Listener Questions and Comments:
- Comment from VTrader - When VIX is below 11.5 since 2006, that current difference between from the front month and VIX cash is at its highest.
- Question from Eli Vagan - Did the spike in VIX last week finally break that short Vol feedback loop that everyone is focused on these days?
- Question from Benod - What was the truth behind that VIX strangle last week?
- Question from Allan Nemy - All this action in crude it seems like a good time for some crude Vol products. Why no CBOE crude volatility options?
