  • I liken the delivery to a sportscast: swift, to the point and energetic. So, if you’re not a morning person, I advise listening after you’ve had your coffee.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Options Boot Camp 397: Super-Sized VIX Extravaganza
Q: What are your thoughts on bullish risk reversals in VIX right now?
They can be a reasonable credit-worthy strategy if you are comfortable with bias toward downside protection through puts while still gaining upside exposure via calls, especially in a market where near-term volatility might remain elevated but not explode; the July options could be used to set up a net credit while maintaining some upside potential.
Options Boot Camp 398: The Perils of Trading While Traveling
Q: With weekly options becoming common, are monthly expirations still useful?
Monthly options remain valuable for wheel strategies and for traders who want tighter premium capture, though in many cases weeklies and dailies offer more flexibility; the best choice depends on the trader's objectives and risk tolerance.
Options Boot Camp 398: The Perils of Trading While Traveling
Q: What option strategy do you think every buy-and-hold investor should understand?
A succinct, practical answer is to start with selling cash-secured puts and using covered calls to build income, which aligns with Buffett's approach and provides a disciplined entry into options for buy-and-hold investors.
Wide World of Options: The Oxygen of Markets: Making Sense of Volatility
Q: What should attendees take away about hedging and managing risk as volatility shifts around events like elections?
Hedging with short-term options, iron condors, and other volatility-based strategies can help manage risk around events; the key is understanding how VIX futures curves and expected volatility influence pricing and product design.
Wide World of Options: The Oxygen of Markets: Making Sense of Volatility
Q: What novel strategies or product structures are being used to monetize volatility today?
Structured products and volatility-linked ETFs, including collars and spreads, are used by institutions and sometimes marketed to individuals; these provide higher coupons when volatility spikes and offer hedging or directional exposure depending on structure.
