    Let it go -$50k against you before making +$1k. Where do I sign up?

    As I said since post #1, I took no position. But if I had, I would have legged into long puts after the skyrocket. I know, easy to say in retrospect, but wasn't it the obvious trade?

    The obvious trade is to go long in any index future, and HODL, roll if needed. It is so obvious now in retrospect, after decades of history with them. Yet we just...can't... do...it. Can we?
