Options #QuestionOfTheWeek - $VIX has already hit single digits under @realDonaldTrump. How low will it get during the rest of his term?

  • It will not break 10 again
  • Between 9 -10
  • Between 8 - 9
  • Below 8

Listener feedback:

  • Question from Bigtonutz - 9372 $WY Jul21 35 calls went up in 1 block on the PHLX. Are they looking for this to probably going above 35 by July?
