OUR AUDIENCE IS MIXED ON SVIX

COMMENT FROM ELLEN: I think the new SVIX product will be vaporware. I have no idea why it's getting so much ink.
COMMENT FROM JVIZ: No way this new $XIV thing gets approved. These guys just want attention.
QUESTION FROM IAN MADDEN: Do you really think this new inverse volatility product has a chance of becoming a reality?
QUESTION FROM VINTER: How can a startup have a chance where barclays failed? How can they possibly have the capital to bankroll another market meltdown when barclays couldn't weather the storm?
COMMENT FROM JAIDEN: Can't wait for the new XIV to hit my trading screens. I've missed fading all that juicy volatility.
COMMENT FROM CHRISTIAN GARCIA: Put me down for a ten lot when $SVIX starts trading. Long-term call obviously.
