In Today's Masters in Trading: Live Stocks have been rallying ever since the historic sell-off we saw a few weeks ago. Last week, the S&P 500 and Dow Industrials indexes traded just under their all-time-highs from mid-July, signaling a renewed surge across various sectors we’re tracking. I believe stocks can run even higher from here. And in a market like this, finding the right instruments to boost our gains can put us on the fast-track to beat the market. That’s why I want to take the time today to discuss a popular instrument used by traders to capitalize on potential movements like these – leveraged ETFs. Leveraged ETFs offer the opportunity to take in gains that are 2x, 3x – and even 4x – greater than the value of the underlying assets tied to the fund. This increased volatility has lured in loads of traders over the years with its promises of transforming small opportunities into massive returns… Of course, any position that allows us to amplify our gains over time also comes with bigger risks. And that risk could mean the difference between locking in a market-beating return or losing your shirt on an over-leveraged trade, especially when what you don’t know can hurt you. One of the biggest and least known contributors to any lopsided bet on a leveraged ETF is time decay. And even while veteran options traders may think they have a good understanding of what that means, how it works with leveraged ETFs isn’t quite as obvious. In today’s video, I want to take a deep dive into how we manage downside risk on leveraged trades like these. I’ll discuss how we can mitigate time decay using leveraged ETFs and our other options trades. And I’ll also provide one tool in our arsenal that we can use to make back that lost time decay in any option. Join me this morning for Masters in Trading Live at 11 a.m. ET as I take a deep dive into how time decay affects our trades along with these hot topics: - Managing Time Decay in Options
