Volatility Review: A mild selloff on the street caused by the ever-growing tensions in Ukraine. This would be a perfect time for VXST, but you will have to wait until April 10. TVIX gets a second life, whether it merits it or not. CBOE to expand VIX hours.
Volatility Voicemail: What do you want to know?
- Question from Charles Engel - Is there any way to buy and hold VXX without paying the inherent roll risk?
- Comment from IfThen - Bitcoin cut in half after Mt. Gox - talk about volatility!
- Question from C-Bug - Are there any products on the horizon that you think can dethrone VIX from the volatility throne? Vol Dex?
- Question from Tom Wills, Eugene, OR - I remember you discussing a VIX call strategy that could out-perform direct SPX put spreads on an older episode, but I'm not sure which of your 100 episodes it was. Please help!
