Can someone who gets this stuff tell me what happened with SVXY?

Yeah, I don't know a lot of volatility or how it's calculated. I just saw UVXY never really goes up for more than 3 months at a time, so it seemed like a good thing to buy puts.

What is the difference between uvxy and svix?

Apparently UVXY has gone from 20000000000 to 10.

I'm wondering if I should go 6 months out rather than 3 months out. Six months out gives 3 months of movement before the 3 month time decay begins. The concept is that in any given 3 month period, UVXY will end lower than currently -- except starting in Apr 2022 when it was slightly higher 3...

Well, there are a few things I have learned about options. 1) is that I'm pretty much the worst options trader. 2) Reddit has told me that options should never be held until expiration. From what I grasped, theta starts to decay around 60-90 days til expiration. So maybe it makes sense to...

Continue until it goes up and I lose the premium I paid?

This journal will discuss BUYING PUTS on UVXY because it goes down basically all months on average. Sometimes it goes up. But this infrequently will be higher at the end of any 3 month period than it was preceding the 3 month period. Based on this, I assume buying puts at least 3 months out...

I meant increases.

Well, taking a short position overnight requires margin. And interest. I should have said interest.

How is this not a winning strategy? UXVY basically never decreases for more than 3 months at a time. So conceptually if you buy any put that is longer than 3 months (let's say 4 months) wouldn't you make money? Not joking, actually serious. I read the shares are hard to borrow, so just do...

Like, the reason not to short SPY and buy an inverse ETF instead is because of margin? Can this be wrong?

Puts or bear ETFs?

What am I missing? If you get two options with distinct expirations, price can literally go down and then up and you lose money (or higher then lower). Do the profit when price stays put and then goes your direction, or goes in each direction you need proceedingly?

Might either have favor over the other.

Are you going to keep trading this Monday?

Would you explain the difference between reacting and predicting? Reacting to me is trend chasing.

Re: K1, is this any more challenging on taxes than general stuff?

So how did you know the gap was continuing and not filling?

Ken what did you do to presume today would go up? Uvxy normally decreases lower.
