Beyond the Buy-Write: Option Strategies of the Pros
Saturday, September 15 • 8:15 am - 9:00 am
Join this panel of CNBC contributors, Michael Khouw, Scott Nations, and Brian Stutland, as they dissect current options trading techniques. Get an empirical look at the performance of common options strategies including buy-writes, put writes, and collars. These top industry experts will give you a look under the cover and reveal some of the fundamental drivers of asset volatility and whether volatility assumptions for single-stocks (and other assets) are correctly priced for leveraged, directional bets. Learn some tricks to simplify volatility, so you can calculate the complex concepts of volatility on the value of an option or how to turn volatility into an option price on the back of a cocktail napkin (or at least with little more than a simple pocket calculator). Success in options is essentially a simple math game. There are certain phenomena in the option world that are robust, meaning they always exist, that a trader can take advantage of. Relative erosion in option prices by time to expiration is one example. Skew is another. Whether you are a beginner or veteran options trader, these top trading pros with years of trading experience show you how they use these things to make money in the options world. You don't want to miss it!

I look forward to meeting you in Las Vegas.

Sincerely,
Brian Stutland

Is the KCJ Foreshadowing a 2008 Repeat?

The CBOE Correlation Index (KCJ) is close to the lowest level we have seen since it was first listed in 2007. The KCJ measures the implied movement of the S&P 500 components options, compared to the implied movement of the S&P 500 index options. Simply put, the higher the number, the more likely all stocks are going to move together. Conversely, a low number will be characterized by sector rotation, and flat markets; one sector moves higher, another moves lower.  (Source: Access Hollywood) Correlation, for lack of a better term, is correlated with volatility. Not surprisingly, 30-day S&P 500 historical volatility is near the low level of 6.5%. Currently at 33.5, KCJ is sitting close to rock bottom, lower than where it was in 2007, (but not lower than where Lindsay Lohan was in 2007).  So far this year, the market has been able to grind higher, characterized by leadership in FANG(Facebook Apple/Amazon, Netflix, Google) and sector rotation.

The Week in Review

One of the questions I get most from clients is how to generate yield when the Fed is on hold with rates at zero. For a while many defensive clients were content receiving their 3% annual yield from Treasury bonds, but the Fed’s most recent meeting minutes shows that the Fed’s pace of bond buying may soon slow. While I do not think tapering is likely before year end (unless economic data accelerates significantly) the bond market is forward looking and already beginning to price tapering in. Smaller Fed purchases of Treasury bonds will mean that bond yields go up and bond prices go down. Bonds have been in a multi-year bull market, and we may now be on the cusp of a multi-year bear market. The most important indicator to watch is the 10-year yield, which cracked the 2.10% level this week for the first time in a year. If we continue to hold above 2.05% in June, the top is likely in for bonds and borrowing rates will be on the rise for everyone, including the US Treasury. So, how am ...
