Volatility Views 137: Crying Wolf in Volatility ETPs

Volatility Review: The week in vol:

  • Global Derivatives Event: It was nice to see a lot of Vol Views listeners and former guests! Sell implied when VIX is low, buy implied when VIX is high.
  • VIX Cash: High - 15.74, Low - 13.13
  • VIX Options: Total 4.34M (2.89M Calls, 1.46M Puts)
  • VXST: Another weird volume week - 300 to 3,000 contracts on various days. Total 11k (8305 Calls, 2801 Puts)
  • A Review of Jared's Vol ETP Report - Crying Wolf: What the VIX alarmists are missing.
  • Crude Vol: Nat Gas and Oil
