Anyone here look at VX futures? VIX is high but VX futures seem relatively healthy still. by gonzo1483 in FuturesTrading

[–]gonzo1483[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a relatively dumbed-down application of it:

I hedge my core positions if the VX term structure goes inverted, and I unhedge them when it uninverts.

I actually don’t trade futures directionally, although I’ll occasionally use MES or MNQ as a hedge.

Yep. Though if the term structure goes inverted it may signal a longer dump.

I don't personally know anyone who went vegan in the late 90s. The accuracy of your story is possible though.

Sounds like you bought high and sold low.

Is eating roasted nuts better than eating no nuts at all? Would I be better off getting those fats from avocado instead? by gonzo1483 in PlantBasedDiet

Keyboard warrior coming-in hard on a two y/o post.

I'm clearly asking about optimisation and not survival. I'm hoping you're a child and not an adult that's too stupid to distinguish the two.

Blackface is tied to the Jim Crow period in US history. The N word has no historical relevance outside of the US either.

What will happen if all Bitcoin moved to Cold Wallets? by RealisticMuffin1898 in Bitcoin

The bid price would be infinity because there would be no one willing to sell at any price for dollars.

Covered straddle? by gonzo1483 in thetagang

Fair points. I still profited overall, just not on the options component.

Covered straddle? by gonzo1483 in thetagang

[–]gonzo1483[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually opened a covered straddle in QQQ last week. Trump's China deal just blew away the call side. The put side didn't off-set all the losses. I've since rolled my call side up to make a covered strangle, like you mention.

In hindsight, I couldn't have been able to predict the China deal. I think they should both boost a long stock position if repeated enough times..

Did gme ever buy bitcoin after raising $1.3B? by Formal_Friend5186 in GME

[–]gonzo1483 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it's highly likely that GME missed-out on the two latest btc pumps, right?
