If you thought stocks were about to have a big drop and wanted to be long vol, which one would u choose-yes, I know the diff betwixt these 2…but just on a cost risk basis, I’d buy the SQQQ—it went to $31 in March—so it does have some scope. VXX premiums are insane–lots of 2 day calls + 6/26 calls bought today at high prices

The $37.June 26th 50 VXX call option is $312 a copy—the VXX closed at $37
