Goldman's equities desk minting $4.3B on tariff-whipped vol is straight out of the '99 playbook, desks feasted on Y2K froth before the Nasdaq gut-punch. 

With Trump's XX% levies spiking VIX to XX and inflating input costs across S&P earners, this surge screams short-dated alpha for prop traders, but portends a brutal beta unwind for the real economy. 

Position accordingly: convexity over convexity bets.
