Trading the incoming recession

[VolSkewTrader]

Why not short every (overvalued) stock or buy put options.

Good call. Take half the cash you raised from selling all your over-inflated assets and stick it in a trading account to cover your "haircut" from all the overvalued stocks you shorted. Buy put options, and sell call options to finance them. Load up on VIX calls if it ever gets below 12 again, and sell VIX puts to finance your call purchases.

And don't forget to buy some Bitcoin, which should finally turn around and take off when the Fed has to reverse its policy and start printing money again. It's a better currency alternative than gold.

I went long the bear (natural) Jan/Mar 2900/3000 diagonal from 68. I sold the thing at an average price of 101. I sold some spreads as high as 113. I am looking to re-enter again for the Q1-Q3 technical recession. At one point it was 35% of my (and managed) net liq.

Man, that was a good call....I keep trying to nail tops and get burnt for it. I need to learn to bail before the top and stick to it. What were your clues?

I agree but this makes you Public Enemy No 1 around this crew.
