The VIX had its second biggest spike ever 2 days ago. Meanwhile the S&P500 is up nearly 1.5% today. This is good headline fodder, but doesn't change how I invest.

Came across this quote this morning (grabbed from MyDailyBuddha.com ) and thought it nicely captures the thrust of the post:

“In Buddhism, we work to illuminate the fundamental truth of our self-nature. When anger arises, it is pointing to something. Our anger is a clue to our underlying beliefs about ourselves. It can help to reveal our constructed sense of self-identity.”

– Jules Shuzen Harris, Zen teacher and psychotherapist (1940-2023)
