The Gathering Storm

An interesting new report was recently released by the TABB Group. It is called "Equity Options Trading: Rising Out Of Obscurity," and it contains many interesting observations about the options market (you can read the complete sixty-page report for yourself here).

The opening paragraph of the report sets the tone for the material contained within:

"A perfect storm is about to hit the options market. Trading volume is reaching record levels seemingly on a monthly basis. Volatility - a critical component of any options trade - is flirting with historical highs and the resulting stock market gyrations seems to be the focus of every morning, noon and evening talk show. Regulatory initiatives and new technologies are changing the way options are being traded, resulting in greater demand from institutional investors and shining even more light on the potentialities of options. Long perceived as a financial flea market where the naïve and uninitiated speculators attempted to get rich overnight, the options market is now a sophisticated bazaar where professionals ply their trade, using sophisticated financial techniques that can no longer be viewed or even portrayed as even remotely speculative."
