Week in Volatility
This week saw a lot of action - a strong rise in VIX and subsequent decline. VXX had a draw-up of 20% ~log(34.01/27.73) with some large intraday volatility. Although this draw-up seems significant, I think it is a good time to remember that average draw-up for SPVIXSTR (the index that underlies VXX) for the last 5 years is 49% !, and that most of 2008 the index was making new highs.
