Why is the VIX sky high? Only need to watch the NEWS.
Haven't heard anyone trying to explain why the selloff happened. It is only conjecture but I believe some hedge funds or similar used too much leverage and they get were in a situation in which they don't want to but are forced to sell. I doubt it was every day investors logging on to a website and dumping everything. Maybe it was Warren Buffet dumping Apple or the Nvidia CEO exercising options.

Remember 1987? What caused that? Markets can be strange.
