When do you expect this volatility to start?
For two straight months we have had essentially the lowest realized vol we have seen in a long time, and some of the lowest that has ever happened in the history of the market. Yesterday and today fit our recent pattern well, so there is no current indication of any meaningful movement of any kind. The VIX is 30% higher than it should be, so those traders also think large movement is coming, but they have been dead wrong for so long it is hard to give any predictive power to them.
