By:Ryan Gaynor
Tom Sosnoff and Victor Jones debate the moral implications of investing in defense stocks like Lockheed Martin (LMT) and Raytheon, weighing personal ethics against financial opportunities. Tom emphasized investing principles over personal biases, while Victor explored broader implications of consumer behavior on politics and market dynamics. They concluded with a brief analysis of recent bond movements and their potential economic influence.
In this week’s Market Measures, hosts Tom Sosnoff and Tony Battista dive into the dynamics of implied volatility (IV), exploring its behavior during periods of market uncertainty. They discuss how IV spikes during high uncertainty and the average time it takes for IV to shrink back down, typically two to three 45-day cycles. The study reveals that the higher the IV spike, the faster it contracts. They also compare historical volatility data, highlighting significant highs and lows. The discussion includes insight into market movements and provides valuable context for understanding volatility in trading strategies.
Hosts Tom Sosnoff and Tony Battista present a financial study on zero DTE (days to expiration) trading strategies. The results show success in selling puts for SPX despite market movements, while selling calls led to losses. They suggest a jade lizard strategy (selling puts and limited call spreads) offers the best combination of profitability and risk management.
