Comment from T Mal - I don\u2019t do those for a credit 1x2, might as well reduce the distance between the strikes and pay a little
Question from White Leo - When do you think we\u2019ll see new inverse volatility tradeable products hit the market? I miss the old XIV days.
Comment from Mark Brandt - Embrace the coming Volpocalypse
Question from PBWO9 - Hello to my favorite vol show. Thx for keeping me company on the train every week. Love it! 5 stars on all platforms from me. My q - I know you\u2019ve talked a lot about the feb \u201cVIXocalypse\u201d from last year and the meltdown of the inverse volatility products like xiv. Now with the benefit of hindsight do you think that the prevelance of inverse products made the volatility spike much worse than it otherwise would have been. Also is the inverse true and now that those products are dead are we somewhat insulated from a repeat of vix spiking back up to 80.
Question from Jim Daily - Just to clarify. Are they really staying with $VXXB? There\u2019s no name change coming?
