A real estate “hurricane” in 2024?

Why is real estate titan predicting a “Category 5” hurricane? Barry Sternlicht, co-founder, CEO and chairman of Starwood Capital Group, is nervous about the state of play in commercial and residential property. High interest rates are driving prices lower and concerns over a potential default in the commercial real estate sector remain prevalent. To understand all the factors pushing real estate investors toward default, and to see if there’s a viable trade amid the chaos, watch Frank Kaberna’s analysis above. 

Strangles vs. iron condors. Which is more profitable?

Iron condors and strangles are similar options strategies, but there are differences in risk and reward. Iron condors require less money, are defined risk, and require less management … so where’s the catch? If you’re struggling to choose between an iron condor or a strangle as your go-to delta-neutral trade, our study provides some much-needed clarity.

Stocks are up … if you ignore the bottom 90%

When traditional financial media outlets say “stocks are up," they may be forgetting to mention that Amazon (AMZ), Apple (AAPL), Alphabet (GOOGL), Meta (META), Nvidia (NVDA) and Tesla (TSLA) are soaring while the rest of equities are up a measly 4%. 

Hyper-concentration of capital isn’t new, though. Tom Sosnoff has been dealing with hyper-concentration in his company's client bases for decades. Where is the opportunity in this hyper concentration (hint, hint, the pot-odds are not in Nvidia’s favor)? This week on Truth or Skepticism explores how fragile 2023’s upswing really is.
