Reverse Convertibles: In Favor of the Issuer, Not the Buyer [View article]
Nothing wrong or inconsistent here
The first point only stated that the SD of individual stocks is much higher than the market and the value of a put is partly based on volatility.
The second and independent point is that the combination of the high volatility and negative skewness create the potential for large losses. Something investors seem to miss.
My Take on This Very Risky Market [View article]
Re the life insurance. I never said ALL life insurance. I specifically referred to a company that is not the highest rated. I own a policy with Mass Mutual, a very strong company. Different situation
Also wasnt claiming to share "anything" new. Just trying to explain what is happening in clear English so ordinary people could understand it, and talk about what IMO is the prudent response.
