It would be weird to purchase these accounts because they are from 9 years ago. Purchasing accounts gets you a lot of different times, especially on YouTube. YouTube accounts don't have any benefits from being old because they do not have the points or special memberships that Reddit has.
Volatility is intermmediate, so it's difficult to explain to a beginner like you. Basically, this is a tool to measure volatility but volatility eventually dies down, which makes it difficult to measure and it is also relative. What this index does is decay over time, meaning that it trends downward, but once it gets to a certain point, it has to reset its starting point or it will go to zero and stay there. Volatility doesn't just go to zero, or we would have complete safety in the stock market because stocks would slightly increase or stay flat forever. It's more relative to what's happening in the short term in which it's decaying, so like a week or a month.
A day having a big jump like that means it's a big spike in volatility. When you see it jumping back to $30 multiple times over a year, that's a sign that the market has been volatile over the year.
I knew a guy who thought VIX was a stock that spiked 4x what it was worth from time to time and he held a lot of it. He lost a lot of money.
Are you not aware that VIX is a decaying tool for volatility, not a stock? The one year proves his point too. It should be lower as time passes. An 11% spike is significant. It affects the premiums and the market as a whole.
I think VIX was around the same last year when I sold some puts on it. Crazy. With the decay, it should have been trending toward the reverse split already. Crazy shit. I haven't been able to put any money into the market because I'm dealing with some other shit right now, but the volatility would have made me bank this year.
I've seen both. Mostly Kyiv on the European side and Kiev everywhere else. The weird thing is how the left is saying it's Keev and changed the Wikipedia article. They did some hardcore vandalization and some of the editors changed it back but some admins came in and said Keev and Keeve are fine.
I think it's just to show they are coming for "Z"/Zelensky.
