I'm not sure Herm ever mentioned using the VIX to time a particular CC write (or purchase). The only thing I ever recall reading from him on this subject, was the judicious use of expanding volatility, as measured by the VIX, in conjunction with rising interest rates (in particular, the 30 year T-Bill to the all important 6% level), to forewarn an impending market correction to the downside. Other than that, I believe implied volatility as compared to historical volatility, on an individual security, may be a more useful determinant for assessing when to buy/write options.
