2025 The Year Of Volatility
From Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on April 9, 2025

In this short clip from Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on April 9, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss how recent market rallies could be short-lived amid persistently high volatility.
They warn that while markets may grind a bit higher toward resistance near 5,600, the underlying volatility regime has shifted, making the environment riskier and less predictable.
Samantha outlines key technical levels on the S&P 500, noting that 5,250 is a critical level—failure to hold above it could trigger a fast pullback and signal a failed breakout.
They caution that markets are no longer operating under the old low-volatility norms, and unless the Fed steps in, deeper corrections are still on the table.

Hello there,
Huge Respect for your work!
New here. No huge reader base Yet.
But the work has waited long to be spoken.
Its truths have roots older than this platform.
My Sub-stack Purpose
To seed, build, and nurture timeless, intangible human capitals — such as resilience, trust, truth, evolution, fulfilment, quality, peace, patience, discipline, relationships and conviction — in order to elevate human judgment, deepen relationships, and restore sacred trusteeship and stewardship of long-term firm value across generations.
A refreshing take on our business world and capitalism.
A reflection on why today’s capital architectures—PE, VC, Hedge funds, SPAC, Alt funds, Rollups—mostly fail to build and nuture what time can trust.
“Built to Be Left.”
A quiet anatomy of extraction, abandonment, and the collapse of stewardship.
"Principal-Agent Risk is not a flaw in the system.
It is the system’s operating principle”
