Happy Fourth of July! What better way to celebrate than by flashing back to 2012 for a "Best Of" episode of Volatility Views. Enjoy and stay safe out there... Volatility Views 46: Volatility Discussion with the Godfather Volatility Review: Slaughter of the VIX April future, with May poised for the same. Credit Suisse released more creation units and TVIX crushed long positions - going from 13 to 6.5 in a week. Euro vol review -- March 1- and 3-month contracts expired last week. NASDAQ vol update. Volatility Viewpoint: Mark, Bob, and Mark have the great pleasure to discuss volatility with the Godfather: Anthony Neuberger, Professor of Finance at Warwick Business School. The gang discusses his seminal paper, "The Log Contract and Other Power Contracts." They also discuss tail risk and skew risk. Mark asks Prof. Neuberger if the market is correctly pricing in tail risk. Crystal Ball: Sebastian sees VIX staying between 14 and 16, with a lot of erosion in VXX. Watch out for contango. Euro vol is a coin flip right now. NASDAQ vol might be too expensive right now because of Apple.

This is my favorite podcast. QUESTION FROM MJAFARI: VXN of the last 30 days has encompassed the forward 30 days for the last 14 days. Meaning that the forward daily NDX moves did not exceed what the average back 30 days said the daily moves would be. This has happened 5 times since '07. Given this do you think a 30 day ATM straddle in NDX would be wise? Worth mentioning that the last 2 times this happens it also lasted 14 days. QUESTION FROM MADMEN: Loving the show.
