On this episode of Volatility Views, we break down the volatility products in both the domestic and international markets this week including VSTOXX, VIX, VIX, VXX, VVIX, UVXY, SVIX, UVIX.  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. This year's US election could have more impact on Europe and European equities (and therefore VSTOXX) than previous ones due to the implications for Ukraine funding.  Plus, we predict where VSTOXX and VIX will be next week in our popular crystal ball segment.
