Twas always going to happen based on basic chart technicals. Hard part was timing it.holy crap that's a big drop
This is pretty fascinating/scary
Insanity in Options
The convexity skew picture on big-name equities like Apple $AAPL has gone parabolically stupid. Let’s keep this simple and draw a conclusion.
Apple $AAPL Stock near $130
Jan $180 Strike Calls costs $4
Jan $80 Strike Puts costs $1
*Both options are $50 out of the money, approx data, BUT it is nearly 3x more expensive to buy upside risk in AAPL equity. Downside protection normally costs more than upside risk participation, NOT today. What does this mean?
It's crazy that 4th liner CBII is carrying my cannabis team while Matthews, Tavares, Marner and Willy stumble all over the ice.

Guess they're about to make some more acquisitions.
Soccer mom thinks this tanks another 15-25% from here.
Yeah I've seen him compare the chart to the Jan. 2018 correction. Which is fine. It's good to have a thesis. History could easily repeat itself. But where GUSH mom goes wrong is that he doesn't adapt when it doesn't play out.anything is possible in this crazy market. There are a number of ways the parabolic rise in tech can be addressed — a swift two day wonder or months of congestion.

Yup. If you go too balls deep in your thesis like GUSH mom does, you can be underwater real quick. He kept averaging down and down on his short. And was absolutely decimated. Until yesterday. He could have just played bullish up until yesterday and gone short within the first hour or two of trading and he would have crushed it way more than being as early as he was. And now he's committed to another 15-25%. But what's his exit strategy? What if something happens that doesn't support the "history will repeat itself" narrative (which btw, I hate when fintwit uses historic events to prove that something will happen again).yeah...I learned not to go all in on my predictions. Yesterday was one of the best days ever in my trading account, and all it took was a smattering of SPY puts. My RRSP got solid protection from long dated QQQ puts and UVXY calls.
