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

Bulls Dominate The Day

Hey,

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

  • S&P 500: -0.31%
  • Nasdaq 100: -0.38% 
  • Russel 2000: +0.55%
  • Bitcoin: +8.84%
Last week, markets were choppy as escalating trade tensions under President Trump weighed on sentiment. On July 7, fresh tariff threats triggered a broad sell-off, with the S&P 500 dropping 0.8%, the Dow falling 0.9%, and the Nasdaq slipping 0.9%. Midweek brought a brief rebound—on July 9, the S&P 500 and Nasdaq hit new record highs. The tech sector showed specific strength. The S&P closed up 0.27%, but those gains didn’t hold. By Friday, the S&P ended the week down 0.38% as Trump floated a 35% tariff on Canadian imports, which rattled international markets and manufacturing stocks.
 
On the economic front, mixed signals and policy uncertainty dominated. June saw a federal budget surplus, partly thanks to higher tariff revenues, while consumer credit rose, suggesting modest 0.5% spending growth despite cooling inflation. Fed minutes showed ongoing debate around rate paths, and small business optimism ticked up slightly. However, global concerns—like softening inflation in China and fears of broader trade slowdowns—kept traders on edge.
 
Looking ahead, all eyes turn to Q2 earnings season and a packed economic calendar. June’s CPI and core CPI reports (out July 15) will be key for inflation trends and Fed policy expectations. Retail sales and industrial production numbers are also on deck. While markets may stay volatile due to trade headlines, solid U.S. GDP growth around 3% could help buoy stocks—if inflation continues to ease. Still, tariff risks remain a wild card. As always, respect your risk and stick to your trading plan. Godspeed.
 
Best,

Thicc Kohrs
