EP 0023 Chris Kamery Special Guest Racing Driver
This week, we welcomed Chris Kamery to the podcast to continue our discussion on Autocross this month. Chris is an avid and accomplished driver mostly in the upstate New York and neighboring areas. We cover a wide range of topics related to start racing in autocross and what to do and what not to do. We also attempt to drag him into the dark side of endurance racing. We hope to see him out at the track soon.
Topics covered included:
- Car requirements and preferences
- Track design and review
- Typical struggles of new and first time drivers at an autocross event
- Several places to look for local autocross and other driving events
We may even have been helpful again this week. We cannot promise this to continue, lol.

Volatility Views 24: Precious Metals Volatility Explosion
Volatility Review: The markets are turning green after a recent sea of red. A huge sell-off in gold and silver -- the story here is that people are rolling out of gold and precious metals and keeping funds in cash to be in a position to buy the market when it reaches the bottom. VIX review -- volatility certainly got scary for a little while. Euro vol review.
Mailbag:
- "I've been listening to the show for some time and have become intrigued by the concept of VolContracts. I think I have a decent handle on the differences between implied versus realized volatility and I'm ready to take the next step. But that's where I'm stuck. How do I trade VolContracts? I don't see them promoted or even mentioned by any brokerage firms. If I call or email my broker (Interactive Brokers), are they even going to know what I'm talking about? Do you have any brokers that you'd recommend for their expertise with VolContracts? Also, since they are listed by the CME and track realized vol of Euro futures, I assume that I will need a futures account to trade them. Lastly, are these listed on Globex so I can trade them electronically or do I need to put an order into a pit?"
- "Bob Krause advocated the use of volatility cones on a recent show, and I know Don has discussed them in the past as well. However, Mark made an excellent point in a recent episode that, in this environment, vol cones may not be the best barometer for where you should work your orders. It got me wondering if maybe there were certain market environments where vol cones were extremely useful, and other times, such as the current environment, when waiting for mean reversion is the quickest way to blowing out. Long Term Capital immediately comes to mind. I'm wondering what you guys think on this issue. I think I know where Mark stands, but I wonder where Don falls on this since I know he is an ardent fan of vol cones."
Crystal Ball: Metal vols -- have we just witnessed the bottom of gold and silver? Mark Sebastian predicts VIX to hit 50 in the next three weeks. We are halfway through the Oct VolContract, and as of Thursday the contract settled at 15.87 -- you would need 18 volatility on the Euro, going forward, to justify that price.
