Arch, As long as we're adjusting data for the VIX (and honestly I don't know how you'd do this), let's not forget that the NYSE and other markets were closed for a week in September. If the markets had managed to open and stay open on September 11, 12, 13, I don't doubt that the VIX would have seen an incredible spike. The week off gave politicians, regulators and common folk a long chance to sit back, scream, yell, grieve and calm down a little. Maybe the 9/11 VIX was really a 170 VIX after all, only it occurred and vanished off market. Kb
