Today’s is a fake out day, in my opinion. Risk is off for your typical alpha strategy, as shone here by my Bubble Basket being down 1.7%.
But the shit is still floating to the top, as indicated by the sundry of China-coms popping off.
So how do we resolve this? After all, the Nasdaq is still +23.
Taking a look at the VIX, it’s clear to me, at least as of now, it wants lower. It wants to dive back into the FAGBOX between $11 and $13.
Conclusion: If you’re short into this weakness, cover and be grateful. Oil is still pressing higher. Gold is being destroyed. Markets want MOAR.

Momos getting killed.
I am short into this shit, and I know that new highs are likely.
I am a greedy hunk of fuck and am compelled to profit from every move. I will not be grateful. It is mine to take.
So if VIX is up 18%, why is the 1.5x UVXY up only 10%?
Because it’s deeply flawed?
