Here's What's Driving the Most Volatile Markets We've Seen Since 2016

The legendary Jack Bogle, founder of Vanguard Investments, gave an interview to CNBC last week in which he said, "I have never seen a market this volatile to this extent in my career… I've seen two 50-percent declines, I've seen a 25-percent decline in one day, and I've never seen anything like this before."

The "father" of passive index investing is, of course, talking about the powerful whipsawing on the Dow Jones Industrial Average and the much broader S&P 500; sharp, triple-digit declines followed by sharp, triple-digit rallies what seems like every other day or so.

3 of the Best Investments to Make During Extreme Volatility

The stock market spoiled investors last year with low volatility and outsized returns. In 2017, the Dow Jones climbed nearly 27% while the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX) fell more than 34%.

Unfortunately, that trend has ended. Since peaking in January, the Dow has slipped 10%, while volatility has skyrocketed. The VIX is up almost 100% in 2018 alone.

That kind of volatility breeds fear in many retail investors. But it can also create a massive profit opportunity for those who know where to look.

That's why we're bringing you three of the best investments to make during times of extreme volatility.
