😱 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

Goodbye November, Hello December || Goonie Newsletter
Goonie Newsletter (December 1st - 5th)

Goodbye November, Hello December

Key Weekly Performance Stats:

  • S&P 500: +3.73
  • Nasdaq 100: +4.93% 
  • Russel 2000: +5.14%
  • Bitcoin: +6.86%

Stocks drifted higher during the shortened Thanksgiving week, with momentum carrying over from the month-long rally powered by expectations of a December rate cut. Trading volume was light, but the S&P 500 and Nasdaq still managed modest gains as investors leaned into tech strength while the Dow moved more cautiously. With markets closed on Thursday for the holiday and operating a half-day on Friday, the tone stayed upbeat even without fresh catalysts.

Economic data was almost nonexistent because several agencies are still catching up from earlier reporting delays, leaving traders without the usual stream of releases like inflation or income numbers. That absence kept the focus on sentiment instead of fundamentals, and the market didn’t seem to mind. Equities held their ground, volatility stayed contained, and the bullish bias that’s defined November stayed intact.

Looking to next week, the calendar should start normalizing as delayed reports are expected to flow again, potentially including key inflation and spending updates plus a fresh wave of early Q4 earnings. That mix of data and corporate results will matter far more than anything we got this week, and it’ll give traders a clearer read on whether November’s strength can carry into December — or if caution starts to creep back in. As always, stick to your trading and respect your risk. Godspeed.

Best,

Thicc Kohrs
