Also got to profitably exit some stock ($APA and $WYNN) recently acquired via Put assignment. I’d rather be long more cash and less stock during this bear market.

$SVXY $UVXY – the volatility trader’s golden cross is when the price of UVXY drops below the price of SVXY. As long as that relationship holds, the #VXXGame should be profitable.
I’m content to sit with my existing UVXY short Calls to expiration or a closing price of a penny. As the weeklys roll off, week by week, the buying power in my accounts increases. and leaves me set up to begin selling aggressively on the next volatility explosion.
