A long straddle on BBH profits from large moves in either direction and is a classic play into binary events like earnings, product announcements, or macro releases. A short straddle profits when VanEck Biotech ETF stays range-bound and implied volatility contracts.

Comparing the BBH straddle price to historical realized moves helps you judge whether the market is overpaying or underpaying for volatility.
