Robinhood IPO Access $HOOD

25 min

Robinhood is going public under the ticker HOOD and plans to sell up to 35% of the shares to Retail Investors. They announced that they are building a platform to “democratize” initial public offerings, including their own, that would allow users of its trading app to buy shares alongside Wall Street funds.The move could erode Wall Street’s grip on stock market flotations. It would be easier to implement for Robinhood’s own IPO, given how companies and their investment bankers tightly control allocations to investors in new listings.Currently, Robinhood users and other amateur traders cannot buy into stock of a newly listed company until its shares start trading. Since shares often trade higher when they debut, big funds that get allocations in the IPO have an advantage. The average first-day trading pop on U.S. listings of businesses in 2020 was 36%.The FIGS IPO was the first one to be sold directly to retail investors through Robinhood's online brokerage platform.Robinhood plans to carve out a chunk of its shares on offer in its IPO for its 13 million users, and to use technology it is building to administer this part of the offering, the sources said.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceVisit our website: www.onfinance.orgFollow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoylePatrick Boyle On Finance Podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7uhrWlDvxzy9hLoW0EYf0bApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/patrick-boyle-on-finance/id1547740313Google Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/62862nveJoin this channel to support making this content:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCASM0cgfkJxQ1ICmRilfHLw/join Learn more about your ad choices.

When Should I Exercise an American Stock Option - Finance Tutorial

9 min

These classes are all based on the book Trading and Pricing Financial Derivatives, available on Amazon at this link. https://amzn.to/2WIoAL0 Check out our website http://www.onfinance.org/Follow Patrick on twitter here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoylePeople are often confused as to when it makes sense to exercise an option. Most of the time it does not make sense to early exercise American options. In this video we go through the scenarios where it might make sense.For an American-style call option, early exercise is a possibility whenever the benefits of being long the underlying outweighs the cost of giving up the option early (the benefits of being long the underlying outweigh the foregone time value of the option). For example, on the day before an ex-dividend date, it may make sense to exercise an equity call option early in order to collect the dividend. In general, equity call options should only be exercised early on the day before an ex-dividend date, and then only for deep in-the-money options when the dividend is sufficiently large For an American-style put option, early exercise might make sense if it is deep in-the-money. In this case, it may be wise to exercise the option early in order to obtain the intrinsic value (K – S) earlier so that it can start to earn interest immediately. This is somewhat more likely to be worthwhile if there is no ex-dividend date, which would probably cause the price of the underlying to fall further between now and the expiry date. This would usually require interest rates to be relatively high.When should I exercise an option? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

The average American is 39 years old - which is half the age of the sitting president - Donald Trump. When Ronald Reagan was inaugurated at 69 years old, he became the oldest person to have ever served as president. Donald Trump and Joe Biden are even older and are now - the two oldest men to ever be inaugurated as president. The average ages in the House and Senate at 58 and 64, are significantly older than the average American. A word often used to describe the nation’s governing class is “gerontocracy” - meaning government based on rule by old people.It's not just in the US either - around the world our political leaders are older than ever before.

If you would like a demonstration on how they do this click on this link: https://pfc.ltd/?NzM2OAThe top five insider trading scandals. When people hear the term “insider trading,” they think of the crime. But insider trading is just the trading of a public company's securities by people with access to nonpublic or insider information about the company. There are rules around how insiders are allowed trade, forms they must fill out and so on, and these differ around the world.Insider trading becomes illegal when a person bases their trading decision on information that the public does not know. It is illegal to trade stock in a company based on insider information, and it is also illegal to pass on that information to another person so that they can trade. In such a situation the person passing on the information is breaking the law as is the person receiving it if they trade on the information.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceVisit our website: www.onfinance.orgFollow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoylePatrick Boyle On Finance Podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7uhrWlDvxzy9hLoW0EYf0bApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/patrick-boyle-on-finance/id1547740313Google Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/62862nveJoin this channel to support making this content:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCASM0cgfkJ...

