Options trading for beginners: Dr. Jim Schultz covers the two most important keys to volatility that you will use every single day. First, market prices and market volatility move inversely. When prices drop, investors sell risky assets and volatility rises. He explains it intuitively, uncertainty drives selling, and mathematically, a higher discount rate reduces the present value of future cash flows. Second, volatility contracts over time. Every spike, every expansion, eventually grinds back down to the lower end of its range. Understanding these two facts is the foundation for every premium selling strategy.
