Derek Moore is back with ZEGA CEO Jay Pestrichelli where they discuss whether higher real yields are an issue for markets and how this period seems similar to the 1990's. Then they dive into implied volatility using companies like Tesla TSLA and Nvidia NVDA as examples to explore how options markets express views on expected moves based on options prices. What are the drivers of volatility moving higher or lower. How earnings affect implied volatility and what typically happens after the announcement. They also have a side bar discussion comparing the debt of Tesla to Ford for no reason than that it's quite different. Finally, some recommendations.
