You're listening to the Option Alpha Podcast from Option Alpha.com where we show you how to make

smarter trades learn how the stock market really works and generate consistent monthly

income. Now your host and head trader at

option alpha.com Kirk depluses.

Hey everyone this is Kirk here again at option alpha

com working every single week to make this the most popular

investing podcast offered online and an iTunes

because it's based on one thing and one thing only and that's helping you guys

make smarter trades.

So again, thanks so much for tuning in today.

On today's show we've got a very special guest in here with us and again, like I say, every

time that we bring someone on, I'm not just bringing people on here to fill up airtime and to fill up slots on the show.

I want to bring people in here that will add value to your trading.

And so in today's example in today's case, we're going to be bringing in here Mark Sebastian in a second.

He is a former floor trader and hedge fund manager also is the founder of Option Pit.com, which I'm sure you've heard of.

If you haven't, you can go on over there and check it out. We'll have it all linked up in the show notes. But the reason that I brought in Mark here is because he's specialized. I mean, not only does this guy have a lot of experience in trading. He's been trading for decades now and has a lot of

experience in just the investing and options world. But he's got specialized experience

with these volatility products. So things like the Vicks and the Vicks futures and VXX and UVX Y.

And so for me, this is a great opportunity to kind of expand what we're doing here

at Option Alpha and bring somebody in that has a little bit more

understanding of intimately how these products work and how you can use them a little

bit better in your own trading and truth be told it's a little bit selfish for me
