Use Volatility In Your Favor With Robinhood Options Trading In April, Volatility Index VIX Hit Highest Mark
–News Direct–
By Meg Flippin, Benzinga
Thanks to their large upside potential, many seasoned traders choose to trade options to play the markets. Fintechs like Robinhood have made accessing the market easier for seasoned traders to fine-tune their strategies, building based on their trading level.
With inflation remaining stubborn, the markets appearing to be waiting for the Federal Reserves next move on interest rates and the U.S. about to enter what is expected to be a polarizing presidential election, volatility has been high. In April, the VIX Index which Wall Street uses to gauge volatility in the market hit its highest level since late October 2023, when the Israel-Hamas conflict began. Year-to-date, the VIX Index is up more than 12%.
Options Abound With Options Trading
While volatility may scare buy-and-hold investors, for active options traders, some look at it as an opportunity. After all, with options trading, investors can engage in a variety of diverse strategies that have the potential to work in all sorts of market conditions, whether it's speculating stocks will go up or down based on their bearish and bullish outlooks. Options are also cheaper than buying shares outright, creating leverage, which means the gains on your investment could be amplified as can losses. However, options expire, and you can lose your entire investment in a short period of time. Some strategies present a potential for substantial or even unlimited losses.
Then there are the hedging capabilities that come with options, which can help mitigate the dangers of high-risk, high-reward instruments. If an investor is worried a stock is going to fall they can purchase puts that enable them to sell the stock at a strike price, regardless of where the stock falls prior to expiration of the option. The same cant be said of stocks. If shares tank, you dont have any downward protection other than to sell and limit your losses. However, if the stock goes up or doesnt move prior to expiration, the option will expire worthless and the loss is equal to the premium paid.
Leveling The Playing Field For Options Investors
Accessing options trading is getting even easier thanks to Robinhoods trading platform. Not only do customers get access to options but also advanced charts, including the ability to track and modify technical indicators such as moving average, relative strength index and moving average convergence divergence. Furthermore, there are no contract fees.*
Other powerful features of Robinhoods platform include the ability to save and monitor options contracts to see hypothetical returns and options rolling in which you can seamlessly adjust and extend your positions. And lets not forget 24-hour support. If you have a question on your option strategy even in the wee hours of the morning, Robinhood has you covered.
Even retirement accounts and cash account holders can trade options with Robinhood. The same cant be said of some of Robinhoods rivals.
Robinhoods efforts to improve access are not surprising. For some time now, the company has been on a mission to level the playing field when it comes to investing by providing access to an array of investment and retirement products, keeping costs down and commissions at zero (other fees apply). Take Robinhood Gold for one example. Gold subscribers get 5% APY on uninvested cash in their brokerage account, a 1% boost on brokerage transfers and instant deposits.
None of this is lost on options traders, which is why that part of Robinhoods business is growing, and options traders are taking note. Robinhood is making moves to grow its market share even more. We want to be number one in the active trader market. So active traders are very important for us, Robinhood CEO Vladimir Tenev said in a recent interview. They care about very specific things like performance, pricing, user experience. And we're making lots of investments there both in the user experience and in new product innovations that other competitors don't offer, 24-hour market being a great example there.
Options trading is growing in popularity as regular retail investors learn its virtues. Robinhood wants to be a leader in the space and is pulling out all the stops to achieve that.

*There are no contract fees charged directly by Robinhood. However Robinhood does pass through certain fees charged by securities regulators and exchanges.
Commission-free trading of stocks, ETFs and options refers to $0 commissions for Robinhood Financial self-directed individual cash or margin brokerage accounts that trade U.S. listed securities and certain OTC securities electronically.

Options trading entails significant risk and is not appropriate for all customers. Customers must read and understand the Characteristics and Risks of Standardized Options before engaging in any options trading strategies. Options transactions are often complex and may involve the potential of losing the entire investment in a relatively short period of time. Certain complex options strategies carry additional risk, including the potential for losses that may exceed the original investment amount.
Robinhood Financial does not guarantee favorable investment outcomes. The past performance of a security or financial product does not guarantee future results or returns. Customers should consider their investment objectives and risks carefully before investing in options. Because of the importance of tax considerations to all options transactions, the customer considering options should consult their tax advisor as to how taxes affect the outcome of each options strategy. Supporting documentation for any claims, if applicable, will be furnished upon request.
Rolling options does not ensure a profit or guarantee against a loss. An investor may also end up compounding their losses. By rolling out, the duration is extended, which can also increase risks as there's more time for the underlying security's price to move unfavorably.
One of the key downsides of options vs stocks is that options contracts expire over time. For puts, If the stock price is at or above the strike price, the option expires worthless, and you can lose the money you paid for the options contract.
Risk of VIX options:
The prices of VIX options can fluctuate significantly and thus increase the risk for investors.
The VIX is a synthetic value that is calculated on the basis of option prices. Investors who invest in VIX options should therefore be aware of the special features of this asset class.
In some market situations, the VIX and thus also the prices of VIX options may not move in the expected direction. This means that in some cases VIX options may not help to reduce the risk of a portfolio, but rather increase it.
VIX options generally have a term of only a few months and are therefore more suitable for short-term trading.

