into trouble. Remember when some home builder was going to start a fund selling covered calls? Schaeffer called recent volatility selling as "stooping for nickels and dimes in front of a steamroller" schaeffersresearch.com schaeffersresearch.com
