Volatility Viewpoint: Today's guest is Euan Sinclair, Author of Volatility Trading Editions 1 & 2, as well as Options Trading. He discusses:

  • What is driving the pronounced decrease in VIX?
  • What were the primary drivers of the dramatic increase in "Vol-of-Vol" we saw at the end of 2014?
  • CBOE is launching VIX weeklies soon. Does he feel they have the potential to succeed where VXST has failed miserably?
  • A sneak peek of any book he currently has in the works.