The Volatility Smile - Options Trading Lessons

19 min

The volatility smile is a real-life pattern that is observed when different strikes of option, with the same underlying and same expiration date are plotted on a graph.These classes are all based on the book Trading and Pricing Financial Derivatives, available on Amazon at this link. https://amzn.to/2WIoAL0 Check out our website http://www.onfinance.org/Follow Patrick on twitter here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoylePatreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceVolatility smiles are implied volatility patterns that arise in pricing financial options. It corresponds to finding one single parameter (implied volatility) that is needed to be modified for the Black-Scholes formula to fit market prices. In particular for a given expiration, options whose strike price differs substantially from the underlying asset's price command higher prices (and thus implied volatilities) than what is suggested by standard option pricing models. These options are said to be either deep in-the-money or out-of-the-money. Graphing implied volatilities against strike prices for a given expiry yields a skewed "smile" instead of the expected flat surface. The pattern differs across various markets. Equity options traded in American markets did not show a volatility smile before the Crash of 1987 but began showing one afterwards. It is believed that investor reassessments of the probabilities of fat-tail have led to higher prices for out-of-the-money options. This anomaly implies deficiencies in the standard Black-Scholes option pricing model which assumes constant volatility and log-normal distributions of underlying asset returns. Empirical asset returns distributions, however, tend to exhibit fat-tails (kurtosis) and skew. Modelling the volatility smile is an active area of research in quantitative finance, and better pricing models such as the stochastic volatility model partially address this issue. A related concept is that of term structure of volatility, which describes...

The Oldest Companies in The World

13 min

A study by McKinsey found that the average life-span of S&P 500 companies has fallen from 61 years in 1958 to less than 18 years today. McKinsey predict that, by 2027, 75% of the companies currently included in the S&P 500 will have disappeared.So, What happens to these companies? Well, many will be bought- out, merged, and some will even go bankrupt like Lehman Brothers and Worldcom did. Some companies keep on going. General Electric, Exxon Mobile and Procter & Gamble are among the oldest large companies listed on the New York Stock Exchange. It is worth noting though, that age does not necessarily make a company any better. In fact, evidence from the stock market indicates that age is quite possibly a hindrance. Of the companies that have stayed in the S&P 500 for more than 60 years, only a minority have managed to beat the average over time. It is worth noting that the biggest companies today are quite young, companies like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, Alphabet and Facebook. If the S&P 500 was made up only of the companies that were part of the index sixty years ago, overall index performance would have been around a third lower.In Todays video we compare young vs. old companies and see if there are any lessons we can learn from the oldest companies in the world.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceVisit our website: www.onfinance.orgFollow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoylePatrick Boyle On Finance Podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7uhrWlDvxzy9hLoW0EYf0bApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/patrick-boyle-on-finance/id1547740313Google Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/62862nveJoin this channel to support making this content:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCASM0cgfkJxQ1ICmRilfHLw/join0:00 Introduction0:44 Stock market performance1:26 A...

What is Options Vega? The Options Greeks - Options Trading Tutorial

8 min

These classes are all based on the book Trading and Pricing Financial Derivatives, available on Amazon at this link. https://amzn.to/2WIoAL0 Check out our website http://www.onfinance.org/Follow Patrick on twitter here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoyleWhat is Options Vega?Vega is a measure of the impact of changes in implied volatility on the option price. Specifically, the vega of an option expresses the change in the price of the option for every 1% change in implied volatility.Options tend to be more expensive when volatility is higher. Thus, whenever volatility goes up, the price of the option goes up and when volatility drops, the price of the option will also fall. ExampleA stock XYZ is trading at $46 in May and a JUN 50 call is selling for $2. Let's assume that the vega of the option is 0.15 and that the underlying volatility is 25%.If the underlying volatility increased by 1% to 26%, then the price of the option should rise to $2 + 0.15 = $2.15.However, if the volatility had gone down by 2% to 23% instead, then the option price should drop to $2 - (2 x 0.15) = $1.70Passage of time and its effects on the vegaThe more time remaining to option expiration, the higher the vega. This makes sense as time value makes up a larger proportion of the premium for longer term options and it is the time value that is sensitive to changes in volatility.

