The Wall Street Skinny
96. Trading Equities and Options 101, Feat. Dan Nathan of CNBC’s Fast Money
Today we are joined by Dan Nathan, CNBC Fast Money superstar and co-host of podcasts On the Tape, OK Computer, and Market Call. After three decades in the industry on both the buy side (at legendary hedge funds like SAC) and the sell side (at firms like Merrill Lynch), Dan is an expert on the equity markets and options trading. Dan shares his insight into the evolution of the equities trading business, the insider secrets of what it’s like being a pundit talking about the markets on TV every day, and a crash course in equity options 101.
We walk through the basic mechanics of incorporating simple strategies like puts, calls, straddles, and costless collars or risk reversals into a basic long equities position.
We also talk about trading philosophies in general --- how both retail and institutional investors have shifted their approach in the past few years, how to formulate and argue a thesis every day on national television, and how AI may change the landscape going forward.
