@seth-golden Good Morning. I just tried to listen to the SOTM, however it asks me for my Login, once logged in every time I click the link, it asks me for my login again. I could not send you a private message as well. Please let me know if I need to do something different. Thank you.

Hi @seth-golden, I’m glad to read this article but wondering what your thoughts are. We’re almost at the end of the year, and many are saying that there should be a Santa rally. Wouldn’t that cause the vix to be pushed lower? We’ve been in backwardation for quite a…[Read more]

@seth-golden quick question. When rsi makes new lows n price makes new highs. That’s a bearish divergence right? If I even explained right.-
Yes

Hi @seth-golden and anyone, looking for book recommendations to become a better trader and chart reader. Any must reads and foundational reads? Also, what expectations should we have after reading those books? Thanks in advance!

@seth-golden I notice you mostly trade s&p related vix products.. do you also trade any vol in nasdaq or Dow or gold or oil? Why or why not?
-
No, I’ve only traded S&P related as it is the largest and based on functional market thesis without deliverable assets underlying. Oil, gold, both deliverable assets. I could never offer someone a box of volatility 😉 Makes a difference in the AUM value theory.

@seth-golden a couple things. Subscription, Reuters, Barron’s, Business Insider, all of the above, or none of the above? I’ve had Motley Fool and WSJ in the past, and I thought they provided little value. On a separate topic, have you looked into Chinese tech? Seems like China in general has the most to gain in user and user growth. I see more…[Read more]

I have a subscription to Reuters and Barron’s. Only Chinese tech/commerce I trade is BABA. Of course some of the bookkeeping is fraudulent which is why I only trade them here and there.

@seth-golden, On the same subject, Do you think Short VXX is more riskier in the begining of the M1or. the tail end…the same on ZIV too…
For instance last Tuesdays market crash VXX up by 12.44% if the same event occured on a week earlier i wonder if VXX would have been up less than 12.44%..i am not sure..we cant go back in time:-(..but i felt…[Read more]

It would depend on the current state of term structure. But in general your risk would be greater with initiating a position at the beginning of the futures contract as the ETP holds the vast majority of its AUM in the m1 during the onset of the contract month. So if a Feb 5 event occurred on day 1 of the AUM holding the m1s would be far worse…[Read more]
-
Oh ok..Thank you…so the majority of ETP matters. I wondered the m1 doesnt move as close/high as Spot Vix when M1 is on its first day. With that i thought its less risky to short VXX on the start of m1. Thank you for correcting
-
It’s more risky in terms of if an anomalistic event occurs, it would cause the greatest damage at the beginning of a monthly cycle, than later in the monthly futures cycle. Key term is anomalistic, as the probability is quite low.
-
Oh ok.. Thank you for the wisdom….

@seth-golden what tool or website do you use to track the earnings performance of companies in the S&P 500?
-
Something tells me you don’t read the weekly research reports on earnings. I embed the Reuters link in each one http://lipperalpha.financial.thomsonreuters.com/2018/04/this-week-in-earnings-9/
-
is there one that updates every day or does this one update once a week?
-
S&P earnings are only updated weekly. I include in the weekly research report the breakdown as well as the corresponding table.

@seth-golden totally agree with your points and am learning a bunch.
It’s a great day today after Pres. Xi announced plans to ‘open’ China. I frankly did not expect that, thought there would be more ‘tit’ for ‘tat’.
Could this be the start of the vix term structure going back into contango? M1 and M2 seem to be flattening. I hope earnings…[Read more]

Thanks @seth-golden! Am I reading this wrong or is VXX not spiking as much as back in Feb?
<br />img url<br />Also, the VXST/VIX ratio is still above 1. Shouldn’t it fall below 1 historically?
The longer we’re in backwardation, the more VXX will continue to creep higher. Just very concerned – VXX seem to move up 50 cents every day due to…[Read more]

Thanks @seth-golden! That makes sense. Forward PE of 17 is about average and corp earnings are looking really good. Looks like there’s more left in this bull market.

@seth-golden generally speaking, safe to short UVXY again? or are you looking for a higher level of contango or other indicators, especially with the revised changes to its guts? VVIX continues to stay elevated, relatively speaking. Seems like the “ALL CLEAR” has not been announced yet.. haha.
-
Safer is a better word for shorting VOL and it will always be found defining that margin of safety through liquidity. With a full core holding I am continuing to look for scalps on VXX, but using UVXY for LOBs

@seth-golden, I read the Artemiscm white paper on Reflexivity in the Shadows of Black Monday.
Seem pretty scary and prescient given the Feb 5th event. Chris suggests a vol regime change where being long volatility will significantly outperform short volatility in 2018 and beyond given its hedge against market turmoil, which apparently is only a…[Read more]

@seth-golden Thats a helpful perspective. What i meant by broken is that dont expect them to trade like they should in times of distress. else, no reason why VXX was trading at a higher % gain then both TVIX/UVXY on Feb 6th if i remember correctly.
P.S. VXX shorts availability are back on Fidelity @2.5% cost to borrow

@seth-golden Seth, I noticed you tended to dissuade this trade with that example of capital size “at this stage of the bull cycle.” So, how are you weighting this conclusion to @ultrafeel? Imo, the time management is the issue. It’s not worth all the time spent to manage a 10k account shorting vol (unless you did a set it and forget it core…[Read more]

Excellent Opportunity, like how @seth-golden and @david-moadel puts it. I’m glad I have liquidity going into this, just need to be disciplined when layering my shorts. I expect it to spike, but I sometimes short it too early.
My plan:
1. watch finomgroup for advice and guidance from the pros
2. only commit 10% of funds a day to short vol
