Re: High VIX of 35

Yes, I agree, Sun. I added two more sets of short guts today when I found VIX was so high at 35 . The time value was sooooooo rich and I can construct them in a wider range. I did it on EEG and EEM. Hope the VIX will drop drastically below 30 and I will celebrate!

As I write, VIX has dropped back to 33 and immediately I see small profit from both sets.

Help me to pray that VIX will plunge further and the whole world stablises.

Re: High VIX of 35

Sorry, typo error. It is EGH and EEM.

I guess all eggs were broken in Wall Streets.....

Re: High VIX of 35

Hi Sun and JK,

Yes, it is nerve wrecking. I refused to repair some of the short call when there were slightly out of the money today because VIX at 35 has a historical effect of reversal.

Time now is 3am, and the reversal has started strongly: USO, SPY, XLE, OIH, MER and many more were staging a strong upward movement.

My delta loss was compensated a bit.

Shiuuuuu!

Re: High VIX of 35

Oh my goodness!!!!!!!

The market retreated when I went to bed! I thought it was on the reversal, but went down further. How ar can it go from here.

The only relief I have was from oil related ETF, they all went up. So the delta loss was not too bad from these short guts.

I have to roll down some of them tonight already. Sorry, Sun, did not listen to your advise of rolling to protect. Will do, will do it tonight.

x%&*@#$ market, x%&*#@@ banks stocks, must as well buy some bread to keep than keeping those banks.

Re: High VIX of 35

Hanz, probably no need to roll down already. The world has all come together to ease the current turmoil this afternoon. Futures were up , Hing Kong reversed 1300 loss, all european markets were up.

But yes, I want to join you to say @#$^&* to all the banks!
