Looking at the implied volatility of the market (after the selloff) are you aware that:

SPY’s implied volatility vs. 30-day realized has ramped back up to a +31% PREMIUM?
Utilities (XLU) implied volatility vs. 30-day realized has ripped to a +65% PREMIUM?
Gold’s (GLD) implied volatility vs. 30-day realized sold off to a -15% DISCOUNT?

That’s right, the beauty of having asymmetry in your long/short portfolio is that not everything is signaling the same thing at the same time.
