Insteresting comment from Jason Ruspini.
Jason, the high-end event derivative traders at BetFair (and probably at TradeSports and Betdaq) do benefit from volatility —-they would trade thousands of times on one prediction market, back and forth, taking advantage of small price moves. Any related thought about that, with respect to your comment at Potfolio?
