TRICKS OF THE TRADE

INSPIRED BY THIS LISTENER QUESTION:

QUESTION FROM TELNER6: WHAT ARE THE THREE STRATEGIES THAT YOU FEEL EACH ADVISOR SHOULD HAVE IN HIS BACK POCKET FOR WHEN CLIENTS ASK ABOUT OPTIONS?

OFFICE HOURS

COMMENT FROM NETTLES: THX FOR THIS SHOW. LOVE IT.
QUESTION FROM ED MARTIN: I ENJOY ALLOCATING APPROX. 10% OF MY CLIENTS PORTFOLIOS TO PRECIOUS METALS - PARTICULARLY GOLD. I FIND IT TO BE A USEFUL DIVERSIFICATION TOOL FOR LONG EQUITY PORTFOLIOS. YOU'VE RECOMMENDED USING SHORT PUTS AS AN ENTRY TOOL FOR EQUITIES IN THE PAST. CAN THIS SAME STRATEGY BE UTILIZED IN A COMMODITY ETF LIKE GLD? ARE THERE ANY CAVEATS OR PITFALLS I SHOULD WATCH OUT FOR? WOULD I BE BETTER OFF WRITING OPTIONS ON THE FUTURES?
QUESTION FROM AJ HERNANDEZ: ESG IS ALL THE RAGE IN THE INVESTING WORLD RIGHT NOW. HAS THIS HAD ANY SPILLOVER INTO OPTIONS YET? CAN I BUY ESG OPTIONS?
QUESTION FROM CONSTANTINE: WHY ARE THERE SO FEW OPTIONS BASED FUND MANAGERS OUT THERE TODAY?
QUESTION FROM ANGELO: I CAN TRADE COVERED CALLS IN MY CLIENTS RETIREMENT ACCOUNTS. CAN I ALSO TRADE CASH-SECURED PUTS TO INITIATE LONG EQUITY POSITIONS?

HOST: MARK LONGO, THE OPTIONS INSIDER MEDIA GROUP
CO-HOST: SEAN SMITH, MD OF DERIVATIVES LICENSING, FTSE RUSSELL
CME HOT SEAT GUEST: ADAM WEBB, FOUNDER OF MACROHEDGED

ON TODAY'S EPISODE, MARK, SEAN AND ADAM DISCUSS:

MOVERS AND SHAKERS FOR THE WEEK.
TOPICS FEATURED INCLUDE CRUDE, BRENT, EQUITIES, RATES AND LEAN HOGS.
WTI CRUDE OIL PRICES ARE WEAKENING AGAIN AS CONCERNS ABOUT THE CORONAVIRUS OUTBREAK COME BACK INTO THE SPOTLIGHT AND DOMINATE THE OVERALL MARKET SENTIMENT. SURPRISINGLY, PEOPLE ARE NOT WADING INTO HUGE DOWNSIDE PUT BETS IN WTI RIGHT NOW.

FUTURES OPTIONS FEEDBACK:
- COMMENT FROM KAMAR: SEEMS LIKE THE PEOPLE WHO'VE BEEN FADING WTI CALLS FOR MONTHS WERE ON THE RIGHT TRACK. THIS PRODUCT CAN'T EVEN CATCH A BID WHEN THE MIDDLE EAST IS IN FLAMES. NOW THIS VIRUS IS SQUEEZING OUT THE LAST OF THE DEMAND. SOLD TO YOU!
- QUESTION FROM JJL8: IS IT TIME FOR RECON YET?
- QUESTION FROM ELIAN: MORE VOLUME ON THE TAPE THIS WEEK FOR THE BITCOIN OPTIONS?
- QUESTION FROM ALLISON B.: HAVE YOU GUYS EVER DONE A STRADDLE RUN ON THE SHOW? MIGHT BE INTERESTING FOR CRUDE AND ES AND CORN. GREAT PROGRAM. I LISTEN EVERY WEEK.
- QUESTION FROM JACK ATTACK: DO IWM AND RUT OPTIONS ALWAYS TRADE AROUND THE SAME SKEW AND VOLATILITY? OR ARE THERE DIFFERENT CROWDS FOR THESE PRODUCTS?
