How to think about inflation
Published:
In this post I discuss how to think about inflation. This a topic which routinely captures a lot of media attention, especially given the roller coaster inflation has been on in the last 3 years. Along with this attention, comes a lot of misunderstanding of what inflation is, what causes it, and how it should be controlled. This post will hopefully clarify these concepts.
The Gamma Squeeze Phenomenon
Published:
In recent years, “gamma squeezes” have become a hot topic amongst practitioners and academics. This phenomenon, rooted in options trading mechanics, can have a significant impact on underlying stock prices, often leading to rapid and significant price movements. In this post I’ll discuss what a gamma squeeze is, how it occurs, and look at some recent examples. To understand a gamma squeeze, it’s important to know a bit about options and the concept of “gamma.” Options are financial derivatives that give investors the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a stock at a specific price (the “strike price”) by a certain date.
