Tom Sosnoff, the co-founder of Thinkorswim and Tastytrade, is a longtime advocate of options trading. One feature of options is they allow you to trade costly underlying securities with a fraction of the money. Sosnoff says an options trader can get that same exposure for as little as $250. However, Sosnoff prefers a riskier trade that he says is more capital-efficient — one he considers the simplest option strategy with the highest probability of profit. The value of a car — or an option's underlying security, like a stock — could, in theory, go to zero, leaving the investor holding the bag.

Out-of-sync U.S. stocks hide market risks

Investors expect stocks to move increasingly out of sync as shown by the Cboe 3-Month Implied Correlation Index (.COR3M), which measures the 3-month expected average correlation across the top 50 value-weighted S&P 500 stocks. The last time 3-month implied correlation got this low was in early 2018, just before the February 2018 urge in market volatility dubbed 'Volmageddon.' Much of today's low stock market correlation has to do with the gulf in performance between a handful of mega caps driving the benchmark index higher and the rest of the market. "You have this view in the market that this is a stock picker's market because correlation is low," EAB Investment Group's Holzer said. "Because correlations are so low, index options have gotten incredibly cheap," said Daniel Kirsch, head of options at Piper Sandler said.

Share Share Article via Facebook Share Article via Twitter Share Article via LinkedIn Share Article via EmailOptions Action: Why the VIX is trending lower despite perceived market volatilityKris Sidial, Co-Chief Investment Officer at Ambrus, joins CNBC’s Melissa Lee and the Options Action traders to discuss real and perceived volatility and how that is impacting the VIX.

Universa Investments, a "black swan" hedge fund specializing in market shocks, sensationalized this approach after it made headlines in the first quarter of 2020 for a 4,144% return when the stock market plunged. So what we do for investors is our fund serves as protection against that sort of exogenous event, that sort of crash," Sidial said. In short, it's a bet against the odds in exchange for lofty returns, or what's known as convex payouts. However, if there's a market crash, the volatility on the VIX generally outperforms more than any other underlying securities in the US equities market, he noted. For example,Cambria Tail Risk ETF (TAIL) was up 27% from mid-feb to mid-march 2020 during the stock market crash brought about by the pandemic.
