With correlations falling, some stocks are seeing double-digit moves, but those gains and losses can offset each other at the index level, leaving the S&P 500 looking relatively quiet.

Schwartz joined on tastylive to explain why this has become a stock picker's market and what it means for options traders.

Can a stock price in bad earnings news before the company even reports?

That's the question behind Gus's Trade of the Day in $PNC.

Instead of making an outright bullish bet, he's using an upside-skewed iron condor to position for a more contained earnings reaction.

It's not his base case, but he believes it's a major risk traders shouldn't ignore.

Here's why πŸ‘‡

Trade of the day: Small caps are under pressure, but Jermal Chandler sees a potential opportunity in the selloff.

With inflation remaining elevated and interest rates weighing on smaller companies, Jermal is looking beyond the near-term volatility for a possible rebound in $IWM.

For his Trade of the Day on tastylive, he's using a January call ZEBRA to establish bullish exposure while reducing the extrinsic value associated with buying a traditional long call.

Here's why he's positioning for a longer-term recovery. πŸ‘‡
