Yo Pit Crazies,
I went live last night with the lovely Ms. Hannah to walk through the biggest trading opportunity of the year. It’s not everyday you get a 10x return potential buy puts but there it is. Will a Vol Bomb go off this year like so many bombs before it?
- Japan Carry Bomb
- Fed Rate Bomb
- Liberation Day Bomb
How many surprises can the market take? Well, it can take a lot – and in each of the above it was a complete surprise. That’s what happens and usually it’s what the conventional wisdom least expects.

What is the surprise trade for next week?
Funny you should ask.
Pricing Anomalies are Keeping VIX Futures Higher
SPY rallied 20+ points this week and the VIX futures barely moved. We have the 4th of July Weekend and July 9th Tariff reprieves coming. Heck, SPY dropped .7% today from all time highs when the USA and Canada parted company on the tariff talks.

Ultimately those futures should drift to the cash after the 9th. That should be a great payday. It happened just like that after the election. Check that out here.
To Your Trading Success,
