Your current options for finding stock trades:

Option 1: Spend 4 hours daily reading everything online
Option 2: Pay $500/month for paywalled newsletters and pray
Option 3: Get yesterday's news from mainstream financial media

All three keep you broke.

Here's where the actual edge lives:

4. Term Of The Day 📚

Basis Risk

📖Definition: The risk that a hedge (like a futures or options position) won’t move in perfect inverse correlation with the underlying exposure you’re trying to protect

📊Why it matters: Even “hedged” portfolios can suffer gains/losses if the price relationship between the hedge and the exposure widens or behaves unexpectedly. Managing basis risk is key to effective risk reduction

💡Example: A jet-fuel buyer hedges with crude oil futures. If crude falls 5% but jet fuel falls only 2% due to refinery outages, the hedge over-protects and creates a mismatch—the 3% difference is basis risk.

This May, Consensus will welcome 20,000 to Miami for America’s largest conference for crypto, Web3, & AI.
