Iceman gave me the idea with his VXX call spreads. Just a small one to mess around with. Synthetic short stock with a long disaster call.
VXX Jan 16 2026 55/55/85 @ 16.00 debit.
And:
Sold VXX Sep 13 2024 55.0 Put @ 2.95

It’s getting KOLD
#Contango ETFs Nat Gas moving up, and KOLD has re-entered sell territory.
Sold to Open $KOLD Feb 50 call for 2.95. I went pretty far above mid-price and got filled immediately, so you can probably get more than I did. This is my only position in KOLD.

#Contango ETFs Sold $UVXY Feb 17th 24 Call at 0.24 when UVXY was at 21.02. I will roll out and up if needed. Alert set at 24. That’s all the red cape waving I can do for this bull.