Square, a fintech founded by Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey, has invested $220 m in bitcoin, and profits from bitcoin trading. Elon Musk has drawn criticism for putting $1.5 bil of Tesla's cash in Bitcoin and for tweeting about dogecoin. ARK Invest, meanwhile, has been predicting since 2019 that blockchain’s economic impact could be as significant as that of electricity and offers cryptocurrency investing as one of its alternative strategies. So let’s allow these guys to explain for us: why is bitcoin key to a clean energy future?https://assets.ctfassets.net/2d5q1td6cyxq/5mRjc9X5LTXFFihIlTt7QK/e7bcba47217b60423a01a357e036105e/BCEI_White_Paper.pdfPatrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceVisit our website: www.onfinance.orgFollow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoylePatrick Boyle On Finance Podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7uhrWlDvxzy9hLoW0EYf0bApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/patrick-boyle-on-finance/id1547740313Google Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/62862nveJoin this channel to support making this content:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCASM0cgfkJxQ1ICmRilfHLw/join Learn more about your ad choices.

What are Structured Products? (Part 2) CPPI Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance

9 min

In Part two of our series on Structured Products, let's learn about Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance.These classes are all based on the book Trading and Pricing Financial Derivatives, available on Amazon at this link. https://amzn.to/2WIoAL0 Check out our website http://www.onfinance.org/Follow Patrick on twitter here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoyleWhat is Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI)? Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI) is a type of portfolio insurance in which the investor sets a floor on the dollar value of their portfolio, then structures asset allocation around that decision. The two asset classes used in CPPI are a risky asset (usually equities or mutual funds) and a conservative asset of either cash, equivalents or treasury bonds. The percentage allocated to each depends on the "cushion" value, defined as current portfolio value minus floor value, and a multiplier coefficient, where a higher number denotes a more aggressive strategy.Understanding Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI) Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI) allows an investor to maintain exposure to the upside potential of a risky asset while providing a capital guarantee against downside risk. The outcome of the CPPI strategy is somewhat similar to that of buying a call option, but does not use option contracts. Thus, CPPI is sometimes referred to as a convex strategy, as opposed to a "concave strategy" like constant mix. Financial institutions sell CPPI products on a variety of risky assets, including equities and credit default swaps.A CPPI fund is a fund where the manager allocates dynamically and regularly exposure to risky assets (underlying such as equities or stock indices) and non-risky assets (bonds, money market funds) in order to ensure the preservation of invested capital.To achieve his goal, the manager defines the "cushion" or the percentage of the fund’s assets that may be put at risk without any effect on the level of prot...

In recent years the Golden State has been losing the competition with neighboring states. More than 500 businesses have left California since 2005. Among these businesses were Fortune 500 companies and the economic impact from these departing companies is likely to be severe.California’s tax laws and prohibitive regulations are the leading causes of the massive corporate exodus. The business-friendly conditions, opportunities to save costs, and home-ownership options for employees in other states are a few reasons companies have decided to leave California. These factors led to the first three-year decline in population in Californias history. In today's video we ask, what went wrong with California?

Conditional Value at Risk and Stress Testing in Financial Risk Management

Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR), also known as the expected shortfall, is a risk assessment measure that aims to quantify the amount of risk an investment portfolio has. CVaR is derived by taking a weighted average of the “extreme” losses in the tail of the distribution of possible returns, beyond the value at risk (VaR) cutoff point. Conditional value at risk is used in portfolio optimization as part of risk management.Understanding Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) attempts to address the shortcomings of the VaR model, which is a statistical technique used to measure the level of financial risk within a firm or an investment portfolio over a specific time frame. While VaR represents a worst-case loss associated with a probability and a time horizon, CVaR is the expected loss if that worst case threshold is ever crossed. CVaR, in other words, quantifies the expected losses that occur beyond the VaR breakpoint. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

