We’re Gunna Talk About Options

In its inaugural episode, Cabot Street Check welcomes Jacob Mintz, Chief Analyst of Cabot Options Trader, Options Trader Pro and Cabot Profit Booster, to discuss the state of the markets and how he uses unusual options activity to identify promising investment opportunities for his subscribers. Chris and Brad start this week's episode with a conversation about retail spending before Chris is forced to "Defend the Take" that a well-known market truism doesn't apply this year. Before welcoming Jacob, they discuss this week's "Big Three" headlines, including the most recent CPI print, earnings season kicking off, and the safety of U.S. banks. Then, Jacob shares his approach to screening options and talks his time in the trenches at the CBOE.
