 In the last 23 years, the VIX has never gone below 8.84.
 8.84 was around July 26, 2017.
 That's Y that trader placed that bet.
 What were the historical odds the VIX would go lower? Not much.
 
 *   LOW   *
 8.84 - July 26, 2017

 Young peeps who were in HS in 2000 & 2008 will get suckered in again.
 Young couples will continue to "hold" and get wiped out.
 "Oh honey, it will go back up" ....
 NO, it won't.
 It's FINISHED.
 9 years of Obama's bad Fed fiscal policy going down the tubes.
