This makes VERY LITTLE sense. The VIX usually soars when
impulsive selling kicks in - like we've seen since 2:30pm ET. Yet
the VIX is almost at its 5-day low. Remember the VIX is priced
based on the premiums on short-term S&P options. When the VIX
comes down, it's because the stock market volatility is expected to
decline. That ALMOST ALWAYS coincides with a rising market. So
options are being priced cheaper, in anticipation of higher stock
market prices, yet retail options traders are POURING into puts.
This isn't going to end well for those buying puts -
Yes definitely some fuckries going on. Either the VIX is
gonna explode higher or the indexes are going to explode higher.
Since I'm already long VIX, I added to it and also picked up
some TQQQ, GOOG, AAPL calls to hedge. Goog calls are cheap !
Maybe it's a VIX setup to get everyone thinking we're getting
another squeeze up but really everything tanks according to my plan
A which is that we need to fill the lower gap before this puppy
gets going again. Right now all i'm seeing is money being
moved around from sector to sector while indexes grind higher.
