Listener Questions and Comments:

  • Question from J Randall – S&P skew is pretty standard at this point. How do the other major indexes like NASDAQ and Russell compare? Steeper? Are the puts as rich?
  • Question from NN02 – Crude still lining up for bullish risk reversals here or has that ship sailed?
  • Comment from Tim D. – My crazy product vote is crude because it is crazy!
