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.

Range Products Explores the Benefits of Sandalwood Essential Oil in Natural Wellness Practices
Australia, 1st May 2026 – Range Products, a Perth-based supplier of essential oils and raw ingredients, has released new information outlining the potential applications of sandalwood essential oil in natural wellness practices. The announcement reflects sustained interest in plant-based ingredients and their role in personal care and lifestyle routines.
The update provides an overview of sandalwood essential oil, derived from the heartwood of sandalwood trees, and its longstanding use in traditional practices across multiple regions. Known for its distinctive aroma, the oil has historically been incorporated into skincare formulations, aromatherapy blends, and relaxation routines.
According to Range Products, sandalwood essential oil is frequently associated with calming properties and is commonly used in products designed to support relaxation and mindfulness. In addition, the oil is often included in skincare preparations due to its perceived compatibility with a range of skin types. Increased awareness of ingredient sourcing and formulation transparency has contributed to renewed attention on oils such as sandalwood.
Range Products reported that internal research and supplier data indicate growing demand for traditional essential oils, particularly those with established historical use. The company maintains a catalogue of more than 500 items, including essential oils, carrier oils, and base ingredients, all subject to independent quality testing.
Penny Coupland, Business Owner of Range Products, commented on the announcement: “Sandalwood essential oil continues to attract attention due to its longstanding presence in traditional wellness practices. The intention is to provide clear, factual information about its properties and uses so that individuals and businesses can make informed decisions when incorporating it into formulations or routines.”
The company’s overview also addresses sourcing considerations, noting that sustainability and ethical harvesting practices remain key concerns within the essential oil industry. Sandalwood, in particular, has faced supply challenges in the past, leading to increased emphasis on responsible cultivation and traceability. Suppliers are selected based on adherence to quality and sustainability standards.
In addition to product availability, Range Products provides educational materials intended to support safe and informed use of essential oils. These resources include formulation guides and more than 60 publicly accessible recipes covering applications such as cleaning solutions, skincare items, and candle-making. These materials are designed to support both small-scale creators and established manufacturers.
The announcement also highlighted logistical capabilities, including wholesale pricing options and dispatch timelines. Most warehouse stock is dispatched within two days, and a Click & Collect service is available at the Welshpool location. While operational details were included, the primary focus of the update remains on the broader context of sandalwood essential oil within natural wellness trends.
Industry observers have noted that consumer preferences are shifting towards ingredient transparency and simplified formulations. Essential oils, including sandalwood essential oil, are often positioned within this movement due to their single-ingredient nature and historical usage. However, proper dilution and adherence to safety guidelines remain essential when using concentrated oils.
Coupland also addressed the company’s perspective on future developments: “Ongoing interest in natural ingredients is expected to support further exploration of essential oils and their applications. Continued investment in quality assurance and educational resources will remain a priority as the industry evolves and new information becomes available.”
Range Products operates from its facility at 6/138 Radium Street, Welshpool, Western Australia, serving both local and national customers. The company’s distribution model includes online ordering and in-store access, with a focus on maintaining consistent supply and product integrity.

Press Release
Argenta Silver Assay Results Support District Scale Potential of the El Quevar Project
On April 28, 2026, Argenta Silver released a 4th set of assay results from its ongoing 2025–2026 diamond drilling campaign at the El Quevar Project in Salta Province, Argentina. The latest results highlight significant high-grade silver mineralization at the Mani-Copan and Argentina exploration targets, located 800 meters and 1,500 meters, respectively, from the eastern edge of the current Mineral Resource
Canada, 1st May 2026 – Global Stocks News – Sponsored content disseminated on behalf of Argenta Silver. On April 28, 2026, Argenta Silver (TSXV: AGAG) (OTCQB: AGAGF) (FSE: T1K) released a 4th set of assay results from its ongoing 2025–2026 diamond drilling campaign at the El Quevar Project in Salta Province, Argentina.
The latest results highlight significant high-grade silver mineralization at the Mani-Copan and Argentina exploration targets, located 800 meters and 1,500 meters, respectively, from the eastern edge of the current Mineral Resource
Notably, drill hole QVD-444 at Mani-Copan intercepted 1,385 g/t Ag over 4.0 meters, successfully validating high-grade results previously identified from surface samples (see press release dated February 23, 2026).
Furthermore, Argenta discovered a new, previously untested mineralized zone at the Argentina target, where all drill holes have encountered high-grade silver.
