Exotic Options Round 3

Housekeeping: Hartnett’s Flow Show will be out later today.

Much of the attached report is a cure for insomnia if you are not an options person. Best to avoid it now. But it will serve as basis for part of Sunday’s discussion, so we sent it.

Sunday will touch on it from 4 perspectives

• Educationally- What their analysis describes in simple terms
• Mkt Risk- How they fare in different situations
• Applied- Take-aways how we will (and have) traded this 
• Meta- Spider-sense

If you are not an options person, don’t sweat it. It wont be that bad Sunday.

For Us: By far the most interesting non-option tidbits are the tiny Silver and Platinum comments… aka metal spreads
