We explore the VIX from a fundamental and technical view.
We go through the thesis as to why this has been cheapened in the last 6 weeks of Equities Rallying.
We look at Oil and its "Confirming Spill-Over" into Stocks.
It has a great risk/reward when played via Call options.
Again, VIX is a fundamentally-driven chart...it may have some Technical stuff to look at ...but the VIX traders DO NOT generate the movements that matter.
Fundamentals do.
If you can spot them BEFORE they happen...then you can put some very small cost bets that can pay off wildly...if you nail the timing.
I believe we got a massive amount of information from the poker table in March...tells, reactions, and a look at how ALGOS sell off...
The bet is set.
It's dirt cheap...
Please poke holes with data and substantial macro thoughts :)
I have a saying that I consider when taking these trades...
It’s easy to be right overall on the long term, on both the entry and the exit...it’s a bitch to hold the trade during the middle, when punches are flying in all directions with money on the line.
Two options: Take a hedge on a SP call at 3400 for say Jan 22. (Insurance) Trade a smaller amount that lets you sleep.

Great Video- I had just bought a few VIX calls exp Aug, Oct and Nov when I came across your video. I figure at least one expiry will pay off with everything going on. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Very informative appreciate it. And you are right- they are so darn cheap that if they don't work out, wont make a dent in my pocket.
If you’re stressed, you bet too much.
Little moves don’t matter.
