Listener questions and comments:

  • Question from Cube Finance - Do we smell the distinct odor of feedback loops about to take off? #risk #volatility
  • Question from Darren Hom - VXX and the index it's based on provided a statistically significant exposure to shorting straddles. This was not the case for VIX, presumably because of volatility drag. Is it that bad that XIV is gone?
  • Question from PRGR0 - SPY or SPX better for straight vol plays like straddles?
