VIDEO WITH SOUND ON! -- SORRY LAST VIDEO HAD AUDIO ISSUES :(
We talked about our 1st death via 100 cuts (our May Entry into VIX Options) OUCH.
We knew this was a game of patience and timing.
Upon releasing our video last week, the entry was ripe...
Today, after a major spike in FOMO equities (Think: Tesla up 200 points...then down 300) we got the breakout we wanted.
THE VIX: DO OR DIE MOMENT.
We cover the:
fundamental story.
timeline of entry.
technical breakout
take-profit zones
the BONUS TAKE PROFIT.
BONUS READING -- INSIDER'S VIEW
This spike in the VIX is causing huge risk management issues at firms worldwide.
Why?
Because it rose WITH the stock market today.
Usually, this is not the case. (Usually: Stocks go up, volatility comes down)
Why is this a problem?
Because of the risk models at EVERY INVESTMENT HOUSE.
Risk gets managed by models.
These models scan for volatility .
If volatility increases...your risk goes up considerably.
EVEN IF YOU ARE A BULL AND WANT TO BUY TESLA , YOUR RISK DEPT -- WONT LET YOU.
So...it means less buyers in the markets.
BIG MONEY BUYERS.
The portfolio managers have to "pare the risk" and cut their winners, trim their losers.
WHICH LEADS TO MORE SELLOFFS. ---> Which lead to...
You guessed it.
Higher Volatility .
And on goes the cycle until the flushing finishes.
This is NOT A LINEAR GAME.
It's a tornado followed by a hurricane --- inside long-only portfolios.
VIX IS A PROBLEM. (for bulls)
VIX IS A KINGMAKER. (for those that study, plan, prepare, time-it-right, and risk manage)

Please let me know if this would interest you.
(It takes alot of energy, time, money to do it right...would need to have strong community response to set this up...hopefully this makes sense)
