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. Keep in mind, other fees such, Gold subscription fees, wire transfer fees, and paper statement fees may apply to your brokerage account. Please see Robinhood Financial's Fee Schedule to learn more.
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.

New Music Spotlight: Why Sushmita Srivastava’s “Aa Sama Le” Deserves a Place on Your Playlist

In an era where music listeners are constantly searching for authenticity, emotional depth, and meaningful lyrics, Sushmita Srivastava’s latest release, “Aa Sama Le,” arrives as a refreshing and heartfelt addition to the independent music landscape.
The newly released track combines soulful vocals, reflective lyrics, and cinematic musical arrangements to create an experience that feels both personal and universally relatable. Rather than focusing on conventional romantic themes, the song explores the emotions that often remain after important moments have passed—memories, longing, reflection, and emotional connection.
One of the strongest aspects of “Aa Sama Le” is its ability to create an atmosphere. From the opening notes, listeners are drawn into a world of nostalgia and introspection. The song does not rush its message. Instead, it allows emotions to unfold naturally, giving audiences the opportunity to connect with the lyrics through their own personal experiences.
Sushmita Srivastava’s vocal performance plays a central role in the song’s impact. Her voice carries both strength and vulnerability, striking a balance that enhances the emotional depth of the composition. Rather than relying on technical complexity, her delivery focuses on sincerity, making the performance feel genuine and emotionally engaging.
Behind the song is songwriter, composer, and producer Prem Nikaju, whose creative vision shapes every aspect of the track. His lyrical approach emphasizes emotional honesty, while the composition supports the song’s reflective mood. Guitar contributions from Amborish Saikia add texture and warmth, helping create a rich musical backdrop for the vocals.
The production quality is equally noteworthy. Through the mixing and mastering expertise of Sumit Nandi, the track achieves a polished sound without sacrificing its emotional character. Meanwhile, the visual production by Prince Pratap Singh complements the song’s themes through thoughtful and cinematic imagery.
As independent music continues to gain recognition, songs like “Aa Sama Le” demonstrate the power of artistic authenticity. Rather than following mainstream formulas, the track focuses on storytelling and emotional resonance, qualities that increasingly appeal to modern listeners.
Available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, JioSaavn, Gaana, SoundCloud, and other leading platforms, “Aa Sama Le” is a song that rewards repeated listening. For anyone who appreciates soulful melodies, heartfelt lyrics, and meaningful musical experiences, this release is certainly worth exploring.

