    Good point about currency volatility. Seems volatility is complacent in many areas these days. Seems much more likely that risk is being mispriced in multiple market areas.

    Mistakes and miscalculations abound...complacency simply masks their detection....it's like everyone's stoned on Hopium. The patient Bear Investor (vs. Trader) will be rewarded as everyone's psuedo-good fortune evaporates into thin air. Loaded up on TVIX & SPXU here
