How to use $VIX as a Family Investor?

VIX Zones for Family Investors (Fortnightly Review)

1. BTFD Zone (Buy the Fear Dip):
• VIX above 22
• This is a buying opportunity. The higher the VIX, the greater the market fear—take advantage if you have capital available.

2. Cruise Control Zone:
• VIX between 18 and 22
• Do nothing. No buying or selling—just stick to your routine and monitor the market.

3. Profit-Taking Zone:
• VIX below 18
• Consider taking profits from higher-volatility stocks and reallocating to more defensive, large-cap stocks. This helps protect your gains in case of a sudden market drop.
