• Question from Cspell: I'm interested to get OI's thoughts on second order greeks. I don't recall them ever being mentioned on any of your shows before. I don't see too much mentioned about them in general, even in the hinterlands although I have recently seen them talked about on another site and they tout them as the holy grail so to speak. Thanks!
