Excess Returns episodes:

June 15, 2023 A Tour Around the Options World with SpotGamma's Brent Kochuba
There has been a lot going on in the options world that is impacting the stock market. The use of 0DTE (0 days to expiration) options has risen dramatically in recent months, options expirations have continued to be significant market moving events and an end of month trade by a JP Morgan fund many investors haven't heard of has also been a significant market driver. We also have a major options expiration coming up this week that might have significant implications for the market.
With everything going on in the options world, we thought it would be a great time to bring back our friend and options expert Brent Kochuba. Brent is the founder of SpotGamma and has been our go to resource to understand how what is going on in options is impacting the overall market. We cover all the issues above and get Brent's take on what they might mean for investors. He also shares some great charts with us to help us better put everything into context.
