In this episode of InDaloop, Thomas Li discusses the concept of volatility in the financial markets, particularly in the context of recent record-breaking fluctuations driven by fears of recession and Fed actions. He breaks down volatility’s key role in option pricing through models like Black-Scholes, explaining how options have intrinsic and extrinsic values. Volatility serves as a gauge of market fear, which is reflected in tools like the VIX, often called the “fear index.” Li highlights the connection between rising volatility and increased demand for portfolio insurance via options, and how investors can use implied volatility to understand broader market sentiments or specific securities. Finally, he emphasizes the importance of time as a cost factor in volatility, particularly in relation to options nearing expiration.

No. You do not need to be using our data sheets in order to automatically update your models. In fact, we highly encourage you to use our plugin with any existing models you may already have to simplify updating for earnings or filling in any missing quarters. We don’t pull numbers in with a formula–everything is hard-coded, which means that anyone without Daloopa’s plug-in will be able to see the numbers as well, in addition to never #REF-ing out your models.

We can easily work with that. Daloopa’s plug-in is smart enough to know when you are using different units and signs from the company’s disclosure. This happens most often when a company discloses in thousands and you model in millions, or when a company provides a negative number for an expensive item, but you have it as a positive number in your model.
Absolutely. Daloopa models are meant to be used in any situation. However, do note that the source links bring you to a web portal hosted by us in the cloud, and the plugin fetches data from our database in the cloud. If you are offline, you will still have full access to all your data, but the links and plugin will only work when you are back online.
