Episode 17: Live From Vegas - OIC
Posted on 5/16/2008 Length 26 minutes 23.7mb
"Live" From Vegas!2008 marks the 35th anniversary of the options market. The options industry celebrated that milestone by holding its annual conference in Las Vegas.
So we decided to take Options Insider Radio on the road this month. Instead of our usual format, we traveled to Las Vegas and recorded a number of impromptu interviews at the conference.
We were lucky enough to find quite a few volunteers for these "live" episodes. Stay tuned to www.TheOptionsInsider.com over the next few weeks for more interviews.
Phil Gocke, Options Industry Council
In this episode, Mark is joined by Phil Gocke, Managing Director of the Options Industry Council. Mark and Phil discuss the benefits of trading collars on the QQQQ. They also discuss the institutional options market and why so many hedge fund managers and financial planners are afraid of options.
In addition, Mark & Phil discuss:
- The results of the recent Tabb Group study that examined the options trading habits of hedge funds and pension funds.
- The impact of time decay on collar strategies.
- Why a collar strategy on the QQQQ is so beneficial in the current market environment.
- How the OIC plans to lure reticent financial planners into the options fold.
- How the OIC's institutional effort is progressing and what is on the horizon for OIC Institutional.
- And much more...
