Story for atleast the past year.  Market churns from sector to sector, one day its financials staying strong and tech taking a hit, next day its small cap growth while materials get hammered, etc.  Im not quick or lucky enough to play that game, so starting to lean away more and more from individual equities and playing the indexes and index-vols

Brutal few weeks indeed. Indexes steady or slightly down but my portfolio is down 15%.

I'm ready to go all in on the market, I just can't decide if I want to be short or long at this point.

I guess I should toss a coin heads by calls tails by puts; or buy some of both, and ensure that the market stays in a narrow band for quite a while

Today was one of the best buying opportunities in a long time.  I had planned on dicking off all morning but waived the wife off (no pics).  Had to get the trades in by noon.

So yesterday the VIX gained something like +50%, amongst the top 5/10 highest overnight moves ever.  The VIX implies the 30-day forward volatility of the S&P index based on the traded options prices. 

image.thumb.png.a0e3d6c743464df5e14eddb6cd8e25f7.png

But the traded price of VIX futures -- a prediction of VIX at even later points in time -- didn't completely blow up (from black up to blue).  Curve is still in contango and saying that the relationship of month-to-month turbulence is still pretty "normal". 

There's also the fact that if the market is buying near-term insurance (long puts, a bearish bet) against a crash, it's less likely to actually happen.  If the market starts to crash, the seller of the puts (exposed to liability of payout in a crash) will buy into the market to stabilize/neutralize their exposure.  (Only when nobody expects a crash that it happens... the definition of a black swan).

 

My perspective on is that this SPX drop and VIX spike is temporary.  I expect the blue curve to be dragged down back to the black curve.  I shorted a bunch of the VIX-derived securites and bought into some SPY and other indexes.  If I'm wrong on the direction -- or simply the timing -- and the VIX stays elevated or goes even higher, its back to McDonalds fry station. 

Very interested to see the futures open up today. I could see the market down another 2-3 percent or up 2-3 percent. The new variant seems likely everywhere, but initial indications are that it may be more mild?

I wouldn't peg too much to the action at global open.  Asia and European traders are generally pessimistic... then the regular trading hours open up in the US and lifts everything again.  At least on observation , without any hard numbers to back it up, this seems to be the case like 2/3rd of the time this past year.

Equity futures are green and commodities green. 
Again things might be real different when the real volumes come in , but for now it looks good

Asian bois are putting in work. Thank you asian bois. 
 

VIX futures drop from 26 to 23.5 and falling.

S&P and Russell futures dumped again, but on low volume, so decent chance of recovering in US trading session.  Nasdaq is holding on tight.  Im back to shorting VIX futures -- most of which was closed yesterday.  Crude oil dipped again, which maybe can be assigned to the omicron narrative.

Okay, pork belly prices have been dropping all morning, which means that everybody is waiting for it to hit rock bottom, so they can buy low. Which means that the people who own the pork belly contracts are saying, "Hey, we're losing all our damn money, and Christmas is around the corner, and I ain't gonna have no money to buy my son the G.I. Joe with the kung-fu grip! And my wife ain't gonna f... my wife ain't gonna make love to me if I got no money!" So they're panicking right now, they're screaming "SELL! SELL!" to get out before the price keeps dropping. They're panicking out there right now, I can feel it.
