Not a BEAR!
• We are NOT attempting to position markets as BEARISH! Or create a bearish case!

appreciating future risks on both BULLISH and BEARISH SIDES of the market!

Volatility = Risk
• Options markets can be thought of as putting a price tag on risk.
• Pricing in markets is determined via market participants.
• Ultimately, options pricing comes down to supply and demand.

• High risk equates to HIGHER options pricing


• Lower risk equates to LOWER options pricing.

• What has risk (volatility) been lately in markets?


© Copyright 2019 TheoTrade, LLC. All Rights Reserved

The Options Conundrum


• Options Markets over the past few years have done a POOR job of handicapping
(pricing) risk in the future.

• To be specific, option volatility has been incredibly low and yet we have sustained
some of the single greatest moves ever recorded in the history of markets.

• You want to gain edge in markets? well here it is…

Positioning Your Portfolio for a BIG Move!

• Let’s get down and dirty; how do you position yourself most effectively for the
possibility of an extreme movements without exposing yourself to drastic risks?

• Let’s not get cute; this is serious and there are potentially billions up for grabs.

MY TRADES - Proof is in the Pudding


• First, allow me to display a number of key events surrounding the last few years
whereby, markets and volatility did NOT effectively price risk.

• Thereafter, I shall display the primary strategy I used to create these opportunities.
