We provide our thoughts on the current options volume trends. We discuss derivative strategies in ETFs that allow investors to chase stock returns while also protecting against a potential market downturn (or as the WSJ refers to these hot new funds - Boomer Candy for retirees). We talk about how "junk" VIX calls are hot again, and much more.
