I agree, I've been very surprised all summer how little the markets care about all of these violent protests, but the facts are, they just blow right through them.
Very interested to see how the markets react tomorrow. Especially the Russell given the day it had today.
I am always surprised how often Trump supporters expect this guy to change. It’s been 6 years. He does what he says.
+1 - Market doesn't care much about such things.
I assume the R2K will take a breather. Perhaps a strong day for the Nasdaq?
The VIX is the measure of volatility, but you can't buy it.
You gain exposure to the VIX via ETF's or ETN's like the VXX.
Be careful to avoid the masses. Sometimes the M is silent.
I tried to play it once. But it was going down while my portfolio overall was going up. So I didn't see the point of holding it waiting for that one day, who knows when, where it might jump 10-15%.
A hedge is one thing, but VIX/VXX seems completely counterproductive. Just leave some cash in your account. That's better since it won't go down.
There was a guy, James McDonald, on CNBC recently talking about the UVXY, and he was saying that with options, he can get a one day 10x return. That certainly sounds like it could be worth it.
But they were adding all sorts of disclaimers how this type of trading was not for beginners. That type of return certainly pique's one interest, but I don't even understanding options at this point, so that's not a game I'm looking to play any time soon.
To you and @RUTGERS95 - okay you crazy bastards, for fun and gambling, I bought 97 shares of ETHE which is enough for 1 Ether. Bought at the bell for 16.00. Now you kids leave me alone and let me get back to my actively passive investing.

Now is that by owning the UVXY or if you own the options?
Just looking at the charts I see 10% swings but I don't see anything that significant.
yeah me neither but aside from anticipated swings, the trend on Etherium should be up as it's becoming the platform for all Crypto.
YOU get the credit or blame! LOL. It's fun to learn about something new. Besides, it's a relatively small amount, even for our brokerage account (which is also one of our smaller accounts).
Took that BABA money and bought BP.
I like oil in 2021 as well, but BP brings the potential for a pivot towards hydrogen, which, as is evidenced by the PLUG/SK deal, continues to make inroads.
HA! HA! As I said to 05, it's fun to learn about sometime new. Also, even though it is just a small amount, it saves me from worrying about missing out on something that may be big (i.e., cryptos).
ETHE is down from a high of 24 a few months ago, so the timing seems reasonable.
true but XOM is the play there imho. I do like the transports as well.
Good for you, nothing wrong with dipping your toe. More fun to dip would be MARA since it mirrors the mining of crypto, moves a little more dramatically. In any event, have fun.To you and @RUTGERS95 - okay you crazy bastards, for fun and gambling, I bought 97 shares of ETHE which is enough for 1 Ether. Bought at the bell for 16.00.
