In this week’s segment of Hear Me Out, Victor Jones and Tom Sosnoff get into a heated debate over Elon Musk's recent trip to China. They discuss the trip's implications for Tesla and the broader EV market, underlining the strategic cooperation between Tesla and China for mutual EV sector benefits.
Jones and Sosnoff then discuss the prices of the Tesla Model 3 and how much it costs in other countries such as Singapore.
Sosnoff ends the conversation with skepticism towards traditional volatility analysis and discusses global economic strategies and market implications stemming from Tesla's maneuvers in China.
In this week's Options Jive Tom Sosnoff and Tony Battista analyze volatility in options trading, specifically comparing straddles and strangles.
They explain that straddles tend to generate higher volatility and more significant P&L changes due to larger deltas and gammas, indicating a higher risk but potentially higher rewards.
The analysis included strategies around when to exit positions (21 days to expiration for straddles, with an even earlier exit at 14 days suggested for better handling of volatility). Sosnoff ends the episode talking about the importance of managing volatility in aggressive trading strategies.
In this exciting episode of Market Measure Tom Sosnoff and Tony Battista walk viewers through a 19-year study highlighting strategic decisions in trading.
The study includes a comparison of the risk and return of selling short puts to holding long stock. Sosnoff and Battista use data to suggest selling 325 delta puts as most effective despite higher potential losses in extreme market conditions. They end the conversation telling traders the importance of increasing deltas rather than contract numbers to manage risk when scaling positions.
