About this listen
In this episode, Mark Longo and Dan Passarelli take a nostalgic trip back to the 80s to become the Masters of the Volatility Universe. Whether you're a "Prince Adam" of the markets or just starting your basic training, this episode is a comprehensive refresher on the most important force in options pricing: Volatility.
The Drill Instructors break down:
-
Volatility as the Speedometer: Why direction matters less than velocity when measuring vol.
-
Realized vs. Historical Volatility: Understanding the concrete, backward-looking data of price swings.
-
Implied Volatility (IV): Why Mark calls it the "Fudge Factor" of the options market and how it acts as a forward-looking forecast.
-
The Volatility Risk Premium (VRP): Why options are often "overpriced" and how premium sellers harvest that edge.
-
Supply and Demand: Dan's take on why IV is often more about market noise than actual future predictions.
-
2026 VIX Prognostications: Where will the "Fear Gauge" end the year? Dan puts his official number on the record.
