Tune In This Morning to the Schwab Network at 9:10 AM ET

I will be appearing live on the Schwab Network this morning with Nicole Petallides at 9:10 AM ET to discuss the reality of the hedged equity landscape. The traditional, rules-based hedged equity space has ballooned into a massive asset class, but too many advisors and retail investors don’t realize that these legacy products are fundamentally short-volatility strategies that overpay for static downside cushions while completely selling away their upside momentum. When the market breaks out into an aggressive rally, or suffers a choppy minor decline, these fixed-calendar structures either cap your gains entirely or offer zero protection at all. This morning, I am breaking down how an active, long-volatility framework flips this script—pairing equities with long VIX futures to capture structural market asymmetries, participate fully in major market upsides, and build a systematic “buy low, sell high” engine that thrives when volatility cuts both ways.

Please tune in live at 9:10 AM ET to catch the full segment!
