I have a few calculations related to volatility investing, including contango.

I understand the reason many people use contango as an entry point for short volatility, however contango is...

Very nice VXX profit today. I hate buying long volatility but it's sometimes wise when the VIX is dragging across rock bottom lows.

Back to short volatility.

True, and aligns with Howard's mention of personal issues on Monday.

Didn't Howard say that Jimmy Fallon was going to be on today?

Odd - a new account directly quotes me?

This is correct. In the short-term many traders ignore fundamentals, however when things turn down and the market becomes fearful, they flee to the fundamentally strong companies.

And many...

Although I do believe the market has been very overvalued for a while now, it's amusing seeing the financial media scatter everywhere like a recently kicked ant pile.

These types of drops weren't...

That's the thing. There's nothing on the recent horizon that people perceive as impending doom (although that's the case in any bubble).

I've been tracking short volume for a few years now and it is back at 2013-2014 levels. Short selling spiked in 2015-2016 and significantly dipped down after the election, so that does have a lot to...

I do agree there's not one specific factor looming over the market which can signal a correction or crash. This is likely the reason why investors are so willing to keep buying at these levels, and...

Sounds like a 16 year old but actually nearly 40

With Labor Day next Monday, we may be looking at a two-weeker

Was missing Grandma Caprio this week

Hey all - I noticed some recent posts in this thread so wanted to give an update on how things were going.

Plus he isn't responsible enough to hold a show together. Another reason he needs someone else to lead.

Too bad Howard isn't letting him back on the air.
