Another episode drop with Shelly Sheldon B. Cohen Shelly is one of those guys I always knew he was at the top of the food chain, but didn't REALLY know what he was involved in the early days of the CBOE until this interview.

In these latest episodes of The Blockchain Advisor™ we go back to our roots at the start of the modern-day derivatives market as we interview floor traders and brokers from Chicago Board Options Exchange. The start of the bull market in 1982 was a special moment in time we shared on the trading floor! The Crash of 1987 is an event that left an indelible mark on our psyche and taught us the meaning of tail risk as opening rotation volatility of options exceed 300%.

In this time of high speed algorithmic trading, we can't forget the stories and  experiences of those who were the founding members of today's derivative market.

We live in a world of high-speed algorithmic trading, dark pools and smartphone investing apps. Decentralized finance or DeFi using blockchain technology is coming at supersonic speed.

The SEC and CFTC are struggling to regulate decentralized cryptocurrency exchanges, stablecoins and decentralized lending. In our Closing Rotation series we interview and pay tribute to those people who risked personal capital and created today’s modern derivatives market.

Early members at the CBOE are passing away and we want to capture these memories. Closing rotation refers to the days on expiration Friday when a series of options were retired and the prices settled for the last time.

The series will provide cryptocurrency and DeFi enthusiasts an opportunity to understand the foundational experiences beginning in the 1970’s where we did everything by open outcry, hand signals and paper trading cards.

We believe pure, passive, mindless index investing has benefits, but it also means index investing offers no adult supervision as valuations can reach irrational heights. Being a highly active DIY investor has benefits, but emotional investing usually lacks the patience needed to achieve stellar portfolio returns.

Cenacle Capital Management provides a mix of passive and active investing offering a "best of both worlds" approach.

Our best trades quite often have come from occasionally doing opposite of what the financial news media is promoting!
