One of the better measures of fear is the <b>VIX</b> (CBOE volatility index).

GVZ - a Gold Volatility Index ETF Fund?</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;The Cboe Gold ETF Volatility Index (&quot;Gold VIX&quot;, Ticker - GVZ) measures the market&#039;s expectation of 30-day volatility of gold prices by applying the VIX methodology to options on <a href="http://www.cboe.com/gld" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cboe.com/gld" rel="nofollow">SPDR Gold Shares (Ticker - GLD)</a>. Like other indexes using the VIX methodology, GVZ uses options spanning a wide range of strike prices.</p><p><br /></p><p>GLD is an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that represents fractional, undivided interest in the SPDR Gold Trust, which primarily holds gold bullion. As such, the performance of GLD is intended to reflect the spot price of gold, less fund expenses.&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>huh ... you learn something new every day</p><p><a href="http://www.cboe.com/products/vix-index-volatility/volatility-on-etfs/cboe-gold-etf-volatility-index-gvz" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cboe.com/products/vix-index-volatility/volatility-on-etfs/cboe-gold-etf-volatility-index-gvz" rel="nofollow">http://www.cboe.com/products/vix-index-volatility/volatility-on-etfs/cboe-gold-etf-volatility-index-gvz</a></p><p><br /></p><p>well .... just remember as &quot;fear&quot; retreats the # goes down .. it doesn&#039;t maintain a level unless &quot;fear&quot; is maintained.</p><p><img src="https://www.bullionvault.com/gold-news/sites/default/files/vix-gold-sept-2016.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=78298]@Michael K[/USER][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