Explora Books Releases Cinematic Book Trailer for Vivian R. Probst’s Award-Winning Death by Roses
Explora Books has released a cinematic book trailer for Death by Roses, the award-winning debut novel by Vivian R. Probst. Now available on YouTube, the trailer immerses viewers in the world of Mae Rose McElroy, a woman whose life begins only after death.
Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, 12th Jun 2026 – Death by Roses opens on a frosty mid-March morning in the McElroy farmhouse, where Mae Rose and her husband Art exist in a marriage long past its warmth. Art, a quietly devoted mechanic with a complicated history of infidelity and remorse, has spent thirty years trying and failing to bridge the emotional distance between them. On what will unknowingly be Mae Rose’s last day, he comes home with a wrecked 1974 VW Beetle, a box of orphaned barn kittens, and a bouquet of yellow roses.
When Mae Rose dies in one final undignified burst of rage, her story shifts beyond ordinary realism. In the afterlife, she is granted the perspective she refused while living: a clear-eyed view of the truths her closed heart kept her from seeing. From there, Probst’s narrative takes an inventive turn. A dying horror film legend, confronting her own mortality, enters into a mysterious supernatural bargain — and the lives of two very different women become linked through one remarkable second chance. The result is a story that is at once darkly comic and deeply moving, shaped by vivid characters, unexpected turns, and an unflinching understanding of human weakness.
Probst, who dedicated the novel to her late sister Cheryl Ann Cook and to mentor Fred Howard Loeb, brings emotional depth to themes of love, regret, and the enduring weight of a life marked by emotional distance. The novel is grounded in the rhythms of rural American life, richly observed domestic detail, and characters rendered with honesty and compassion. Mae Rose McElroy, stubborn and complicated as she is, emerges as a deeply sympathetic figure precisely because Probst refuses to simplify her.
The book trailer, released by Explora Books on YouTube, distills the novel’s essential tensions—missed chances, supernatural intervention, and an unlikely bond between two women—into a visually arresting cinematic preview designed to introduce new readers to Probst’s world.
Death by Roses by Vivian R. Probst is a darkly comic and emotionally resonant novel centered on a woman who gains a new understanding of her life only after death. Through its blend of supernatural fiction, domestic drama, and emotional introspection, the novel explores whether reconciliation, clarity, and change remain possible even after opportunities appear to have passed.
The official book trailer for Death by Roses is now streaming on YouTube. The book can be purchased on Amazon and other major digital bookstores.

Yijin Solution Broadens Metal Stamping Capabilities for Industrial Manufacturing Projects
Homestead, FL 33030, United States, 12th Jun 2026 – Yijin Solution, an innovative manufacturing company headquartered in Homestead, Florida, has announced an expansion of its metal stamping capabilities to support a wider range of industrial manufacturing projects. The development includes the addition of progressive die stamping, deep draw stamping, and multi-slide stamping processes, enabling the company to accommodate projects requiring high-volume production of complex metal components across multiple industry sectors.
The expanded operations are designed to serve manufacturers in the automotive, aerospace, medical, and energy industries that require stamped parts with consistent dimensional accuracy and repeatable quality. Components produced through the new stamping capabilities include brackets, enclosures, heat sinks, electrical terminals, and structural reinforcements commonly used in assembly-level applications. The initiative positions Yijin Solution to handle both thin-gauge precision parts and heavier structural components within a single production environment.
Yijin Solution has maintained a diversified manufacturing portfolio that includes CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, custom fastener production, die casting, injection molding, and 3D printing. The addition of broader metal stamping services extends the company’s ability to support projects from initial prototyping through full-scale production runs, allowing clients to consolidate multiple manufacturing requirements with a single provider rather than coordinating across several vendors.
“Expanding the metal stamping operations enables Yijin Solution to address a growing category of project requests that require high-volume stamped components with tight tolerances,” said Gavin Yi, CEO of Yijin Solution. “The investment was driven by a measurable increase in project inquiries involving stamped metal parts over the past year, and the company has responded by building the capacity and tooling infrastructure necessary to meet that demand reliably.”
Metal stamping is a cold-forming manufacturing process in which flat sheet metal is shaped into specific geometries using dies and mechanical or hydraulic presses. The technique is widely adopted across industries where large quantities of uniform parts are needed at scale with minimal material waste. Industry analysts have noted steady growth in demand for stamped components in recent years, driven in part by trends in automotive electrification, medical device miniaturization, and renewable energy infrastructure development.
The company’s expanded stamping operations include in-house tooling design and fabrication, material selection consultation, and quality inspection protocols aligned with ISO standards. Yijin Solution works with a range of metals, including stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, and carbon steel. Production capabilities now accommodate both short-run prototype stamping for design validation and long-run manufacturing contracts for established product lines. Tolerances, surface finish requirements, and secondary processing needs are evaluated during the project planning phase to ensure specifications are met prior to volume production.
Yijin Solution serves clients across North America and internationally, providing end-to-end manufacturing support from design consultation and engineering review through finished part delivery and logistics coordination. The company’s facility infrastructure supports concurrent production across multiple manufacturing disciplines, which allows project timelines to be consolidated when clients require parts produced through different processes as part of a single assembly or product.
“As manufacturing requirements continue to evolve across sectors such as electric vehicle production and medical technology, Yijin Solution intends to further invest in press capacity, tooling technology, and quality assurance infrastructure,” said Yi. “The objective is to ensure that production capabilities remain aligned with the technical demands and volume expectations of incoming projects over the next several years.”
Yijin Solution operates as a precision manufacturing service provider with capabilities spanning CNC machining, sheet metal fabrication, custom fasteners, die casting, injection molding, 3D printing, and metal stamping. The company supports projects across the automotive, aerospace, medical, and energy sectors from its base of operations in Homestead, Florida. The expansion of metal stamping capabilities represents the most recent in a series of operational investments aimed at increasing manufacturing capacity and broadening the range of projects the company can support.

