Investing right now means choosing between Paul Tudor Jones calling for a 30 to 35% market correction and Tom Lee targeting new highs. Volatility trading gives you a framework that cuts through both narratives and right now the vol futures are not agreeing with Jones.
The full vol curve is in contango across every cycle, the VIX is sub-17, and equities are at all-time highs while oil sits elevated and geopolitical risk hasn't gone anywhere. This episode of Options Math Check breaks down the SPX probability data for both a 30% rally and a 30% selloff, shows why backwardation is the real warning signal to watch, and explains exactly what would need to happen for Jones to be right.
