[IMG] VIX curve flattened a bit. Uneventful day.
PLUG: it has to do equity raises to stay in business. Just did one after its stock ran up, of course. I figure it'll keep doing well this quarter,...
[IMG] Muttah, muttah, muttah.... VIX curve is very steep and got a bit steeper today, and futures remain overvalued by my calculation, for...
Um, Twitter? It's got timelines related to every security out there. Folks sit there & talk all day about what they're doing. What you guys are...
[IMG] Decent day. Bearish on tomorrow far as S&P, but VIX futures are high enough that I saw no reason to add to my hedges there. They're much...
[IMG] 13th day of the 13th year, of course. Could have been a lot worse had I not held on to that SDS. That TGT short came through a bit too,...
To the original question: Yes. If explanation is necessary, double yes.
Yeah, I can definitely understand that feeling. Last week when it didn't go up before the employment report made me very nervous. Still holding on...
By way of intro here, biggest money I ever made was buying gold in the 300s in 2000 and 2001 and selling it in the 900s when it got there (don't...

Yep, I keep track of 10 and 21 day vol on the SPX. 21 day is closest to 30 calendar days. (365-104-10(or 9, this is the no of holidays)...
A few mistakes: 1 - Focusing on the front months too much. Working on spreading out the action to the further out months. 2 - Tracking the...
[IMG] Everything went wrong today in VIX, and the stock side didn't help out. Oh well. OTOH, I was expecting a down week until today on VIX...
[IMG] Net positive on VIX stuff (curve fell a bit more today) but yield plays and commodities got hit bad today, and the Jan effect pee wees...
Thanks! I have no doubt that will change. Entire curve fell like a rock these past two days, which is great for me. But as I'm sure you know,...
[IMG] Same as yesterday, VIX curve generally went down. Put on more hedges, since there is a lower limit to this of course. Took some profits...
Occurs to me that now that TOS is part of TD Ameritrade, I can just use their website for this thread, as they post the net P&L (minus commish)....
