I'm not "happy" that the public markets in general and tech in particular are getting smashed and experiencing gut-wrenching volatility (just look at the VIX today), but it's necessary education for a generation of young folks who know of nothing other than "up-and-to-the-right"

The volatility term structure is now upward sloping reflecting expectations of higher volatility in the next 3-4 months.

Equity markets are up, Volatility is down but rates keep going up. Though the Fed and some analysts are playing down inflation, rates will show the way, equities will decline and Volatility will jump.

The significant jump of over 14% in the level of $VIX to 39 means trouble for financial markets in the coming days!

It’s remarkable to see that despite the recent political turmoil in Israel, the local volatility index (VTA35) has hardly budged. Conclusion: the economy is more powerful than politics! #VIX

Two events that happened 50 years ago have shaped the modern financial markets we have today. An article (HEBREW) I co-authored with Menachem Brenner about the impact of the CBOE and Black & Scholes on our world today: iglob.es/?1001459426

Many are saying that today’s $VIX levels only happened twice in history - during the 2008 financial crisis, and the 2020 COVID. However - the largest jump was during the Crash of October 87. The implied increase to over 100, and the indexes fell 22%; only it was at pre-VIX time…

Re: Carry Trade and Leverage They never learn from history. This happened several times before, notably LTCM in 1998.

In Hebrew, so hopefully Google Translate will help! Shaul Amsterdamski (Shaul Amsterdamski 🤟🫶) in כלכליסט | Calcalist today writes about the history of the $VIX and its effect on today’s markets (and Israel specifically): calcalist.co.il/magazine/artic…

Undoubtedly, Trump is the darling of the #VIX traders! No previous president had such an impact on the VIX in such a short time…