Cloom Tech Expands Motorcycle Wire Harness Manufacturing for Modern Vehicle Applications
Medley, FL 33178, United States, 12th Jun 2026 – Cloom Tech, a renowned custom wire harness and cable assembly manufacturer, has announced an expansion of its motorcycle wire harness manufacturing operations. The move is designed to address growing demand from motorcycle producers and aftermarket suppliers seeking reliable, application-specific wiring solutions for modern vehicle platforms.
The expansion includes increased production capacity, additional engineering resources dedicated to motorcycle applications, and broader support for both prototype development and full-scale manufacturing runs. Cloom Tech has indicated that the initiative responds to shifts in the motorcycle sector, where evolving electronics, updated safety systems, and newer powertrain configurations are driving demand for more complex and customized wiring assemblies.
Motorcycle electrical systems have grown significantly more sophisticated in recent years. Modern motorcycles frequently incorporate electronic fuel injection, anti-lock braking systems, traction control, LED lighting arrays, and digital instrumentation. Each of these systems requires precise wiring that must perform reliably under conditions including vibration, temperature variation, and exposure to moisture. The increased complexity of these systems has created a parallel need for manufacturers capable of producing harnesses engineered to meet exacting specifications.
“The motorcycle segment has changed considerably over the past several years, and the wiring requirements have changed with it,” said Ivy Zhao, Spokesperson at Cloom Tech. “Expanding production in this area allows the company to serve motorcycle OEMs and aftermarket clients who need harnesses built to precise mechanical and electrical standards, with the durability that two-wheeled applications demand.”
Cloom Tech’s expanded motorcycle harness operations will cover a range of vehicle categories, including sport, touring, off-road, and electric motorcycle platforms. The company has noted that electric motorcycles, in particular, present distinct wiring challenges due to high-voltage battery management systems and regenerative braking components that require specialized connectors and insulation materials.
The manufacturing process at the Medley facility incorporates design support beginning at the prototype stage. Engineering teams work with clients to develop harness layouts, select appropriate materials, and validate designs against application-specific requirements before moving into volume production. This approach is intended to reduce development cycles and minimize the risk of field failures in finished vehicles.
Cloom Tech has also stated that the expansion will support clients across the automotive, robotics, medical device, and aerospace sectors by freeing capacity and streamlining workflow across the facility. The company currently manufactures custom wire harnesses and cable assemblies for a diverse client base, and the operational improvements associated with the motorcycle line expansion are expected to benefit the broader production environment.
Quality assurance remains a central focus of the expanded operations. Motorcycle wire harnesses produced at the facility undergo testing protocols that include continuity checks, insulation resistance measurements, and pull-force testing on crimped terminals. These procedures are designed to verify that each assembly meets the performance thresholds required for motorcycle applications, where component failure can have direct safety implications.
“The company intends to continue investing in its motorcycle harness capabilities as the market develops,” said Zhao. “As motorcycle technology advances and new platforms enter the market, the demand for precisely engineered wiring assemblies is expected to grow. Cloom Tech is positioning its operations to meet that demand with consistent quality and responsive production timelines.”
The expansion aligns with broader trends in the motorcycle manufacturing sector. Industry data indicates steady growth in global motorcycle production, driven in part by increasing urbanization, demand for fuel-efficient transportation, and the emergence of electric two-wheeled vehicles in both consumer and commercial segments. Manufacturers throughout the supply chain are adjusting operations to accommodate these shifts.
Cloom Tech specializes in manufacturing custom wire harnesses and cable assemblies. The company serves clients across multiple industries and provides design support from prototype through production. The motorcycle harness expansion represents the latest in a series of operational investments aimed at broadening the company’s manufacturing capabilities.
For additional information about motorcycle wire harness manufacturers and related industry developments, contact Cloom Tech at 9251 NW 112th Ave, Medley, FL 33178, USA.
