JD at ETF Oasis on The Dennis Rodman Effect

Our Founder and CIO JD Gardner, CFA, CMT sat down with industry expert Lara Crigger at the ETF Oasis at Future Proof.

JD made the case that options can work better than bonds as a portfolio’s brakes, and with better brakes you can upgrade your portfolio’s engine with similar risk. Tune in for a fun discussion, and yes, some basketball talk.

Hope you enjoy, and please send a note to info@apt.us if there’s a particular topic you’d like to discuss further.
