Slow Money Is Not Dumb
From Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour recorded on Jul 23, 2025
In this short clip from Macro-To-Micro Options Power Hour, recorded on Jul 23, 2025, Samantha LaDuc and Hans Albrecht discuss the ongoing “melt-up” in markets despite delays in expected Fed rate cuts and signs of economic flatness.
They highlight that July and August puts were crushed, and December is now a better hedge window due to continued policy support and speculation.
While the market remains strong, they caution that smart institutional players are pulling back—especially in lending—anticipating trouble ahead.
The discussion emphasizes staying opportunistic in trades but remaining aware that short-covering rallies and lucky wins don’t reflect true economic strength.
