Financial markets don't simply reflect opinions—they price expectations. This interactive virtual session will help participants move beyond binary thinking by exploring how investors can translate their views on future outcomes into structured market expressions. 

Using prediction market frameworks, attendees will learn how to convert probabilities into prices, identify potential market edge and better understand what today's markets are signaling. The session will introduce two key contract structures:

• Yes/No Contracts – Expressing conviction around all-or-nothing outcomes.

• Plus (Spread) Contracts – Capturing directionally correct views across a range of potential outcomes.

The discussion will also connect these concepts to the broader S&P 500® Index ecosystem, highlighting how liquidity and market structure help support these products.

Who Should Attend?

This complimentary class is designed for:

• Newer investors looking to build a stronger foundation in how financial markets price expectations.

• Individuals with limited or developing market experience seeking practical ways to interpret market probabilities.

• Experienced investors interested in fresh approaches to evaluating risk, conviction and translating opinions into actionable trading ideas.

Whether you're just beginning your investing journey or looking to expand your market toolkit, this session offers valuable insights into understanding expectations rather than simply predicting outcomes.

The event will feature expert perspectives from:

• Stacey Gilbert, Sr. Director, The Options Institute

• Gianni Di Poce, Analyst, The Mercator LLC
