Broken Pie Chart


Nov 20, 2023

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.
