Happy expiration.

Market
I was thinking over the weekend about all of the insurance companies, banks, and bond funds that have maturities this year and the level of rates. It makes no sense to buy a 10 year treasury note at 1.40 or an even lower yield. The cash from maturities has to go somewhere and I can only think of the stock market and property. So stocks are the only place to go that is liquid and with no increase in site this year, it looks like a higher market.
Having said that, there is always a black swan event that could happen to give us the correction that many of us want to see. All I do know is that when this ends, it is not going to be pretty.

If only Gartman would get bullish on NUGT I could break even.

I should have known that this was a bear trap today when I saw an article by Goldman Sachs that said the market was going to go down big.

Good Morning
We are getting a nice bounce this morning.
VIX
I find it odd that the market finished down 1.5% and more on the SPX but the VIX was also down 2.7%. I guess it is telling us that we are going to get a bounce in the morning.
SVXY
STO 25 put @ 2.80

Jeff, how does your VIX indicator look? It seems to have a tough time stating above 25?

STO September 35 put @2.50
I did not think I was going to have any trades today.
SVXY
With the DOW and SPX down you would expect the SVXY to be down more than it is. The largest open interest is at the 50 put and then the 52 put. I think they are trying to pin it above 50 and perhaps 52.
Good morning
I am expecting a quiet day so do not anticipate much action.
SVXY
STO SEPT 16, 35 put @2.50, adding small to my position. I was trying to sell 31,32,33,34, puts but only got one fill on the 34 puts.

STO July 1, 35 put @0.80
SPX,SVXY
Trying to keep things in perspective. From the recent high the SPX is down 3.2% and the SVXY is down 27.5%. There sure is a lot of volatility out there.
