I was "fortunate" to read your book three weeks ago and have avoided 90% of the downside thanks to some good hedges. Only yesterday I discovered RealVision so what a pleasure to come across this video! I'll try to watch the others before markets open tomorrow. Whilst I found your book great, I am finding it quite difficult to decide when to monetise hedges and what to roll them to... I am not a pro, so have limitations! I've stuck to rolling to longer maturities/lower strikes, and have now moved to buying put butterflies at various maturities as I perceived vol to be high. I would love to have feedback on some better active hedge management ideas you might have for me. I think I'll try selling VIX call spreads / buying SPX put spreads, I can see the rationale in that. Great video, looking forward to more Hari! Mel

Who can resist the temptation to correct an MIT mathematician? The square root of 252 is closer to 16 not 14. Great interview !

Hari is great to listen to. Here he is speaking about a subject I think I know some things about. But I always learn something valuable and often impactful/actionable from his point of view: here his take on vol spread implied vs realized and relating it to Market Makers positioning and market action is interesting. Watching his interview on March 16, after the week of March 9-13 crazy realized: his trade idea would not have worked at all, as VIX continued to climb up but spot kept on whipsawing... . Still it was a rational idea. Worth to look at it again

Large market maker names. Hari held off providing names. Can RV community help? Chicago one: Citadel NY ones: Susquehana,... whatelse?

Hari is smartest and funniest kid in the class. I cant say enough about how he speaks. More importantly, takes very complicated and technical market structure and ideas and layers in simple but complex mathematics and physics concepts into everyday language. I am telling you, That is easy to do. That is a deep understanding of the ALL the subjects. It is a gift. Hari has it. Simple said, I could listen to Hari talk all the time. I hope he does more. He is really got a great sense of humor too. Seriously in his previously segment, "Scaremongering, its my brand, its what I do". That is brilliant and funny. Great work Hari. It is such a joy. I hope you do more. Real Vision and it subscribers are LUCKY, you take the time to share your thoughts.

Mr Hari, congrats on your work both as a fund manager as well as with your book. When can we expect your second work? The put ratios discussed on Second Leg Down provided us with a considerable relief to think after the recent (and ongoing) sell-off. Of course, I had to justify the structure on our books for about 6 months, but now the desk is thankful. Luiz

Thanks Hari! This is really good. Is there any indicators you can suggest to watch for potential exhaustion of these technical selling by market makers?

Hari, I really enjoy your videos. The subjects you discuss are areas of interest for me. Those subjects are usually difficult to find meaningful information on too. I hope we continue to see you and have access to your perspective. Regards, Nic

I was hoping for follow-up on HYG after your interview last summer. Especially since it's made a large move in the previous 2 weeks.

That was an education. Thank you! Fantastic.

This was incredible; no holding back in terms of technicality, no dumbing down, highly informative. From what I gather, there are 2 components in play: whether vol will contract or stay bid, and where the market is heading. Both may or may not be connected. Hari’s strategy of short call, short vol is banking on a slow grind down instead of sharp selloffs. Let’s see how it plays out.

Fantastic insight again understanding the mechanics of the institutions. seems counter intuitive - hedging actually increases the volatility and the downside risk. Is hedging broken? or pain just for the counter-party who is "less hedged"?

after the fact its easy to find causes, I want good predictions

If your timing is good you don’t need over engineering

Great stuff. It's so important to understand market mechanics so as to not having to ask "what are investors thinking?" all the time that other factors are at the wheel more predominantly. That way, you know what to look at for inflection points.

Again Hari, thanks for your level of thought and clarity of language

Fantastic look into volatility market. Would love to see Mike Green interview Hari. Two specialists in this esoteric space!

Could it be possible to release the videos earlier ???
