Derek Moore is back with Jay Pestrichelli, CEO of ZEGA Financial, to review the Goldman Sachs probability of recession and Fed rate forecast for 2024. Then they do a deeper dive on key aspects of US Treasury Bond auctions. Hint, it’s a Dutch auction and how to read the results of treasury auctions including the bid to cover ratio. Later they talk through changes in the makeup of the S&P 500 Index companies and what the impact on earnings may be. Plus, how even when stocks go in and out of the index how the “divisor” calculation smooths the S&P 500 price out. Finally, Jay and Derek do a deep dive into the difference of options premium intrinsic value vs. extrinsic value using some examples. Oh, we have some recommendations as well.
