QUOTE OF THE WEEK

Two fund managers behind the surge in ETF options 

“What we found is that most investors, especially those that are later in their investing life, such as retirees, are more concerned about preserving capital than capital appreciation. So, they’re willing to give up some of the upside in order to know that they have downside protection” – Graham Day, Innovator
