U-V-X-Y, You Ain’t Got No Alibi!

saturday_night_live_chess_tournament_season_21

I bought some UVXY here, inside 12631 just now, looking for volatility to play catch-up to the carnage in the momentum names.

It is a gutsy play into the weekend, with quite a few momentum names oversold. Keep in mind, though, that the Dow and S&P both printed fresh all-time highs this morning. So, it is not like I am buying volatility at the end of a 10% broad market correction, or anything close to it.

I also do not see too many traders in a rush to by volatility here, leading me to continue to think we are looking at a complacent market.

My stop is under $55.

    DO NOT hold on to UVXY for long unless you read the prospectus or you’re an OG.
