Forecasting Short-Term Option Prices

In a market that's highly unpredictable, predicting anything is oftentimes a futile effort. Given the fact that market randomness consistently governs the day, it’s usually best to respond to market conditions, rather than try to predict market movements.

With our XLE position, we do exactly that, in an effort to measure the <a href="http://ontt.tv/2eokmje">realistic probability</a> of our being able to exit the position anytime soon.
