VIX Ccrrruuussshhh

Since October we are up over 360% in Sharp B.E.T.S. and as vol comes down, like I predict, it should continue to get even better!! You can get in here.

Hey my trading friends,

Heading into tomorrow,  we have something we have not seen in a while….

Expectations for some seasonality aaannnnd…

Expectations for a lower VIX.

Typically coming out of November expiration,  traders try to ‘presell’  the VIX futures anticipating that options premiums will plummet.

The 1st sale will take place as traders gear up for Thanksgiving week,  which tends to be a snoozer.

Then,  start planning for the winter slumber that is XMAS through new years.

A few weeks ago,  the market did not seem to think that type of ‘risk on but short volatility play’ was possible.

Now,  the curve has completely normalized.

Notice the way the December future is trading at a full point discount to Jan on the far left side of the chart.

I think we are going to see VIX at less than $20 potentially by Friday,  if not early next week.

We then could see a WHOLE OTHER crush heading into the middle of December.

This would mean a completel crush of VXX and UVXY.

The VIX light is RED meaning that we expect IV to drop in the next 30 days.

Your Only Option,

Mark Sebastian
