Ah I see you also got access to RH options lol. Buying options on VIX is pure /r/wallstreetbets - you should definitely go for it lmao

There be dragons. Your general market hedge is SPY, IWM, QQQ, DIA, etc. And for what it's worth, if I had time to manage an options strategy I would stay on the house side and sell spreads for time premium for the rest of the year.

July 31, 20187 yr I don't know what RH options are, but have been reading articles on hedging a portfolio with VIX. I see nothing but downside market risk for rest of the year, but that is totally a stick the finger in the air sense. Which probably means everybody else should go long.
July 31, 20187 yr VIX options suck. They consistently seem to underperform the actual swings in volatility. I think it's because of the expectation that the VIX will always revert, and reasonably soon. They just settle for cash, and the odds of being "in the money" at settlement are often low, so it's just a different animal. I would stick with SPX, SPY, etc.
July 31, 20187 yr Didn't someone on Shag or Surl get stiffed on a bunch of VIX options earlier this year? or last year????

That is the most boring way of consistently making money. It's the options version of saying, "I play the stock market," when really you just dump everything into $VTI and a bond fund and come out ahead in the end.

This reminds me of my favorite quote from one of my favorite all-time memoirs, "Amarillo Slim in a World Full of Fat People" “I learned that there are people who love action and others who love money. The first group is called suckers, and the second is called professional gamblers, and it was a cinch which one I wanted to be.”
July 31, 20187 yr Not sure what the point about time premium is: (bull) debit spread is synthetic to (bull) credit spread with the same strikes and expiry. If you're right and the underlying pops, I guess you can get away with letting the latter expire worthless to avoid extra fees, but other than that?

If you're right and the underlying pops, I guess you can get away with letting the latter expire worthless to avoid extra fees, but other than that? Don't understimate the value of cash-in-hand. What if liquidity dries up? What if your broker goes down at 2:45 p.m. on the day of expiry? Also, even if your position moves where you want it, you will almost always leave at least couple cents on the table when you close out, i.e., you will rarely get the full value of the spread.
August 1, 20187 yr Fair enough. Regarding your final point -- I could have sworn my last broker allowed both legs of an in-the-money debit spread to just wash out at expiry (excluding the spread $ itself). Notional value didn't matter re: account size. Of course, there's still the pucker factor of worrying if the underlying might drop below the short leg, especially after normal trading hours.

August 2, 20187 yr AAPL just hit $1T market cap. Truly remarkable. Worth more than the GDP of every nation outside the top 10

Same with Amazon but I don't recall it being as close to failing as Apple was. Also, you probably would have sold it after you made 5x or 10x your money. Then you'd kick yourself for selling.

It’s sad to watch folks on sites like StockTwits chasing this piece of shit with tons of retirement money.
August 6, 20187 yr Berkshire's class A stock was $500 in late 1981. It's a lot more than that now. The Class B was $72 at its initial offering. That's also gone up a lot. Not quite as much.
August 9, 20187 yr Jesus Tapdancing on a titty. StockTwits feed for HMNY is chock full of terrifyingly regarded people. Someone with the last name Rothschild bought 227 shares today and had to file a 13F (a whopping $15 worth) and folks were claiming how the Rothschilds were FOMO investing. I told one that they would have paid a fucking intern 5x their investment just to file the 13F paperwork for their “FOMO” investment. And why the fuck are they afraid of $15?
