  1. RSX seems like the obvious one, which way is less clear but I’d be betting short this weekend.

    I tried XOM calls but it didn't work.

    It looks like oil may already be priced in.

    Made a little on GDX options but it's starting to look very toppy as well.

    Nobody know what's gonna happen next. This could very well just be a bluff and no war escalates.

    Good points/especially the last day of the month \usually.
    2014 stock Traders Almanac has FEB with a negative % gain\ FEB crept barely average positive over the years from 2014. See what happens around 200dma

    Shorting RSX would have been a good idea.

    Sell the rumor, buy the news. Classic!

    Saw it coming but not at this magnitude.

    It's just a preview imo for Oil, Nat Gas, and Gold/Silver. Guess we'll see but the earnings reports are so good in Cdn energy it might not matter free call on higher Oil. I wouldn't touch QQQ yet in either direction.

    Except the classic line is other way around ... buy the rumor, sell the news.

  8. Yesterday was a good day to short russian ETFs. By the way, the Moscow exchange halted all trading due to the crash today (yes on ALL MARKETS).
