jeremy siegel with wharton early on predicts 5% to 15% gains for stocks in 2019.ime now for options insight. joining me today is andrew scott. thank you for taking the time, of course. let's talk volatility because in 2017 there was none really. lots of volatility as if it was raising rates. this year, you would think it was not there, but we have a chart from you that suggests there is volatility. andrew: yes. if we bring up the chart, volatility over the last two years. we have three very distinct periods. we think about events. there is a tendency to focus on a higher volatility regime, the real extremity of events, but the reality is i would argue 2017 was the event. we had a naturally low volatility. 2018 we picked up something closer to normality. 2019 as you can see from the chart now, we got -- we have gone up a little bit again. consistent with this stage of the economic cycle. abigail: so you are talking about the economic cycle as well as in 2017, saying that was the end of no volatility. but did not have anything to do with the president trump tax plan
