The Advisor's Option 136: Hedged Equity & Boomer Candy

On this episode, we discuss how to navigate current market complexities and we provide insights into today's market volatility. We look at how the earnings season is shaping up. We provide our thoughts on the current options volume trends. We discuss derivative strategies in ETFs that allow investors to chase stock returns while also protecting against a potential market downturn (or as the WSJ refers to these hot new funds - Boomer Candy for retirees). We talk about how "junk" VIX calls are hot again, and much more.
