Released a new version of "Unusual Financial Communication".
We show that other financial markets also react to unusual financial communication: firm-level uncertainty measured using options increases as a response, and financial analysts substantially revise their next-quarter earnings-per-share forecasts downward, showcasing how communication styles can affect the valuation of firm fundamentals.
My paper "Unusual Financial Communication" was featured by fortune.com.
Released a new version of "Retail Investors Love 0DTE Options... But Should They?".
We study the determinants of how retail investors position themselves in the market for 0DTE options and investigate the factors that lead to their poor performance.
My paper "A New Option Momentum: Compensation for Risk" was awarded the best paper award at the 2024 INQUIRE UK/Europe Joint Spring Seminar!
