Options Trading

After months of debate over mail-in ballots, more common during the COVID-19 era and more time-consuming to count, the options market has priced in outsize stock-market volatility through Election Day.

The market finally reached a breaking point on Thursday when the major averages suffered their steepest one-day decline since June with the S&P 500 dropping 3.51% and the Nasdaq tumbling 4.2%.

Options trading is a great way for investors to manage their risk-reward profiles.

Quadruple witching is a market event that could bring increased volume and volatility.

Trading floors are reopening, much to the joy of the biggest players.
