Awww Shucks

Who knew?

Maybe I knew? Perhaps, even a thousand others knew.

Strategy from here on is to acknowledge my VXX trade as “untimely” but still relevant. I will add to the positions 1-2 points lower, as we head towards the top end of the recent range. At the close of trading, my largest positions were VXX, EWZ and FLS. Personally, TNA is, by far, my largest.

    Forgive the new guy, but where do I find these sweet money making charts that you post? Are they buried in the PPT somewhere? Much love.

      Fly will post the charts here, but only after the fact 🙂 If you want to know/see these things as they happen, and be able to react in time to make money, the data/info is inside the PPT part of the system… It’s all about the hybrid score, baby!

        why do you lie? If PPT was so great, why would all the bloggers here suck at trading? None of their trades ever work. 🙂

      Bonds, swiss franc, yen, vix are all short term oversold. All 4 could easily bounce here, if this bullish descending wedge in the US Dollar keeps holding. Only thing that could kill it would be a Bernanke QE Bazookla ambush tomorrow.
      If that fails to happen, VXX could EASILY be 7 to 10 % higher by end of week.
      Many sectors climbed near their highs from July 13 ,today. Market is more short term overbought than it appears, on the surface.

    The Fly:

    1. why are you purchasing VXX before tomorrows expiration as spot will fall due to contract roll which puts pressure on next month?

    2. why are you purchasing VXX when it is designed to go to zero as rolling cost etas into available capital every month?

    Thanks,

    D.O.

    • D.O.

      So then back to my original questions:

      1. why are you buying a product with rolling costs that eat into its own capital (Current contango of VIX Futures eats into cash on hand during roll), and

      2. why did you buy VXX before expiration as Spot VIX is currently at a premium to 20 day realized volatility so VIX has to fall to hit realized which drags down the next month price thus lowering the value of VXX?

    Your VXX is untimely. Your PPT hit oversold a few days ago, and that means VXX will drop.

      I wasn’t questioning the amount of money you have made nor was i trying to pick a fight in your arena, my question was aimed to see what type of logic you use in investing as well as trying to find out if you hedge the VXX buys somehow.

      Not a sermon, just a thought.

    I have turned early in the face of the hybrid. I now have VXX, puts on SPY, puts on QQQQ, and puts on EEM. Plus 25% TLT.

    Oh, and short 3 ES contracts.

    All said, not a lot of risk on the line, and I will close all this shit if we crack 1110. But, I just didn’t like how the hybrid went oversold sooo quickly.

    If this fucker runs up until 3.0 again, I swear I will obey the hybrid like an automaton until it is some day proven wrong.

    Fly,

    Is it possible to trade rydex funds using PPT, i can only trade 2 time a day on rydex funds( trade at 10.30 am or 4 pm) and only bench mark index funds. In other words will PPT subscription help me much as i will be a much slower trader than rest of the gang.

    thanks
    Bill

      I can answer that, although Fly may have a different opinion. I traded Profunds for a long time and it may have helped with my understanding of when the s&p was overbought or oversold…probably enough to warrant the cost. However, the real benefit comes when trading stocks. Since I’ve switched to trading stocks which wasn’t and easy change ( talk about hitting the wrong button just trying to figure out the mechanical aspects of the trading platform), the PPT has helped me greatly.

      Also, If you do switch to stocks and don’t want to spent a whole lot of time trading, Wood’s Power Dip System is incredible.

      It seems that I just go into the market every day, grab some coin and take it to my safe deposit box for safe keeping!

      I do credit you with what you’ve done for all these freeloaders. You are good. And you share. And that shit doesn’t happen.

      However, you may soon be able to retire off the PPT….right around the time it jumps the shark.

      I hope to ride it out until that point.

      That’s the entertainment business.

      I have plenty of associates who’s sole purpose in life is to quietly wait for that one moment where the shit hits the fan and your suddenly wearing a cheap flannel sports jacket with a tacky toupee. The grandstanding begins and the agony gets amplified to monolithic proportions. I typically don’t join in the fun but it is quite entertaining.
