Listener Questions and Comments:

  • Question from JC - What am i missing? If VXX erodes why does anyone buy it?
  • Question from Simyan - So I should just short VXX into the dust? Is that the deal?
  • Question from Nils - So if the max length between splits is 3 years, and the minimum split price is $10 - aren’t the Jan 2019 20 puts for $2 a screaming deal?
  • Question from TimTim - Do any other Vol products exhibit this erosion?
