We are back with  a quick recap from the second day of the International Futures Industry Conference.  Yesterday, we predicted FIA Boca was shaping up to be a "bifurcated" conference; with one track focused on tech topics like crypto and cloud computing and another track focused on geopolitics and the war in Ukraine. Spoiler alert: We were right! 

This quick recap is the first of three Colin and Sean are doing from their road trip to the International Futures Industry Conference.A month ago, it looked like the hot topics at FIA Boca would be crypto, the cloud and all things technology. But as is often the case, big news has barged its way into the conversations at Boca and now the  event is poised to be bifurcated (one of Sean's favorite market terms). Sure, there's the plenty of talk about technology ... but perhaps even more about how the industry can grapple with the impact war and geopolitics are having -- and will continue to have -- on markets.Eventus Systems Shine a Light on Your Trading

Volatility Views 105: Happy Anniversary, VIX! Volatility Review: VIX Futures turns 10 years old! VIX spot products - when could we see them? Russell VIX and metals - gold volatility. Volatility Voicemail: Question from Burt Skerton - Hello Options Insider! I have been listening to your podcast for quite a while, and have been trading successfully as a result of the valuable information that you have provided, so for that I thank you. I am confused however about a situation I am seeing. I have a position in the VIX, where I bought the Nov 15 put for $0.80, with the underlying at the time of purchase listed at around 1,650. Today the underlying has dropped to around 1,300+, but the option is only trading around $1.30. It seems that the option should be worth more than that because it has about $2 of intrinsic value. So in theory, could someone with a large account just buy a few contracts, exercise them immediately, and sell the underlying on the open market for a huge profit? Thanks for clearing this up for me, keep on rocking! Question from Brighton Capital - Very informative show with Jarrod Woodyard yesterday, do you have a similar post-FIA/Boca discussion in the works? Question from @vikingwrath - The market is iffy here. What are your thoughts on UVXY in the short term?   Crystal Ball: USDA quarterly grain stock report coming out soon for ags. Interesting vol Products: a lot of vol in German renewables.
