Office Hours/Advisors Option Flash Poll.

With $VIX hitting new lows and $SPX new highs, what is your financial advisor telling you about using #Options?

  • 13% – Write covered calls
  • 35% – Buy protective puts
  • 22% – Do Both – Use Collars

Listener Questions and Comments:

  • Question from Tancray – Do you think the trend toward passive investing will help or hurt options focused advisors?
  • Question from Nick Sassela – I’ve read a lot about robo advisors encroaching on the domain of the traditional financial advisor. I would think complicated assets like options wouldn’t be well-suited to algorithms and machines. Is it fair to say that options then are the silver bullet to the rise of the robo advisors?
