    Wow, what a gem. Got more than I expected, and I had a high expectations, amazing. This guy is not just owning the options portion, he can discuss macro as well, up there with the few only that understand macro. Good questions as well, thank you for doing this interview.

      Did you understand the bit where tried to explain his reason for being long value? Like what I got was that retail bid up option prices so the dealers took the short side at which point to hedge their short vol position they went long vol in the indices and value. But apparently this created an oversupply of IV in the indices and value and crushed iv? Like wouldn’t the demand from the dealers trying to hedge bring about a shortage of IV?

      Cem (@jam_croissant
      ) & Benn Eifert (@bennpeifert) are probably the best experts to get this info from! We recommend following them on Twitter (handles above), they're super active and usually answer any & all questions. Cem also did another really great pod with Meb Faber that you can listen to here: mebfaber.com/2020/09/30/episode-252-cem-karsan-aegea-capital-30-day-vol-tends-to-be-overbid-and-you-have-extended-supply-in-the-back-of-the-curve-historically/. May be of some help to you as well.

      He's actually saying "fixed strike vol". I wouldn't worry about that part as a retail noob. The "Market Maker Business Models" and "Momentum vs value" chapters would be the most helpful for someone just starting (although Cem is really more about advanced topics overall).

    This could be 100x better, if you wouldn't literally constantly interrupt your guest, especially in such key speeches where he feels comfortable to fully unleash his chain of thoughts. Just let the man speak freely, that shouldn't be difficult

    Sorry, but I'm not sure whom your target audience is. You are asking him about simple greek definitions then talk about ES/SPX vol surface term structure and order flow. In my humble opinion, one should either target simple and basic concepts or talk about vol surface dynamics/strategies that are aimed to take advantage of them. Anyway, I appreciate the effort.
