The expected … return from holding a call (put) option is a decreasing (increasing) function of the volatility of the underlying. These … portfolios decrease (increase) with underlying stock volatility. This finding is not due to cross-sectional variation in expected …

This paper proposes an option pricing model which can estimate the market’s expected return and the market’s uncertainty of this return while complying with various complex characteristics of real world markets. First, it is proposed that the market is not homogenous; the market is made up...
