0:00 Let's talk a little bit though about the VIX because the VIX is something that when the markets are rallying like the NASDAQ is rallying today and the Dow is pretty darn flat. We expect to see it sort of flat as well. It's at 1558. That's up a little more than 1.7% so far today. That's about all I have to say about the VIX. It's, as you can see on the chart here, just kind of meandering. But if you look at the chart over that period that Jared's got it up there, meandering lower, not meandering higher.
