Webinar Description

Everyone seems to have an opinion on volatility these days, but most opinions are poorly researched or woefully misinformed. In this talk, you will see how $VIX itself can sometimes be used as a market indicator. More importantly, volatility derivatives (including ETFs, ETNs, and VIX futures and options) will be discussed. These ETFs, ETN5, and derivatives sometimes behave in a different way than one might expect, although they are performing as they were designed almost 100% of the time.We'll look at VXX, XIV, TVIX, and other major ones, and give you some insights as to what they can and cannot do, in terms of volatility protection. Also, it will be shown how the Volatility ETNs can affect the VIX futures markets--facts that might not be obvious to the casual trader, but which are actually very important to pricing behavior. Finally, the portfolio management technique (called "Volatility Capture") that our RIA actually trades for customers will be shown, as implementation of some of these concepts.
