Options R.O.I.
Earlier this week, CBOE along with Wilshire Analytics, the investment technology foundation of Wilshire Associates Inc., released an analysis of the performance of options-based benchmark indexes covering a 30-year period. The results of the study revealed that the use of options-based benchmark indexes with premium selling or buying produce higher absolute returns, lower volatility, less downside risk, increased market capacity and liquidity, and stronger benefits for pension plan allocations. For more information see CBOE Benchmarks.

VIX Fix: Volatility Averted
Stocks ended lower on Friday falling by 130 points as momentum from inaction by the Fed dissipated. Volatility seemed poised to make its triumphant reentrance in the market but after a short-lived spike the VIX Index retreated back to near all-time lows, now around the 12 level. But as the U.S. Election date draws near, and political uncertainty looms, volatility may be down but not out.
