After months of warning that volatility was being ignored, Dr. VIX finally gets a little revenge.

With the Nasdaq suffering its worst selloff of the year, VIX surging back toward the 20 handle, and volatility returning to the market, Mark Longo and Russell Rhoads break down what sparked the move and whether this is just another dip-buying opportunity or the beginning of a larger shift in sentiment.

The hosts explore the impact of stronger-than-expected jobs data, shifting interest rate expectations, rising concerns about massive AI infrastructure spending, and why companies may soon have less cash available for stock buybacks. They also examine what these developments could mean for equity valuations and volatility traders heading into the summer months.

In this episode:

  • VIX surges toward the 20 level
  • Nasdaq suffers its worst decline of the year
  • Is the AI spending boom becoming a problem?
  • Why buybacks may be slowing down
  • VIX futures and volatility term structure analysis
  • Unusual activity in VIX options
  • UVIX, UVXY and VXX trading activity
  • Russell's Weekly Rundown
  • Crystal Ball predictions for next week

Is this finally the comeback Dr. VIX has been waiting for, or will the bulls once again ride to the rescue?
