Protecting Downside With Options
From Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on Sep 17, 2025
In this short clip from Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour, recorded on Sep 17, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss the shifting dynamics in options markets, stock-specific risks, and broader volatility signals.
They cover strategies like selling calls, buying puts, or put spreads on names like $NVDA, $SPY, and $TSLA, noting how option pricing and sentiment are evolving.
The conversation highlights risks of a potential volatility shock as CTAs and hedge funds remain positioned in ways that could amplify a downturn, even as markets appear stable.
They stress the importance of protection into year-end, given large institutional bets on weakness and the asymmetric risk of volatility clustering.
