With that VIX spike, it'd almost seem like pretty far otm puts on the SPX and SPY are almost guaranteed money, and QQQ to a lesser degree, although I guess cash is always a position.
And all you gotta understand are which strikes are the ones that ‘expand’ the most with the expected move…assuming you expect the right move…and the right timeframe. 😉
Otherwise, it is like shooting fish in a barrel. 😁

I’d say just remember that the movement in the VIX is a symptom, not the cause.

Odds on tripping the circuit breakers?

I'm thinking some of this was already baked in over the last several days / weeks. But I'm not sure most players thought they'd go for the whole pie instead of just the couple slices on the east end, at least since Monday night.

I’m up almost 5% for the day right now.
People buy insurance for so many things…except their equities and investments.

Essentially, I bought double…in a costless or ‘free’ strategy. Crazy, right? 😁
 
Last Wednesday, everybody thought was going to be invasion day......nothing......since then "it could be any time now"........Putin is just laughing as he watches the media circus unfold.All those sanctions coming his way don't seem to phase him.......Bill P. is right.....This is going to get ugly when it DOES happen, that's for sure!

Another tidbit from "Today In History".....".March 8, 1817..... The New York Stock & Exchange Board, which had its beginnings in 1792, was formally organized; it later became known as the New York Stock Exchange."

Just getting interesting.
I keep telling people to hedge. Nobody really does, AFAIK. Spike in the VIX is paying pretty well right now. Gonna fund a lot of purchasing when the time comes.
Still this.
South (just) of 32k is a target. Somewhere just North of 4k for the S&P. Time will tell.
And finally this. Prediction/target quoted from late Jan ’22. Should’ve said yesterday.

Good times, until I see the tax bill.

That’s all good. 👍 Gotta do what you gotta do, and nobody should second guess winning trades.

But most of all, I’m glad the call that ‘return to $600’ was correct in a timely fashion.😊

Mine (LRCX) are making me 6.5% annually. And with my targets in mind...no plans to sell soon. I already made enough for the year.

I'm still working at LRCX. We're looking to be major beneficiaries of the AI movement. At the last employee meeting, our CEO mentioned AI and "advanced packaging" of computer chips as major drivers for us going forward. We literally have 100% market share in some processes related to advanced packaging.

I like when we dig this thread up after some time off. Cool to look back at the thoughts and trends.
