## Caption

Nancy Pelosi just bought deep in-the-money calls on Intel and Uber. Liz Dierking says it is a smart capital efficient options trading move but there is an even cheaper way to get the same long exposure on a small account. Active traders can use diagonals and keep ratcheting them forward instead of paying full extrinsic value on a set-and-forget LEAP.

Liz and Chris walk through three structures live. The zebra for stock replacement with zero extrinsic value. The jade lizard as a strangle proxy that takes advantage of volatility skew with no upside risk. And how to size MES futures options so a normal account can sell premium without the notional of a full ES contract. Capital efficiency is the whole point. You do not need a hedge fund balance sheet to express these views.
