Second, panic index
In addition to introducing the popular ETF of US stocks, the class representative also wants to popularize the concept of "panic index". BecauseETF investors can make investment judgments based on the index.
The VIX Index is the trading code of the CBOE market volatility index, which is commonly used to measure the implied volatility of S & P 500 index options.
It is often referred to as the "panic index" or "panic indicator", through which people can understand the market's expectations for the S & P 500 over the next 30 days.
VIX is designed to warn of potential risks in the market.Therefore,VIX is often used as an important basis for investors to increase or decrease their positions.. In the US stock market, the VIX index usually exceeds 40, indicating that the market's irrational panic about the future may rebound in the short term; in contrast, a VIX index below 15 indicates irrational exuberance in the market, which may be accompanied by selling pressure.
As of 6: 00 on Sept. 3, the current VIX panic index remained at 26.57.

As an index, the panic index itself cannot be traded. However, one way to trade VIX is to trade volatility on options, and another simpler way is to trade VIX futures trading funds.
It should be noted that many investors are often accompanied by a sharp rise in the VIX index because of the sharp fall in the market.So it is often chosen.IPATH S & P 500 VIX short-term futures ETN (VXX.US) $或$ProShares Ultra VIX short-term futures ETF (UVXY.US) $As a tool for shorting or hedging.
In most cases, there is nothing wrong with this strategy. But investors must be clear that the rise in volatility is usually a result of some strong uncertainty about the future. And once the uncertainty is confirmed, even if the market continues to fall, long VIX can not perfectly achieve the goal of shorting the market.
That is to say,VXX, UVXY only has a very explosive short selling effect at the beginning of the worst fall in the market.
The above is the full introduction of the common US stock ETF and panic index.
