Stock Market Hedging Before the Election- Are You Overpaying?

As we approach the 2024 Presidential election, watch this video to learn about the key indicators that suggest how to navigate potential market fluctuations, including the CBOE Volatility Index (VIX), realized volatility (RVOL), and volatility futures—tools that can help clarify whether hedging your portfolio is worthwhile. I discuss how many investors have been overly cautious this year, missing out on significant gains due to fears surrounding political outcomes. By analyzing the relationship between actual market volatility and hedging costs, I reveal why the current climate might actually favor those willing to invest rather than stay on the sidelines. Join me to uncover insights that challenge the prevailing narrative and position you for potential success in what I believe is a robust bull market.