GameStop Selling New Shares! $GME

9 min

Two months after Reddit day traders took GameStonk ( $GME ) shares to surprising heights in a massive short squeeze, the video game retailer is finally trying to cash in. On Monday, it announced plans to issue up to 3.5 million new shares worth $650m via an “at-the-market” offering, or ATM. The structure allows the issuer to raise cash bit by bit over the course of months or years. This is reasonable opportunism. Despite a pullback, GameStop shares are still up 900 per cent this year.If successful, the share sale will equate to 5 per cent of outstanding stock. For the army of diamond handed faithfuls, the dilution is a small price to pay in exchange for turnround plans. Ryan Cohen, co-founder and former chief executive of online pet supply retailer Chewy (The new Pets.com), is leading the push to transform the brick-and-mortar retailer into an online-first operation.Patrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceVisit our website: www.onfinance.orgFollow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoylePatrick Boyle On Finance Podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7uhrWlDvxzy9hLoW0EYf0bApple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/patrick-boyle-on-finance/id1547740313Google Podcasts: https://tinyurl.com/62862nve Learn more about your ad choices.

Financial Options Pricing History. How do Investors Price Options?

12 min

Financial Options Pricing History. Today we will learn How do Investors Price Options?These classes are all based on the book Trading and Pricing Financial Derivatives, available on Amazon at this link. https://amzn.to/2WIoAL0 Check out our website http://www.onfinance.org/Follow Patrick on twitter here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoyleUp to now we have looked at how options work and how they can be combined. We have mentioned options premium and how it is made up of time value and intrinsic value. In this video we will look at a few of the most common methods for pricing options. The value of options depends on a number of different variables in addition to the value of the underlying asset. They are complex to value and there are many pricing models in use. All models essentially incorporate the concepts of rational pricing, intrinsic value, time value, and put-call parity. In this video we will give you some insight as to how different variables affect option prices, and we hope to show you that while these methods are extremely useful, they are quite fallible, and can only give you an indication of fair value that is extremely dependent on the inputs into the formulas. The old “garbage in, garbage out” adage is particularly applicable to derivatives valuation—and most of financial mathematics. The formulas we will look at are only as good as the numbers that are put into them and often rely on a number of assumptions that do not always hold up in live securities market trading. They all rely on an estimate of volatility, and on an assumed distribution, that cannot be known in advance.In general, standard option valuation models depend on the following factors:• The current market price of the underlying security• The strike price of the option• The cost of holding a position in the underlying security, including interest and dividends• The time to expiration together with any restrictions on when exercise may occur• An estimate of the future volatility of the u...

Volatility Trading - Call and Put Options - Trading Tutorial

23 min

These classes are all based on the book Derivatives For The Trading Floor, available on Amazon at this link. https://amzn.to/3GdLi2s Check out our website http://www.onfinance.org/Follow Patrick on twitter here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoyleWhat is volatility trading?Volatility trading is the term used to describe trading the volatility of the price of an underlying instrument rather than the price itself. For example, you could trade the price direction of an equity index, but volatility trading typically means trading the expected future volatility of the index. Any instrument whose price moves, exhibits price volatility. Volatility trading is simply buying and selling the expected future volatility of the instrument. Rather than predicting whether the price of an asset will move up or down, volatility traders are concerned with how much movement, in any direction, will occur.How is volatility traded?The most common way to trade volatility is using options. The value of an option is affected by several factors, but an essential determinant of its value is the expected future volatility of the underlying instrument, which is included in the pricing formulas as standard deviation. Other things being equal, options struck on an underlying with higher expected volatility will be more expensive than options struck on an underlying expected to be less volatile. Options therefore are a good way to gain exposure to the volatility of the underlying.The price of volatilityThe value of an option can be attributed to several components. By stripping these away, traders can imply an annualised volatility level that the option’s tick value equates to. This is known as the implied volatility. So an equity index may be trading at a certain price and it may have exhibited a certain realized level of volatility over the previous 12 months. Traders can compare this realized level of volatility with the current implied level as seen in the option market. However, there is a cruci...

What are Dividend Swaps, commodity swaps, equity swaps?

