😱 Vanna - Feel The Force (IT’S A TRAP!!!)
Matt Kohrs
February 22, 2024

Hey Goonies!

“How do I determine if Volatility is cheap or expensive?”

It’s a question that gets a lot of airtime these days, and rightly so. So what’s the answer?

Well, there are two main considerations for what drives volatility: 

  1. Human perception, in the form of expectations

  2. Actual demand, based on either algorithmic or fundamentally-driven trading

 

These factors, along with trading volume, are ultimately what drives both options and stock prices.

So as a responsible and informed trader, what can you do to equip yourself to navigate these powerful mechanics?

And one step further –  how can you know when a trend might just turn out to be a deadly trap for traders? 

 

This Friday, Brent Kochuba and the team at SpotGamma are hosting a FREE webinar geared to answer this question, and more:

  • How Vanna – The Second-Order, Volatility Greek – influences options trading, how Market Makers hedge their portfolios, PLUS Vanna’s influence in a specific case study from the red hot tech sector

You can register here, right now:

Vanna -- Feel The Force (IT'S A TRAP!!!)

 

Love You Forever,

Monster Moves May

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

  • S&P 500: +0.13%
  • Nasdaq 100: -0.38%
  • Russel 2000: -2.69%
  • Bitcoin: -1.41%

Last week, the market notched a new record high, but it definitely wasn’t smooth sailing. Stocks pushed higher early as the AI trade kept carrying momentum, with the Nasdaq and S&P hanging near record territory for most of the week. Then inflation data hit, yields climbed, and traders started getting nervous about oil again. A lot of that came from the latest Iran headlines after Trump publicly rejected Iran’s response to a proposed peace framework, which immediately pushed crude prices back higher and brought inflation fears right back into focus.

The biggest story was Tuesday’s CPI report, which came in hotter than expected and showed inflation heating back up to 3.8% year over year. Energy prices did a lot of the damage as gas prices surged alongside the Middle East tensions. Wednesday’s PPI report added more fuel to the inflation conversation, while Thursday’s retail sales data showed the consumer is still spending even with prices staying elevated. Earnings were a mixed bag, but AI-related names continued to dominate attention. Cisco impressed investors with stronger AI demand commentary, while Applied Materials helped keep semiconductor momentum alive. Overall, the market still wants to believe in the AI-led rally, but higher yields and rising oil prices are making things more uncomfortable.

Looking ahead to next week, it's a bit lighter on economic data, but there’s still plenty for traders to watch. The FOMC meeting minutes land Wednesday, followed by housing starts, building permits, and S&P Global flash PMI data on Thursday. Earnings season also keeps rolling with reports from Home Depot, Lowe’s, Target, TJX, Walmart, and Nvidia, which will probably end up being the biggest event of the week for the broader market. Investors will also keep one eye on any new Trump headlines tied to Iran or China after this week’s geopolitical tension pushed energy markets back into the spotlight. As always, stick to your trading plan and respect your risk. Godspeed.

Best,

Thicc Kohrs
