Traders Hedging Stocks at Record Highs Dabble in Exotic Options
Investors looking to protect against a pullback with stocks at peaks are venturing beyond plain-vanilla options. The steady grind higher in the S&P 500 Index has pushed most gauges of implied and realized volatility to the lowest levels in months — in some cases years. The collapse in volatility after the April tariff shock has surprised many investors, given the geopolitical tensions and uncertainty around the impact of levies on corporate earnings.

The End of Work As We Know It
For centuries, work has defined us. It has given us identity, purpose, and status in society. But what happens when work, our source of income, itself begins to disappear? Not because of war, depression, or outsourcing, but because of algorithms. What does it mean to work in an AI-driven economy? I spent this month of July interviewing several experts from diverse corners of the labor landscape. Through these conversations, a complex and often contradictory picture emerges, one filled with both promise and peril, efficiency and exploitation, displacement and dignity. From the C-suite, the AI revolution is viewed with a mixture of excitement and urgency. Dr. Elijah Clark, a consultant who advises companies on AI implementation, is blunt about the bottom line. 'CEOs are extremely excited about the opportunities that AI brings,' he says. 'As a CEO myself, I can tell you, I'm extremely excited about it. I've laid off employees myself because of AI. AI doesn't go on strike. It doesn't ask for a pay raise. These things that you don't have to deal with as a CEO.' This unvarnished perspective reveals a fundamental truth about the corporate embrace of AI: it is, at its core, a quest for efficiency and profitability. And in this quest, human labor is often seen as a liability, an obstacle to be overcome. Dr. Clark recalls firing 27 out of 30 student workers in a sales enablement team he was leading. 'We can get done in less than a day, less than an hour, what they were taking a week to produce,' he explains. 'In the area of efficiency, it made more sense to get rid of people.' Peter Miscovich, JLL's Global Future of Work Leader, sees AI as an 'accelerant of a trend that was underway for the last 40, 50 years.' He describes a 'decoupling' of headcount from real estate and revenue, a trend that is now being supercharged by AI. 'Today, 20% of the Fortune 500 in 2025 has less headcount than they had in 2015,' he notes. But Miscovich also paints a picture of a future where the physical workplace is not obsolete but transformed. He envisions 'experiential workplaces' that are 'highly amenitized' and 'highly desirable,' like a 'boutique hotel.' In these 'Lego-ized' offices, with their movable walls and plug-and-play technology, the goal is to create a 'magnet' for talent. 'You can whip the children, or you can give the children candy,' he says. 'And, you know, people respond better to the candy than to the whipping.' Yet, even in this vision of a more pleasant workplace, the specter of displacement looms large. Miscovich acknowledges that companies are planning for a future where headcount could be 'reduced by 40%.' And Dr. Clark is even more direct. 'A lot of CEOs are saying that, knowing that they're going to come up in the next six months to a year and start laying people off,' he says. 'They're looking for ways to save money at every single company that exists.' While executives and consultants talk of efficiency and experience, a very different story is being told by those on the front lines of the AI economy. Adrienne Williams, a former Amazon delivery driver and warehouse worker, offers a starkly different perspective. 'It's a new era in like forced labor,' she says. 'It's not slavery, because slavery is different. You can't move around, but it is forced labor.' Williams, a research fellow at the Distributed AI Research Institute (DAIR) that focuses on examining the social and ethical impact of AI, is referring to the invisible work that we all do to train AI systems every time we use our phones, browse social media, or shop online. 'You're already training AI,' she explains. 'And so as they're taking jobs away, if we just had the ability to understand who was taking our data, how it was being used and the revenue it was making, we should have some sovereignty over that.' This 'invisible work' is made visible in the stories of gig workers like Krystal Kauffman, who has been working on Amazon's Mechanical Turk platform since 2015. She has witnessed firsthand the shift from a diverse range of tasks to a near-exclusive focus on 'data labeling, data annotation, things like that.' This work, she explains, is the human labor that powers the AI boom. 'Human labor is absolutely powering the AI boom,' she says. 'And I think one thing that a lot of people say is, 'teach AI to think,' but it's actually, at the end of the day, it's not thinking. It's recognizing patterns.' The conditions for this hidden workforce are often exploitative. Kauffman, who is also a research fellow at DAIR, describes how workers are 'hidden,' 'underpaid,' and denied basic benefits. She also speaks of the psychological toll of content moderation, a common form of AI-related work. 