Volatility Voicemail: Listener questions and comments

  • Question from Nixy - Just found this hose on iTunes and liked the discussion about the new VIX ETPs. I am curious what you think of the CVol ETF product? Worth my time or more volatility detritus?
  • Comment from Abstergo_US - Great discussion on VXX leap puts. After listening to your program, I pulled up the VXX options chain and pulled the trigger on the Jan 2017 12 puts for around $2 in my IRA. Fast forward a few weeks and these puts are already up well over 10%. Thanks again for the great tip. Seems like everyone should be loading up on these things.

Crystal Ball: Reckless prognostication.
