To me it would seem like the decline has indeed stabilized, for the record and a follow-up to my previous post about 6 weeks ago the stock went down -3.82% the day after the earnings report on 06/27/18.
There was significant volatility which of course is typical, with it being down as much as -10.26% intraday, but the stock quickly rebounded and…[Read more]

Hello All! Several traders have had questions/concerns about brokerages that have availability of certain vol products namely tvix. As of 8:30am Eastern time on Monday July 16th Fidelity had over 50,000 shares available to short. Now with that being said, is that a contrary indicator? 😂🤣 (possibly, joking of course) (along with the Monday morning…[Read more]

Wednesday, July 11th. Great guidance from FinomGroupPremium, thanks Seth! Anyone who wants to book daily/weekly profits should consider this service. Today in Pre-Market I bought two lots of 250 each at $33.05 and $33.02. I covered all 500 at 32.50 at 10:24am. -

Tuesday, July 10th. Update on VXX Monday July 9th trade: covered 2 lots of 500 each in pre-market at $32.37 and $32.38. Nice profit. Closed an additional 1000 share TVIX…-
may I know which brokerage are you using, please? TVIX is not available for shorting on TDA for me.

Hi and thanks for your question. I highly recommend asking our guru/mentor Seth. I have several accounts and honestly I have gone months without getting any shares of tvix from any brokerage. Some say you can use options and get assigned but I’m not that smart, haha lol. I have Fidelity/TDA/IB.

I didn’t post on Tuesday July 3rd, I had a $504 gain. On Friday July 6th, I sold short 2000 at $35.87 as it broke support. I covered all at $35.59 for a $539 gain. Thank you FINOMGROUP PREMIUM for teaching me the setups and profiting!!!-
Doing well, doing well. Hope to see some follow through next week as contango has expanded significantly and we are edging closer to m1 expiration on the 18th.

Friday June 29th: VXX trade: Yesterday my mouth was watering about a short below 37.50 Today, VXX gapped lower, so I missed that early entry. So I sold short 1000 shares (different lots) with a starter at 36.54 on the gap down and covered all 1000 at 36.11 which was pre-market support. Happy!

Nice trade! I had another smaller scalp later in the day but from here I’m waiting for it to break $35

Seth, the calls by you/Finom Group Premium are fantastic! I see your alerts/ideas and by analyzing other angles they help me improve my niche short vol scalps, day-trades, and swings. I can tailor them. Thanks so much!

Does anyone else think that AT&T may be a decent addition at this point? Nice divvy, more power grab from what I can tell. Additionally, maybe a small Comcast holding could prove lucrative.

@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.

Regardless of how terrible of a strategy it is to put all your eggs in one basket, I chose to do it anyway in one particular account. I “found” an old employer’s retirement account which had been sitting in cash for quite some time – don’t ask why. Anyway, i dumped the entire thing into $FB at $188/share. Wish me luck. I think this is where I…[Read more]

I keep hearing know what you own on stock forums. I figure that is why i took my $6000 loss in tvix and sold tuesday is cause i did not stay true to my thought of the g-7 meeting and was trading on another thrown around term hopeium. I was hoping for a spike in volatility out of the random instead of waiting for a more possible time for…[Read more]

@austinc93 Here’s my thoughts and possible teachings on the subject to consider: TVIX, UVXY, VXX and other VIX-ETPs are constructed with a correlation to the primary S&P 500 (SPX) options market such that OVER TIME, they will decay in price value. It’s not a hunch, it’s not a possibility, it is an inevitability. One can offer any given and many…[Read more]

@VolGuru, All great points…VXX is definitely more riskier…few other points to consider are ZIVs volume would be around 75K to 150K..and more than likely it may not have Pre Market/Extended Trading volume (but few exceptions though)…

Hello all – hope everyone’s doing great.
So after being out pretty much for the last few months (thankfully avoided the Feb event), I am beginning to take a look back at the VIX and only from a core short position perspective.
In my view, the risk is clearly on the higher end for any short position here since it seems after the Feb event VIX…[Read more]

Kevin Ann replied to the topic Short-term options: Edge for longs due to gamma? in the forum UVXY, TVIX, VXX, XIV, SVXY, VIXY, VMAX, VMIN 6 years, 8 months ago
I’d say the following four issues must be accounted for and may diminish any edge.
1. Implied volatility premium (ever present)
2. Remaining time value (Theta decay is not just large, but is increasing)
3. Bid-Ask spread (2x if you’re going long, then selling back)
4. Transaction costsI haven’t done specific calculations, but these factors tend…[Read more]

I’ve reduced some core holding as dispersion is nearing critical level. Still have core holding, but I’m not adding any more back to the core given current levels of all major metric correlations being relatively low presently. Will have a nice research piece out tomorrow discussing aspects of dispersion to share.
As per your kind guidance, I have covered at $29.85, a few hundred shares for a profit on VXX.
