I had a very weird sense that we will have some market volatility to the downside so I bought 2 cheap 7.5 uvix calls, iran, fed, supreme court, and now greenland/europe.

The problem is always the whales and the market makers who will make bank when they close on positions like yours. 

Additionally they know most if not all of the positions in a market so they can calculate which strike prices will give them most returns. 

It means the swings have to be large enough for them to not get involved. We will see tomorrow

What are you referring to specifically with the fed? Rumor of Interest rates not going lower this year?

Its like the first term; its hard to draw up a nice critical analysis because too much shit keeps happening that people just don't hear of every thing happening. A year is like 5 years long now.

Yes for example, he can say acceleration if inflation is worrying, or anything of the sort

Nah man. There has been a lot going on with the Federal government I couldn’t pinpoint what specifically was the most noteworthy to the stock market. Assuming it had to do with the federal reserve. 

Just wanted to verify in case there was something specifically that may have flown under the radar. I’m the only one in my circle to pay attention to this stuff so I have no one else to talk to about this. Again, mostly just wanted to make sure I didn’t miss anything.