The Surgeon Everyone Sees on the Way to the Hamptons: Dr. David Pincus of Pincus Plastic Surgery
Long Island, N.Y, Jun 13, 2026, ZEX PR WIRE — Anyone who has traveled east toward the Hamptons this summer may have noticed a familiar face looking back at them from one of Long Island’s most visible billboards. Positioned along a heavily traveled corridor that welcomes thousands of residents, commuters, and visitors each week, the billboard featuring Dr. David Pincus has become a striking landmark on one of the region’s most recognized routes.
For Dr. David Pincus, founder of Pincus Plastic Surgery, the billboard represents far more than an advertising campaign. It reflects years of patient relationships, steady growth, and a reputation built through consistent results and personalized care. While many businesses compete for attention, Dr. Pincus sees the billboard as an extension of a practice that has always focused on visibility through trust rather than volume.
A Landmark Presence on a Road Known Around the Country
The drive to the Hamptons has long been associated with summer travel, weekend escapes, and some of the most recognizable destinations in New York. Along that route, billboards often become part of the landscape, catching the attention of drivers making the journey east.
The Pincus Plastic Surgery billboard has quickly become one of those landmarks.
Whether someone is heading to a summer home, a beach getaway, or simply making the trip for work, the billboard creates a moment of recognition. It places the name of Dr. David Pincus directly in front of a diverse audience that spans Long Island and beyond.
In a digital age dominated by social media feeds and online advertisements, the impact of a large-format billboard remains surprisingly powerful. Unlike digital promotions that disappear with a swipe, a billboard occupies physical space and becomes part of a community’s visual environment.
For many residents, the billboard serves as an introduction. For others, it reinforces a name they may already know through patient referrals, online research, or local reputation.
Building Recognition Through Patient Experience
While the billboard has generated attention, Dr. Pincus believes its significance comes from what it represents rather than where it stands.
Pincus Plastic Surgery has grown through a patient-centered approach that emphasizes communication, education, and individualized treatment planning. Over the years, the practice has earned the trust of patients seeking both surgical and non-surgical aesthetic procedures.
Dr. Pincus is known for taking a measured approach to cosmetic enhancement. His philosophy centers on helping patients achieve balanced, natural-looking results that complement their existing features rather than dramatically altering them.
That approach has resonated with patients who increasingly value subtlety and authenticity.
As the practice expanded, visibility naturally followed. The billboard simply provides a larger platform for a reputation that was already developing through patient experiences and word-of-mouth recommendations.
“Every practice has a story,” says Dr. Pincus. “For us, that story has always been about relationships. The billboard is highly visible, but it ultimately reflects the trust that patients have placed in our team over the years.”
A Different Kind of Plastic Surgery Conversation
The perception of plastic surgery has evolved significantly over the past decade.
Patients today are often less interested in dramatic transformations and more interested in refinement. They want to look refreshed, confident, and comfortable in their appearance. They also want to work with providers who prioritize education and transparency.
Dr. Pincus has observed this shift firsthand.
Many patients arrive with a strong understanding of available treatments, having spent considerable time researching procedures and outcomes. At the same time, they are looking for guidance from a surgeon who can help separate trends from reality.
This demand for thoughtful care has helped shape the identity of Pincus Plastic Surgery.
Rather than focusing on one-size-fits-all solutions, Dr. Pincus works closely with each patient to develop a plan that reflects individual anatomy, goals, and expectations. The result is a more personalized experience that prioritizes long-term satisfaction.
As public conversations around aesthetic medicine continue to mature, practices that emphasize education and realistic expectations are becoming increasingly valued.
More Than Marketing
Billboards are often viewed purely as advertising tools, but the story behind this campaign is also one of business growth.
Establishing a presence on one of Long Island’s most recognized travel routes represents a milestone for the practice. It signals confidence, stability, and a commitment to serving the community for years to come.
For Dr. Pincus, the decision to invest in such a visible location was not about making the loudest statement. It was about creating a recognizable point of connection.
Patients frequently tell him they have seen the billboard during their travels. Some mention it during consultations. Others share photos with friends and family. The billboard has become a conversation starter, generating awareness while reinforcing familiarity.
That familiarity matters in healthcare, where trust remains one of the most important factors in decision-making.
People often spend significant time researching physicians before scheduling a consultation. Seeing a name repeatedly in the community can help create a sense of recognition long before the first appointment.
Representing Long Island’s Growing Aesthetic Community
Long Island has become home to a thriving healthcare and wellness landscape. Patients no longer feel the need to travel into Manhattan to access high-quality aesthetic care. Increasingly, they are finding experienced providers closer to home.
Dr. Pincus believes this trend reflects the broader evolution of healthcare across the region.
As local practices continue to expand their capabilities, patients benefit from greater access to advanced treatments and personalized care. The growth of Pincus Plastic Surgery is part of that larger story.
The billboard serves as a visible reminder that expertise can be found within the local community.
For patients seeking cosmetic procedures, convenience matters. Being able to establish a relationship with a trusted surgeon nearby creates continuity and accessibility throughout the treatment journey.
Looking Toward the Future
As Pincus Plastic Surgery continues to grow, Dr. Pincus remains focused on the same principles that helped build the practice from the beginning.
Patient trust, clear communication, and consistent results remain at the center of every decision. While the billboard may attract attention, the long-term success of the practice will continue to depend on the experiences patients have once they walk through the door.
The visibility generated by the campaign reflects a broader moment for the practice. It highlights years of dedication while introducing the Pincus Plastic Surgery name to new audiences across Long Island.
For drivers heading toward the Hamptons, the billboard may be a memorable landmark along a familiar route. For Dr. David Pincus, it represents something more meaningful: a growing connection with the community he serves and a reminder that reputation is built one patient at a time.
