Best ETFs for Playing Ukraine Invasion?

[MoreLeverage]

Pick any of the Russia ETFs. Go long if you think there will be no invasion. Short if you expect war.

RSX seems like the obvious one, which way is less clear but I’d be betting short this weekend.

I tried XOM calls but it didn't work.

It looks like oil may already be priced in.

Made a little on GDX options but it's starting to look very toppy as well.

Nobody know what's gonna happen next. This could very well just be a bluff and no war escalates.

Keep in mind seasonality fades typically end of the month.

Good points/especially the last day of the month \usually.
2014 stock Traders Almanac has FEB with a negative % gain\ FEB crept barely average positive over the years from 2014. See what happens around 200dma

Shorting RSX would have been a good idea.

Sell the rumor, buy the news. Classic!

Saw it coming but not at this magnitude.

It's just a preview imo for Oil, Nat Gas, and Gold/Silver. Guess we'll see but the earnings reports are so good in Cdn energy it might not matter free call on higher Oil. I wouldn't touch QQQ yet in either direction.

Except the classic line is other way around ... buy the rumor, sell the news.

Yesterday was a good day to short russian ETFs. By the way, the Moscow exchange halted all trading due to the crash today (yes on ALL MARKETS).
