Vol twitter is fantastic because there is so much drama and noise and fury over which pet theory is right, and then you look up the 10y returns of the biggest, noisiest accounts and the only appropriate response is “....eh”

So for an individual trader like myself, are you saying I’m wasting my time following vol twit and trying to figure out vol trading? What’s the takeaway for most of us who are not Benn E.?
I guess I'd say two things, 1. There is a huge amount of bullshit and marketing to pick through to get the good stuff 2. On net it's probably better for retail traders to just stay away from options unless you plan to be semi-professional

Agree completely on #1. To your OP, though, the last 10y have been unusually strong for indices. But there have been bumps/big drawdowns that good vol mgrs should have taken advantage of to improve a portfolio.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
