Vol of vol- aka VVIX -is hitting some rarefied territory right now. What does this mean for the volatility market going forward? Has Russell Rhoads uncovered the ultra-rare triple stupid trade in VIX options this week? How is Russell Rhoads' VIX vs. VSTOXX trade working out? Is it time for him to flip the spread? How is the election creating opportunities with October and November IV being bid? Will be particularly interesting if RV falls over the summer months.
