OptionNews.com - great content and worth a look

Written on June 2, 2008 by OptionsRopeaDope

I spent some time clicking around and watching some of the videos on ONN.tv, or “Option News Network”. There are a number of sections, and there’s some great content. There’s news sorts of channels, with hot options, market updates, etc, but what I really liked was the “OptionsPhysics”, especially the Pro channel. It is profesionally done, and spot on with lots of trading wisdom. I’ll be watching it in the future. I learned quite a bit watching the episodes on gamma scalping, and hearing how it works great, bt the key is historical volatility being higher than implied volatility. Never heard it explained so well before.

It looks like the site is still in beta mode - it crashes every now and then, and logs you out at times (you have to create an account and log in to view video archives). Nonetheless, it’s a very good site. I do wish they would support video podcasts by RSS - if I could, I would definitely be downloading these and watching them on my media center, and I’m sure plenty of people would like to watch on their video ipods.
