175: The Impact of Volatility On Options

Show Notes: http://optionalpha.com/show175

Stock trading is easy to understand conceptually because it's one-dimensional. Either the stock goes up or it goes down. Clear and simple, at least from a trading and profit or loss perspective. Options trading, however, is multi-dimensional. Price, time, and volatility all impact the value and price of an options contract. On today's show we're selectively choosing to highlight the impact that volatility has on options because, as we've seen in the 2020 market collapse, if you're not managing volatility, it could become your worst nightmare.
