I did misread your statement. Your statement "Vix only got over 40 during the Great Recession" is still not truthful. Here are the data that excludes the great Recessions. Everyone of these top 10s are above 40. 10 highest VIX closes ex 2008-2009 Mon 08 Aug 2011 = 48.00 Thu 20 May 2010 = 45.79 Thu 08 Oct 1998 = 45.74 Mon 03 Oct 2011 = 45.45 Thu 10 Sep 1998 = 45.29 Mon 05 Aug 2002 = 45.08 Tue 23 Jul 2002 = 44.92 Mon 31 Aug 1998 = 44.28 Thu 20 Sep 2001 = 43.74 Fri 11 Sep 1998 = 43.74 10 highest intraday VIX days ex 2008-2009 Values are daily VIX highs Mon 24 Aug 2015 = 53.29 Tue 06 Feb 2018 = 50.30 Thu 08 Oct 1998 = 49.53 Fri 21 Sep 2001 = 49.35 Tue 28 Oct 1997 = 48.64 Wed 24 Jul 2002 = 48.46 Fri 21 May 2010 = 48.20 Fri 11 Sep 1998 = 48.06 Mon 08 Aug 2011 = 48.00 Tue 09 Aug 2011 = 47.56
