More VIX: Market Volatility Index (VIX) The Market Volatility Index (VIX) measures the volatility of the market. A recent news story described it as "the options market's gauge of investor fear." The VIX is constructed by taking the weighted average of the implied volatility of Standard & Poors 100 Index calls and puts. The VIX doesn't measure the volatility of any individual stock or option; traders use it as a general indicator of market volatility and sentiment. The VIX is an inverse indicator. High numbers mean that there's excess bearishness, and low numbers indicate excess bullishness. The VIX is updated intraday by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), using Standard & Poors 100 Index (OEX) bid/ask quotes. It was created in 1993. Tom