When Argenta purchased the El Quevar project in October 2024, investors were focused on the Yaxtché deposit, which has an indicated mineral resource of 45.3 million ounces of silver from 2.93 million tonnes grading 482 g/t Ag. (1)
Argenta’s land package is 57,000 hectares, 160 X bigger than NYC’s Central Park. Less than 3% of the property has been explored.
Joaquin Marias, President, CEO and Director of Argenta, embarked on a mission to “significantly expand the known mineralized footprint and underscore the vast, district-scale potential of the El Quevar Project.”
“The high-grade intercept at Mani-Copan confirms meaningful silver mineralization beyond the current resource envelope, while consistent high-grade results at the Argentina target further expand the footprint of the system,” stated Marias in the April 28 2026 press release.
“Importantly, Mani-Copan and the Yaxtché deposit share a comparable geochemical signature; however, Mani-Copan is distinguished by exceptionally high-grade surface samples, a characteristic not observed at the Yaxtché Deposit,” added Marias.
“With two rigs active, more than 14,500 metres completed, and additional assays pending, we are systematically advancing El Quevar to define the full scale of this silver system.”
Figure 1. Map displaying the exploratory drill holes at Mani-Copan, Argentina, and Andrea targets, located 800, 1,500 and 1,100 meters from the eastern border of the Yaxtché deposit. Note the wide distance between the targets and their proximity to the Yaxtché deposit, emphasizing the vast district-scale potential of El Quevar.
In the April 30, 2026, video below, Vanessa Bogaert, VP of Investor Relations & Communications of Argenta Silver Corp breaks down the significance of the news.
”Mani-Copan shares a similar geochemical signature with the Yaxtché deposit, which hosts our current resource,” stated Bogaert in the YouTube video. “But what differentiates it is a strong high-grade surface expression, something we don’t see at Yaxtché. That’s a key vector, and it suggests Mani-Copan could represent a distinct and highly prospective part of the system”.
”At the same time, we’ve made a new discovery at the Argentina target where we’re seeing grades like 725 grams per tonne over 3 metres, along with broader mineralized intervals.”
“When you step back, the takeaway is this: El Quevar is evolving from an open-ended resource into a much larger, district-scale silver system, with multiple high-grade zones emerging beyond what was previously known,” concluded Bogart.
The Province of Salta in Argentina has implemented a Provincial Plan for Sustainable Mining Development 2030, which includes infrastructure, education, and state modernization initiatives.
“The Government of Salta intends to ensure the development of the mining industry,” states the 2030 Plan, “promoting more investments that foster exploration and production of minerals such as gold, copper, lithium, silver, among others, always under competitive standards of environmental care and support to the communities.”
In a recent wide-ranging interview with Connect 4 Capital, Argenta CEO Joaquin Marias spoke about the advantages of operating in Salta and the importance of connecting with local communities.
“Salta has been the heart of the lithium triangle for many years,” confirmed Marias in the YouTube video. “Salta has a rich geology with a lot of potential for different styles of mineralization. It’s a productive province. They produce grains, cattle and a lot of other things, including oil and gas.”
“I am a geologist, I was born in Argentina, I have a big network of contacts in the country,” continued Marias. “The government and the local communities understand the productive cycle of the industries.”
“After two days at the El Quevar office, I drove into the mountains and met with of the Chief of the indigenous community,” Marias told Guy Bennett, the CEO of Global Stocks News (GSN). “Being familiar with the local culture and language made the first meeting comfortable and productive”.
“I introduced myself to the Chief, told her what we were planning to do and asked first for her blessing, and secondly for her permission to conduct work programs at El Quevar.”
“Before leaving, we embraced, and I noticed tears in her eyes. She said, ‘I did not expect a mining executive to come to me directly. We have never been asked for permission. This is powerful to me.’”
“A big portion of our philosophy, of the culture that I have brought to the company, is that we need to have the communities involved,” Marias told Connect 4 Capital. “Fifty percent of our workforce comes from local communities.”
“It’s been surprising to us, but some of the leaders from the community have never been to the site before. They are visiting for the first time, because we brought them. Those little actions are the ones that add value and build trust.”
Mining executives tend to fit into one of three categories: geologists, communicators or capital markets experts. It is relatively rare to find a CEO with training, expertise and a track record in all three disciplines.
Argenta is pursuing a dual-track growth strategy: 40% of the current drill program targets Resource Expansion to strengthen the existing resource base, while the remaining 60% is focused on unlocking new discoveries beyond the existing footprint.
To date, AGAG has completed over 14,500 meters across 61 holes, representing more than half of the total 25,000-meter program. Laboratory analysis is well underway; over 300 work orders have been submitted, with 40% of these results currently pending.
