We Had Two Markets Today
ANDREW GIOVINAZZI November 21st, 2025 Yo Pit Crazies! Here’s how to actually measure market fear: watch VIX calls AND at-the-money SPY calls simultaneously. When both spike together, you’re seeing real terror. When VIX calls hit weekly highs but SPY calls stay calm, someone’s about to blink. Today, someone blinked hard. We had […]
Bitcoin Stole the Show
ANDREW GIOVINAZZI November 20th, 2025 Yo Pit Crazies! Bitcoin futures dropped under $87,000 – and that tells you everything about where this market is headed. Most people still think Bitcoin is digital gold. I’m seeing margin call triggers. Bitcoin isn’t behaving like a store of value anymore. There’s leverage in it now. […]
The Odd Paradox Nobody’s Talking About
ANDREW GIOVINAZZI November 19th, 2025 Yo Pit Crazies! 24 VIX should mean the market’s ripping 1.5% to 2% daily moves. We can’t even get 1% close-to-close out of SPY. The VIX is screaming fear while stocks refuse to sell off… and that’s not supposed to happen. Here’s what makes this the most odd […]
Will Nvidia Save Us?
ANDREW GIOVINAZZI November 18th, 2025 Yo Pit Crazies! Yesterday, most traders were worried about NVIDIA (NVDA) earnings. Wrong focus, Pit Crazies. The reality is stocks are rotating. While everyone sweats today’s after-bell numbers, smart money is already moving to the next wave. Here’s what rotation actually means: companies that are worth […]
When Digital Gold Becomes Digital Panic
ANDREW GIOVINAZZI November 17th, 2025 Yo Pit Crazies! Bitcoin is supposed to be the risk-on trade – the digital gold that screams higher when markets get frothy. Except right now, Bitcoin is acting like the exact opposite. It’s becoming a risk-off trade, and that should scare the hell out of anyone paying attention […]
This Tells Me If This Rally’s Real or Fake
ANDREW GIOVINAZZI November 14th, 2025 Yo Pit Crazies! Bitcoin dropped under $100,000 this week. That’s your signal the market’s carnival ride might end soon. Here’s the thing most traders miss: Bitcoin isn’t just crypto – it’s the ultimate risk-on/risk-off barometer. When traders are loving that $100,000 per coin Bitcoin, generally the appetite for any stock […]
How I Turned a $265 CSCO Call Into a 5,900% Win
ANDREW GIOVINAZZI November 13th, 2025 Yo Pit Crazies! Most traders would have sold this Cisco (CSCO) call for 65% gains back in July. Instead, I held for 5900% using a strategy I learned watching floor customers who understood something retail traders miss: how to stack profits for maximum upside while eliminating additional risk. Here’s exactly […]
Luck had nothing to do with it
ANDREW GIOVINAZZI November 12th, 2025 Yo Pit Crazies, I may be into Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) January 2026 80 calls for a plain nickel, but this wasn’t luck: it’s watching a “fingerprint” nobody else pays attention to. While everyone chased NVIDIA headlines this summer, I was watching something way more telling… Massive institutional money quietly […]
Proximity is everything, especially in Las Vegas in 1965
ANDREW GIOVINAZZI November 11th, 2025 Yo Pit Crazies, For Veterans Day, I have a story about my favorite veteran, Capt. Felix (Sam) Giovinazzi. The Family jazzed up his grave a bit for today. The year was 1965. My mom and dad were 3-days married and driving from Los Angeles to meet my Grandma, Mary Giovinazzi, […]
Markets Celebrate Congress Doing Absolutely Nothing
ANDREW GIOVINAZZI November 10th, 2025 Yo Pit Crazies! Turns out the best thing Congress did during the shutdown was absolutely nothing… and the market loved them for it. SPY just jumped to a two-week high, and traders are grinning like they found money in their old jeans. The NASDAQ was booming, oil stocks made a […]
