Hedgeye NexGen | Episode 30 | The Volatility of Bubbles

·1 hr 8 min·2 clips

If you bought that so-called dip, you lost your money on the way down the first time and you lost it again on the way down the second time.

A Hedgeye analyst breaks down market volatility into accessible concepts using gold as the primary example, covering implied vs realized volatility, the VIX, distribution of returns, and why asset returns are not normally distributed. The episode uses vivid analogies (kiddie pool, rubber band, robot on train tracks) to explain why high-volatility environments are dangerous for investors who buy dips or hold through drawdowns.