'We talked to somebody who was moderating video content of a war in which his family was involved in a genocide, and he saw his own cousin through annotating data,' she recalls. 'And then he was told to get over it and get back to work.' Williams, who has worked in both warehouses and classrooms, has seen the harmful effects of AI in a variety of settings. In schools, she says, AI-driven educational tools are creating a 'very carceral' environment where children are suffering from 'migraines, back pain, neck pain.' In warehouses, workers are 'ruining their hands, getting tendonitis so bad they can't move them,' and pregnant women are being fired for needing 'modified duties.' 'I've talked to women who have lost their babies because Amazon refused to give them modified duties,' she says. In the face of this technological onslaught, there are those who are fighting to preserve the dignity of human labor. Ai-jen Poo, president of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, is a leading voice in this movement. She champions 'care work'—the work of nurturing children, supporting people with disabilities, and caring for older adults—as a prime example of the kind of 'human-anchored' work that technology cannot easily replace. 'That work of enabling potential and supporting dignity and agency for other human beings is at its heart human work,' she says. 'Now, what I think needs to happen is that technology should be leveraged to support quality of work and quality of life as the fundamental goals, as opposed to displacing human workers.' Poo argues for a fundamental rethinking of our economic priorities. 'I would create a whole new foundation of safety net that workers could expect,' she says, 'that they could have access to basic human needs like health care, paid time off, paid leave, affordable child care, affordable long-term care. I would raise the minimum wage so that at least people who are working are earning a wage that can allow them to pay the bills.' For the care workers Poo represents, their work is more than just a job; it's a 'calling.' 'The median income for a home care worker is $22,000 per year,' she notes. 'And people in our membership have done this work for three decades. They see it as a calling, and what they would really like is for these jobs to offer the kind of economic security and dignity that they deserve.' The conversations with these specialists reveal a stark choice, a fork in the road for the future of work. On the one hand, there is the path of unchecked technological determinism, where AI is used to maximize profits, displace workers, and deepen existing inequalities. Adrienne Williams warns that AI has the potential to 'exacerbate all these problems we already have,' particularly for 'poor people across the board.' On the other hand, there is the possibility of a more democratic and humane future, one where technology is harnessed to serve human needs and values. Ai-jen Poo believes that we can 'democratize' AI by giving 'working-class people the ability to shape these tools and to have a voice.' She points to the work of the National Domestic Workers Alliance, which is 'building our own tools' to empower care workers. Krystal Kauffman also sees hope in the growing movement of worker organizations. 'The company wants to keep this group at the bottom,' she says of gig workers, 'but I think what we're seeing is that group saying 'no more, we exist,' and starting to push back.' Ultimately, the question of the purpose of work in an AI-driven economy is a question of values. Is the purpose of our economy to generate wealth for a few, or to create a society where everyone has the opportunity to live a dignified and meaningful life? Dr. Clark is clear that from the CEO's perspective, the 'humanness inside of the whole thing is not happening.' The focus is on 'growth and that's maintaining the business and efficiency and profit.' But for Ai-jen Poo, the meaning of work is something much deeper. 'Work should be about a way that people feel a sense of pride in their contributions to their families, their communities and to society as a whole,' she says. 'Feel a sense of belonging and have recognition for their contribution and feel like they have agency over their future.' The question is not just whether machines will do what we do, but whether they will unmake who we are. The warning signs are everywhere: companies building systems not to empower workers but to erase them, workers internalizing the message that their skills, their labor and even their humanity are replaceable, and an economy barreling ahead with no plan for how to absorb the shock when work stops being the thing that binds us together. It is not inevitable that this ends badly. There are choices to be made: to build laws that actually have teeth, to create safety nets strong enough to handle mass change, to treat data labor as labor, and to finally value work that cannot be automated, the work of caring for each other and our communities. But we do not have much time. As Dr. Clark told me bluntly: 'I am hired by CEOs to figure out how to use AI to cut jobs. Not in ten years. Right now.' The real question is no longer whether AI will change work. It is whether we will let it change what it means to be human.

