    IF YOU KNEW WHEN THE TOP IN THE DOW OR S&P WOULD BE AND KNEW THERE WAS A CORRECTION COMING.
    WHAT WOULD THE BEST THING TO TRADE?

    Buy VIX CAlls
    Buy Puts in either SPX or RUT

    Create a website and post what you see coming and then you can sell a newsletter for years to come pointing to how you have cracked the secret market code.

    Buy puts and sell a bunch of calls to finance

    THANKS FOR THE REPLY.
    I was thinking of buying calls and puts in the SPY.
    Would I not get more bang for the buck with that?
     
  5. Why would you buy calls if you thought the top was in?

    Again, thanks for the reply.
    What I meant was just trading the SPY.
    When I think a correction is coming, I would buy puts.
    When I feel the correction ended , I would buy calls.
    Just staying with the SPY, would that make sense?
     
  8. Really? "I was thinking of buying calls and puts in the SPY."
