About VIX
Measures expected S&P 500 volatility over the next 30 days — often called the market's 'fear gauge'.
What could go wrong
An index isn't something you buy directly — it's a benchmark. Funds that track it will rise and fall with the overall market, so a broad market downturn affects nearly every holding at once.
This price reflects one educational scenario, not a live quote. When you toggle to Advanced you'll see extra metrics like 52-week range and volatility.
