Idea for VIX:
- The Short Volatility Bubble will pop.
- Transmutation of Risk cannot make Volatility disappear, only hide it.
- There is an estimated $2+ trillion global short stock market volatility bubble.
- Explicit Short Vol: $60 bn (pension overwriting, VIX, vol selling funds)
- Implicit Short Vol: $1.4 tn (Risk Parity, Var Control, Risk Premia, CTAs)
- Share buybacks: $3.8 tn since 2009. (1)
When the world is short, go long.