7 Signs You're Feeling Insecure About Money — and How To Build Confidence
For a variety of reasons, from limited financial literacy to persistent financial struggles, financial insecurity is a common experience for many Americans of all income levels. For You: Check Out: Nathan Astle, a client counselor at Beyond Finance, said most people with financial insecurity don't suffer from a lack of intelligence or willpower, 'but … they carry the weight of past mistakes, shame and uncertainty in a system that rarely allows for second chances.' He and other experts explain some of the common signs of financial insecurity and how to begin building confidence. 1. Reacting Strongly to Money Conversations A clear sign that someone is feeling financially insecure is how they react when the topic of finances comes up, said Grace Moser, owner of the women's lifestyle blog, Chasing Foxes. 'Sometimes they might act irritated or avoidant, changing the topic or making you feel uncomfortable for having brought it up,' she said. 2. Feeling Anxious About Spending or Bills Another common indicator is anxiety that crops up when facing financial tasks that require taking an honest look at your money — from checking your bank balance to opening bills. 'For people who are feeling financially insecure, it can sometimes feel better to pretend it doesn't exist or to procrastinate looking at it,' Moser said. That anxiety can manifest during everyday spending — whether to shop, have dinner with friends or some other experience that involves payment. 'They're not always aware of how much they have in the bank, and the idea of having their card declined causes them a lot of stress,' Moser said. Explore More: 3. Procrastinating on Money Decisions Putting off important financial tasks or payments can be another sign of financial insecurity. Financially insecure people tend to do things last minute when it comes to important purchases, Moser said. 'For instance, if they know that they need to purchase tickets to attend their sister's wedding in a neighboring state, they might procrastinate, even if that means they end up spending more,' she explained. 4. Feeling Guilty About Money Missteps Everyone makes occasional financial mistakes. However, financially insecure people may feel outsized guilt for common mistakes like missing a payment, carrying high-interest debt or overspending, Astle pointed out. 'While guilt can be constructive, serving as a signal that change is needed, it becomes harmful when it turns into shame,' he said. 'When shame takes over, we begin to feel that we are our financial mistakes, rather than we made a financial mistake.' Shame spirals can cloud judgment and prevent clear financial decision-making. 5. Internalizing Money Insecurity Over time, insecure thoughts can harden into self-limiting beliefs, Astle said. 'And these beliefs shape our behavior. We avoid looking at our bank accounts, delay decisions and even seek advice from 'gurus' who promote rigid, black-and-white thinking about the 'right' way to manage money.' It's a vicious cycle. 6. Comparing Your Finances to Others Another sign of financial insecurity is comparing your financial situation to others', according to Julian Merrick, founder and CEO of Supertrader. 'When a friend buys a new car or moves into a bigger place, they feel like they are falling behind,' he said. 'To keep up, they start spending money they don't really have, which only deepens the problem.' 7. Relying Too Much on Credit To Get By Heavy reliance on credit cards to cover everyday expenses — and spending beyond the income actually coming in — is another red flag of financial insecurity, Merrick said. 'When someone is using credit to get through each month, not for one-time emergencies, it means they're stuck in a loop with no breathing room,' he said. How To Build Confidence Nathan Astle offered several strategies for rebuilding what he calls 'self-mistrust.' Look for exceptions: If your brain is telling you, 'I always mess up,' try to identify a time when that wasn't true. Explore your environment: Reflect on moments where you felt financially grounded. What emotions were present? Paying attention to the context of those experiences can help you separate your financial behaviors from your identity. Redefine what trust means: Trusting yourself doesn't mean you'll always get it right. It means believing that you can learn and adapt. Build financial literacy through trusted sources: Start with reputable, unbiased sources like Investopedia, or local library programs. If something feels judgmental or overly simplistic, it may not be the education you need. Talk to someone you trust: Self-mistrust and shame thrive in isolation. Merrick added, 'To build confidence, start with one small win.' That might mean tracking every dollar spent for one week or committing to save $20 every Friday. Remember: building confidence takes time, but small actions create real momentum.
