Key Takeaways:

 

  • The options yield curve is a powerful tool: It offers a way to earn high returns in today’s markets, providing a modern alternative to old interest-rate-based strategies.
  • Sell options on liquid assets: Selling options on assets like Bitcoin or the S&P 500 can be like running a renewable energy plant—using market ups and downs to create steady income.
  • Read market emotions and patterns: Knowing how emotions, seasonal trends, and the volatility risk premium work can help you time your investments better.
  • Profit from volatility gaps: The difference between implied and realized volatility can be an opportunity for gains, especially in emotional markets.
  • Blend defense and offense in strategy: Taleb’s approach focuses on protecting against losses, while Washington’s uses emotional energy for gains—together they make a strong market strategy.