In todays video we will learn about Dividend Swaps, Commodity Swaps and Equity Swaps.These classes are all based on the book Trading and Pricing Financial Derivatives, available on Amazon at this link. https://amzn.to/2WIoAL0 Check out our website http://www.onfinance.org/Follow Patrick on twitter here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoyleWhat are Dividend Swaps?A dividend swap is an over-the-counter financial derivative contract (in particular a form of swap). It consists of a series of payments made between two parties at defined intervals over a fixed term. One party - the holder of the fixed leg - will pay its counterparty a pre-designated fixed payment at each interval. The other party - the holder of the floating leg - will pay its counterparty the total dividends that were paid out by a selected underlying, which can be a single company, a basket of companies, or all the members of an index. The payments are multiplied by a notional number of shares.Like most swaps, the contract is usually arranged such that its value at signing is zero. This is accomplished by making the value of the fixed leg equal to the value of the floating leg - in other words, the fixed leg will be equal to the average expected dividends over the term of the swap. Therefore, the fixed leg of the swap can be used to estimate market forecasts of the dividends that will be paid out by the underlyingWhat is a Commodity Swap?A commodity swap is a type of swap agreement whereby a floating (or market or spot) price based on an underlying commodity is traded for a fixed price over a specified period.The vast majority of commodity swaps involve oil. Many airline and rail companies enter oil commodity swap deals in order to secure lower oil costs in the long term. A commodity swap is similar to a fixed-floating interest rate swap. The difference is that in an interest rate swap, the floating leg is based on standard interest rates such as LIBOR and EURIBOR. However, in a commodity swap, the floatin...

Archegos Capital Blowup | Bill Hwang's Margin Call

17 min

Archegos Capital: The little-known family office of Bill Hwang convinced almost every big bank to lend enormous sums to it. One of the so-called Tiger Cub veterans of Julian Robertson’s Tiger Management fund, Hwang was a man who had run into trouble before, having been banned from trading in Hong Kong and fined millions in the US to settle illegal trading charges in 2012. Hwang used to run a hedge fund called Tiger Asia, but he returned outside money after his trading misadventures. Now he is the man behind Archegos Capital, the family office that has become a stark example of what happens when banks give out too much leverage and call it back all at once.Bill Hwang had been flying under the radar until his bet on ViacomCBS ran into trouble last week. The plunge triggered margin calls, a bank’s way of saying, “put up more cash or we’re selling your positions”. What followed was a wave of selling by banks that wiped $33bn off the companies involved on Friday alone. By some accounts, share sales by Hwang’s various counterparties have already topped $30bn, with more damage expected to follow. That spelt trouble not only for Hwang but also the top banks including Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, Credit Suisse and Nomura which extended billions of dollars in credit to allow Archegos to make highly levered bets on US and Chinese stocks. We learned on Monday that the banks had attempted to co-ordinate efforts to limit the mayhem. Those talks failed and chaos ensued.Leverage & Trading Returns Video: https://youtu.be/UjsC2sk7vVgPatrick's Books:Statistics For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3eerLA0Derivatives For The Trading Floor: https://amzn.to/3cjsyPFCorporate Finance: https://amzn.to/3fn3rvC Patreon Page: https://www.patreon.com/PatrickBoyleOnFinanceVisit our website: www.onfinance.orgFollow Patrick on Twitter Here: https://twitter.com/PatrickEBoylePatrick Boyle On Finance Podcast:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7uhrWlDvxzy9hLoW0EYf0bApple: https://podcasts.apple...

We talk about Warren Buffett, Leon Cooperman and Carl Icahn.Berkshire Hathaway investors have been waiting for the company to put its cash pile to work. Warren Buffett has had a few quarters of active stock buying in the past few years, but the company's cash hoard has been growing since its last major purchase - the January 2016 acquisition of Precision Castparts.Berkshire has about $128 billion in cash and equivalents on its balance sheet. Since the COVID-19 pandemic and the resulting bear market began, investors have been waiting to see if the company will finally make some big moves.No major investments have come to fruition - at least not in the acquisition department. And judging by recent comments by Charlie Munger, there are no big acquisition targets in the company's immediate future.Berkshire could be putting some of its money to work in the stock market during the COVID-19 pandemic.The first important date for investors to watch is when Berkshire releases its first-quarter earnings report on Friday May 1 at the Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting 2020. We'll get a glimpse of how much cash the company had as of March 31, when the bear market was already well underway. If the cash hoard has declined significantly, we can infer that Berkshire has been doing some stock buying since there haven't been any major acquisitions announced.In the video I mention my favorite books on Warren Buffett and how he invests.
