#21. Why the VIX is useless.
In this episode, Trishul teaches Aaron what it means when the VIX is over 30, and things get a little wonky explaining all the technical math behind stock market volatility. They appropriately compare options to insurance and gambling. And they discuss the Black-Scholes pricing model and how market forces determine implied volatility. In the end, they discuss how understanding the VIX can be a useful tool, but trying to rely on it for investment predictions can be just as dangerous as any other future prediction methodology.
