Volatility Is an Options Trader’s Best Friend, Don Kaufman Says in Investor’s Business Daily

“This has actually been the best year I’ve had since the financial crisis of 2008,” TheoTrade Chief Market Strategist Don Kaufman says in this Investor’s Business News story titled “Investing 2022: Painful or Profitable.”

Don tells reporter Kathleen Doler that 2022 market conditions were no surprise. An excerpt from the story:

“”You could see this one coming from a mile away.” The Fed started signaling that it would raise interest rates long before it did it. And that meant the bear would chase away the bull.”

“Some investors saw 2022 as a good time to further study trading, particularly the use of options. Besides short selling, Kaufman also traded options in 2022. He says volatility is “an options trader’s best friend.””
