Very short description for use in the program to help attendees understand more than a title can describe

This study examines the option-implied information derived from exchange traded funds (ETFs), as well as positively leveraged and negatively leverage exchange traded funds (LETF).  Preliminary results suggest that daily portfolios created on large deviations from put-call parity (PCP) outperform their targeted multiples, whereas portfolios created on smaller deviations tend to underperform their respective targets.  Furthermore, leveraged ETF raw returns experience relative increases when put-call parity deviations are high.
