    Excellent work Tim.
    I recommend these videos to everyone.

    How about something on bond purchase "sterilisation"?

    Another great video Tim.
    Whilst I am sure you do not want to over complicate the presentation of videos, you could consider using an Interactive Whiteboard to add greater polish. As a primary teacher I use a Promethean board in class (they are a remarkable resource).
    With the VIX video for example, you could have shown the CBOE webpage and a graph to show how the index has changed over time. This will not of course hugely assist the viewers understanding of how VIX operates but it might add an additional layer of professionalism to these excellent presentations.
    Keep up the good work.
