LTCM was basically a bond Stat Arb shop…. Using leverage to enhance their returns.Let’s say we wanted to replicate a similar trading strategy of LTCM but using volatility as the underlying asset. The asset we are going to “trade” is the volatility spread between VIX and the GARCH (1,1) S&P 500 volatility. We are going to start this portfolio with $10mm and trading begins in January 2018 and ends March 31st 2021 using 5 to 1 leverage….Here are the rules:At the start of each month you will sell next month’s ( so in January you would sell a Feb maturity option) ATM S&P 500 straddle using VIX as the proxy for volatility, and hedge the delta position with ES futures DAILYThe ES futures prices will be estimated, and you will use a similar maturity to the option.If realized volatility exceeds VIX at the end of the day, you sell a 5% OTM call and buy a 5% OTM put on that day with the same maturity of the original structure.All options are held to maturityquestion : Name the best action movie from the 1980s and justify your reasoning for picking it

Directions:
This module we focused on communication. At times you might be asked to communicate with someone from a different country or from a different culture. As you’ve read about in your lessons this week, email communication can increase miscommunication, as can communicating with a person with different cultural norms. For your initial post this week, format your post as an email to a client (Mr. Hansen) located in a different country. You had requested documents from the client a month ago, and have only received 20% of what was requested. The documents that were produced are missing pages. You are displeased with the client’s lack of response and need to communicate that the documents need to be provided to the firm by the end of the module, with all pages intact. You should ensure that your email is formatted with proper formatting, grammar and spelling and that the communication will be clear to all readers, regardless of their background. You should use your readings and additional research this week to format and create your email.
