SPX - Hitting the 50ma

SPX - Hitting the 50ma + 10min rising wedge with divergence ...something to keep in mind

GBTC ... this is another one of the "Know what you own" kinda thing ... if you want to play the crypto space and BTC in particular, better play it with the real thing that this screwed up fund with a crazy a$$ premium on it that trades on the OTC to boot ... just sayin' ... and even more so considering BTC trades 24/7 .... you can be in for quite a gap if there's big overnight action or over a weekend ... HUGE risk IMHO ... crypto can move fast ... faster than VIX sometimes ... lol

The XIV Saga ... good

The XIV Saga ... good reads

Howard Lindzon has been really open and honest on his play with XIV ... lots of good info and links ... What freaks me out a bit about this whole saga, is without me being on vacation, this would have been me ... I've played this countless times over the past 3-4 yearsm shorting volatility... almost like a carry trade .... it's actually been a "easy money press" kinda thing for me ... (and for many others, retail and institutional as we all know) i've made a REALLY good amount of money on this, and I admit, I would have probably got sucked in to this on Monday if I wouldn't have been on vacation the past two weeks, trying to get synced in on what's going on ... I never played it disproportionately in my portfolio, but nonetheless, it would have been a total loss ... Lesson learned ... try to dig in further into what i'm trading and holding overnight ;)
