@ben_golub @gvarnu Peaks always depends whether you use intraday (or intraweek, intramonth, etc.) highs or not. Highest VIX close was 80.9 (Nov 20, 2008) Highest VIX intraday was 89.5 (Oct 24, 2008)

@ben_golub @gvarnu Ben, looks like your graph was just showing the monthly closes (i.e., the last trading day of each month). Which is not unusual but a VERY common source of confusion in media narratives about the market.
