VOLATILITY VOICEMAIL

Question from Elliot - Looks like BTC is getting very volatile again. What are you seeing out there right now?\

Question from GLN09 - Is there a bitcoin vix?

Question from Waterson - Can you explain more about the price dragging method in SPIKES. How exactly does that prevent what happened to the VIX from happening in spikes? Great show guys.

Comment from Pyon - ASo the judge ruled that CBOE didn't manipulate their product but they created a product that was susceptible to manipulation. Do you think this is the end of the lawsuits? In some way isn't that outcome even worse since they never fixed this thing until the lawyers came knocking? Just look at all the steps that SPIKES takes to avoid these same types of problems. Is it out of the question to expect CBOE to have taken similar steps or were they too afraid of hurting their golden goose product?

The hilarious story of /u/1R0NYMAN and Robin Hood.

SirSoliloquy - What's hilarious is that, with the way robinhood is set up, /u/1R0NYMAN was somehow able to cash out $10,000 of robinhood's money before everything disappeared. So robinhood lost hundreds of thousands, but /u/1RONYMAN gained thousands

TheRealOneTwo - Basically Robin hood screwed up. They were giving people leverage without margin. Basically saying you are good for $200k in trades though you only had $1k in the account. No agreement for a loan (margin). Trader was shortboxing and lost. The actual risk to him was nothing since he did not agree to a loan (will be determined by the SEC). Robin hood is on the hook for his losses. RH has since blocked shortboxing.

FUTURES OPTIONS FEEDBACK

Question from SHUTDL - Nick still scalping his gold gamma? Question from Tom D. - What is the biggest stumbling block for an equity option guy looking to dip his toes into the massive futures options pool? I'll probably start with E-mini options. Question from Trilo47W - I have to admit that your show is luring me to the "dark side" of futures options. I'm thinking about diving into corn. Good choice?

Question from Elle SW - What is the date for the Russell 2000 reconstitution to take effect? Question from AllenTown - If you had to bet on the next big crypto derivatives what would it be?
