...the S&P puked down to the low 1300s, VIX went to 35, and you thought that stocks have put in the lows for the year?
Sell puts or put verticals, buy OTM butterflies...basically, you wanna be long delta and short vega. Long calls are not a very good play cause they are long vega.
======================= Exactly, it may be a bit tricky; finding things better uptrending than SPY. So when a high probabliity bounce like $130 or 120 on SPY,;may buy something.Main trends still down there. With 50 & 200 dma down ,down on SPY,wouldnt be in a hurray to buy that; even if its a bit oversold, Cuten.
================== This coming week may well have a relief rally; not likely a low for the year at all, since just barely halfway thru January.
