A visual representation of this concept is easily explained when you compare\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/articles\/investing-strategy\/071616\/implied-vs-historical-volatility-main-differences.asp?hid=c9995a974e40cc43c0e928811aa371d9a0678fd1&amp;did=11929160-20240213&amp;utm_campaign=chart-advisor_newsletter&amp;utm_source=investopedia&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=021324\">Implied Volatility with Historical Volatility<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To compare this relationship, we will look at the Cboe VIX Volatility Index (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/CBOE-VIX\/?hid=c9995a974e40cc43c0e928811aa371d9a0678fd1&amp;did=11929160-20240213&amp;utm_campaign=chart-advisor_newsletter&amp;utm_source=investopedia&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=021324\">VIX<\/a>), a measurement of expected volatility 30 days forward using weighted prices of S&amp;P 500 Index (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/SPX\/?hid=c9995a974e40cc43c0e928811aa371d9a0678fd1&amp;did=11929160-20240213&amp;utm_campaign=chart-advisor_newsletter&amp;utm_source=investopedia&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=021324\">SPX<\/a>) calls and puts over a range of strike prices, compared to historical or realized volatility in the S&amp;P 500 (SPX). To simply put it we will look at the volatility the options market has priced into the market versus the volatility that occurred. This relationship is positive 86.5% of the time on a monthly basis since the early 90\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Historically market participants overpay for option premiums. These inefficiencies in the options market allow for opportunities to exploit the difference between what is expected to happen and what does happen in the market. This means the buyers of options generally overpay because their expectations are greater than reality. The spread between implied volatility and historical volatility is known as volatility risk premium (VRP). Traders who take advantage of this inefficiency are known as VRP Farmers, except we don\u2019t wear bibs or drive tractors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"506\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-1-1100x506.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202342 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-1-1100x506.png 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-1-700x322.png 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-1-300x138.png 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-1-768x354.png 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-1-1536x707.png 1536w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-1.png 1920w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/506;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-abnb-sleep-easier\">2\/ <strong>ABNB: Sleep Easier<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Today after the close Air BNB (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/NASDAQ-ABNB\/?hid=c9995a974e40cc43c0e928811aa371d9a0678fd1&amp;did=11929160-20240213&amp;utm_campaign=chart-advisor_newsletter&amp;utm_source=investopedia&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=021324\">ABNB<\/a>) reports earnings so let\u2019s break it down. As far as earnings go, I have no idea where they will fall. From the chart we can see using the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/articles\/trading\/09\/linear-regression-time-price.asp?hid=c9995a974e40cc43c0e928811aa371d9a0678fd1&amp;did=11929160-20240213&amp;utm_campaign=chart-advisor_newsletter&amp;utm_source=investopedia&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=021324\">Linear Regression Channel<\/a>\u00a0tells us that ABNB has been trending up from the December 2022 lows. Considering the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/r\/rsi.asp?hid=c9995a974e40cc43c0e928811aa371d9a0678fd1&amp;did=11929160-20240213&amp;utm_campaign=chart-advisor_newsletter&amp;utm_source=investopedia&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=021324\">Relative Strength Index<\/a>\u00a0is nearing overbought territory with a reading of 64 the positive price action be getting a little over done. Each time in the past it has moved into or very near this level it has reversed course and moved counter to the primary trend. The previous 7 earnings cycles have produced a mixed bag of market reactions with both positive and negative moves post report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With ABNB closing at $153.80 I will now turn to the options market to see what it is implying the expected move in ABNB will be. We will look at the cost of buying an at the money\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.investopedia.com\/terms\/l\/longstraddle.asp?hid=c9995a974e40cc43c0e928811aa371d9a0678fd1&amp;did=11929160-20240213&amp;utm_campaign=chart-advisor_newsletter&amp;utm_source=investopedia&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=021324\">straddle<\/a>. Buying an at the money straddle would entail buying a call and put with a strike price closest to the last trading price of the stock. Choose an expiration date closest to, but after the expected event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this case we are looking at an ABNB Feb 16, 2024 $152.50 straddle. The ask price is $13.40 as of the close on Monday 2.12.2024. Remember, most traders who purchase options pay a premium based on what they expect to happen, but a considerable percentage of the time they are wrong. Buying a straddle is a non- directional trade. It does not matter if the stock moves up or down, it just needs to move in a way, up or down, that is greater than the premium paid by expiration to be profitable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the options market is correct the stock will move around $13.40 (8.7%) or less post earnings. We don\u2019t know which direction, but we can add it to the chart to help visualize the expected move. Keep in mind this method is not always a precise measurement as the market can and will get it wrong periodically, but it is a reasonably fair way to access the expected move. This is just another tool that can help a trader manage risk as they can adjust orders or positions accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"614\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-2-1100x614.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202343 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-2-1100x614.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-2-700x391.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-2-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-2-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-2.jpg 1196w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/614;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-dr-dr-give-me-the-news\">3\/ <strong>Dr. Dr. Give Me the News<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When you are sick you should go to the doctor.

The old saying goes, Dr Copper has a PHD in economics if that is the case, he is certainly smarter to me. So, what is he saying?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Year to date the S&amp;P 500 has been running higher and is up 5.4% YTD. Copper has been struggling this year and is moving counter to the market trend. Copper, given its wide-reaching industrial use, can be used as a proxy for overall economic activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we compare the price action of copper to the price action of the S&amp;P 500 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/COMEX-HG1!\/?hid=c9995a974e40cc43c0e928811aa371d9a0678fd1&amp;did=11929160-20240213&amp;utm_campaign=chart-advisor_newsletter&amp;utm_source=investopedia&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=021324\">SPX<\/a>) we would generally expect them to have a positive correlation.\u00a0 If the demand for copper (reflected through price) disconnects with the trend of the market it is worth taking a second look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In this chart the S&amp;P 500 (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/SPX\/?hid=c9995a974e40cc43c0e928811aa371d9a0678fd1&amp;did=11929160-20240213&amp;utm_campaign=chart-advisor_newsletter&amp;utm_source=investopedia&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=021324\">SPX<\/a>) and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tradingview.com\/symbols\/COMEX-HG1!\/?hid=c9995a974e40cc43c0e928811aa371d9a0678fd1&amp;did=11929160-20240213&amp;utm_campaign=chart-advisor_newsletter&amp;utm_source=investopedia&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_content=021324\">HG copper<\/a>\u00a0had a relatively positive correlation for much of 2023. That all changed in late 2023 when the price action of copper diverges from the price action of the market and began making multi-month lows while the market pushes through all-time highs. Generally, this is not considered a good thing. It may indicate a weakness forming in industrial demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If conditions continue to diverge and, or, other cracks in the markets begin to form, it may be better to get your medicine early from Dr. Copper rather than catching a cold market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1100\" height=\"614\" data-src=\"\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-3-1100x614.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-202344 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-3-1100x614.jpg 1100w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-3-700x391.jpg 700w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-3-300x168.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-3-768x429.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ibkrcampus.com\/campus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2024\/02\/13.02-3.jpg 1212w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1100px) 100vw, 1100px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1100px; aspect-ratio: 1100\/614;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Originally posted February 13th 2024<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Markets are not as efficient as most believe.
