Volatility Views 34: A Break from the Insanity Volatility Review: This was an intriguing week for volatility action. Strange week in the world of VIX, with it finally returning to "normal." The novel concept of being fully insured. The seasonality of VIX--general uptrend in market plus professionals taking money off the table equals a perfect storm in VIX.

January Euro VolContract is fairly new, but volatility is forecasted to be lower going out. Click here to access the Salomon Center that Prof. Figlewski spoke about in Volatility Viewpoint.
