Volatility Voicemail: Options #BrokerMadness tournament going on now.

• Finals matchup! We have @Lightspeed v. @OptionsHouse
• Question from CheckersKing - I see a lot of folks talking about about moving averages and support and resistance levels in $VIX. Is this kind of TA useful with $VIX or is it apples to oranges?
• Question from MoustacheGod - I think I am too late but I pick axe/sword for the zombie apocalypse. What do I win. Jk. But if I am looking at an end times indicator is there one that is better than the rest or is it all about context and grouping multiple indicators together.
