    I agree. Selling correlation is a graveyard style trade. You spend have to short extra index vol to avoid bleeding and then spend all your time trying to justify your gap risk. And when sht hits the fan, your book explodes in size.

  10. i love in that article.. you posted..

    "Well, dispersion
    sounds more cryptic, and hence it’s easier to impress
    people with it. Period. And it’s Greek in origin, making
    you sound sophisticated."

    i like how frank this guy is in this paper.. talking of wet dreams and such ..
