If it really happens that vix goes to 50 shorting the vix can be a very interesting trade. A level around 50 would historically be extremely rare. It seems scary but with enough patience this will drop to lower levels over time. Selling itm calls would be best for this imo, rolling at every expiry ( never buy puts for this, the premium will be to high)
It would have blew past $120 again if they had someone from SV running it. A waitlist till March on downloading, still $70s to $99 incredible!
Hello folks- Putin has moved his troops into a region of Ukraine with no homeland soldiers. Will he press into actively defended areas of Ukraine? We shall see. I think he wants to fake forwards and then come in left creating a land bridge from whatever crap hole is to the left. How do we handle this? Well if a very large number of Russian troops are huddled up somewhere perhaps a secrete drone should fly over and drop liquid gas. A bunch of burned up troops will get the home population to shift their rah rah attitude. Take their food, take their banking, leave this nation a potato away from starvation. Find the young soldiers who do not want to be there, not the pros.. the pros are crazy... stay away from them, get the reserves and burn their trucks. Russia will find Ukraine's defense tougher than they think. The world is watching Mr Putin.. your move.

~le savante Stoney!!!!! Didn't you say PLTR would have a great quarter? Ark funds sold more than 11.7 million shares of Palantir Technologies on Tuesday, the third time in a week. The $123.2 million sale came as the data analytics company's stock fell after an earnings miss. Ark sold 5 million shares of Palantir on Friday, and 4.7 million shares on Thursday. Cathie Wood's Ark Invest ditched another chunk of Palantir Technologies stock in the wake of the data-analytics company's earnings miss, selling more than 11.7 million shares on Tuesday. The sales were worth more than $123.2 million, based on Tuesday's closing price of $10.48 for Palantir. Five of Ark's six active exchange-traded funds shed the stock, according to a trade notification from the firm. The flagship ARK Innovation ETF (ARKK) sold the most, letting go of 9.4 million. In 2021, Ark ETFs loaded up on Palantir, building a near $1 billion stake in the company founded by Peter Thiel that has been a favorite of retail traders. As recently as November, the funds bought more than a million shares as the stock price dipped, and continued buying in the early weeks of 2022. But Tuesday's sales are the third time Ark has disposed of Palantir stock since the company released its fourth-quarter financial report last Thursday. It posted earnings per share of 2 cents, missing analysts' target of 4 cents. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Gummy of the day: PATH===> $35.37
Pretty sure that would be called chemical warfare. Probably not a good plan there General. And what is "liquid gas"? LNG?
