Показать описание
In this episode of Forward Guidance Benn Eifert, Founder & CIO of QVR Advisors joins the show for a deep dive discussion on all things volatility. As markets are all down year to date, many investors have been surprised with the orderly selling and lack of increase in the VIX. Luckily we have Benn on the show to share the role of put options in this market, wether or not macro matters for volatility traders and volatility at both the single stock and index level.

We also discussed the past two years of stimulus induced retail options trading, how market structure has evolved, the best hedges for a slowly falling market and when we could expect a market bottom. To hear that, you'll have to tune in!

Excellent interview. Unlike most in this space, Benn's answers are crisp, precise, and absent of superfluous narrative/spin. Very high signal/noise ratio. I'd happily part with $ to invest with Benn. Also, credit to the interviewer for clearly doing his homework and coming prepared with great questions.

Please explain what a "Skew Lock" is in detail

At 26.45, "If it is -1.5% every single day" then realized vol is exactly 0. Volatility is the standard deviation of the returns and the returns are constant. But I think the speaker's answer makes sense if one assumes that the mean return is 0.

Such a fascinating conversation and listening to Benn explain his markets I realise that I am just a dumb ass. I have so much more to learn.

all these gurus lie their asses off because they don't want the public to know what's really going on.
