Wanna yolo? Buy some calls on volatility.

Are you a regard? Do you wanna yolo? Tomorrow is triple witching with nearly $1T notional in derivatives expiring and it’s 95% calls. Dealers been dumping their hedge all week. Grab some OTM calls on VIXY, UVXY, or other related VIX product. Delta 20-40 depending on how much of a regard you are. April 19 expiration is ideal. This is not financial advice.
Edit: I’m holding VIXY $15Cs for this Friday and also April. Plus calls on SQQQ and SOXS.

This board has no idea what you’re talking about.

I’d say that you’re largely correct. But his YOLO has more substance than 99% of the ones that get floated on here. I've been following his posts for awhile and he’s not a great pretender (although that is a cool song ).
Learning about options is not as difficult as many make it out to be. There’s a learning curve, as with anything, but it can be a very lucrative and sustainable pursuit… if done with a serious, businesslike attitude.

I was joking, sounds like a copy/paste from WSB
I just learned “regard” the other day.

Thanks Jag. I have a website/substack I post weekly on with my thoughts and views but I also have some good options 101 stuff. Not sure about the rules on linking or sharing third party stuff.

Ok, so I’ll ask. What is a regard?
Posted on 3/14/24 at 7:45 pm to BourbonDad
delta 20-40 on the strike price? I'm very impressed but drop us some more hints in layman's terms

“Regard” is an intentional mispelling of “retard”. Its used in nearly every post on wallstreetbets nowadays.

Do you have any recommendations on resources for beginners to start learning?

Yeah, I prefer buying an option that’s a little out of the money. So I choose my strike based on delta then make sure the chart and everything else supports it reaching that strike plus more with plenty time left to expiration. It’s also a better way to communicate a trade regardless of product if that makes sense.

ProjectFinance on YouTube has a great in depth guide. He puts out good content for people new to options.
Posted on 3/14/24 at 7:59 pm to BourbonDad
Thank you, I will check it out.

Options is a zero sum game. Someone is going to lose. High risk, high rewards.
Posted on 3/14/24 at 9:19 pm to GAFF
No offense, but that’s a very popular myth.
Posted on 3/15/24 at 2:56 pm to Jag_Warrior
How is it a myth?
Someone sells the call or put. Someone buys it. It may be sold many more times until expiration but when it expires someone is holding it. Either it expires worthless and the holder is out of money or it is assigned and the seller takes a loss (from its current stock value). Unless I’m misunderstanding how options work.

Yes you do misunderstand options badly. 95%+ of volume isn’t between you and another person like me. It between you and a dealer who uses a hedging algo to buy and sell the underlying asset such that he has zero directional risk and simply collects the premium. Something Jag and I do. One side almost always wins (the dealer/market maker) but that doesn’t mean it’s a zero sum game either.

If any of this was durably repeatable, you'd be a kajillionaire.
I'm not saying you don't understand the fundamentals of options. I'm saying you're ridiculous for thinking it's possible to be good at what you're talking about.

lol alright buddy you’re right. There did that stroke your ego enough? Do you feel better getting that off your chest?
So to recap: I’m full of shite but you think I understand the fundamentals of options but it’s too complicated for your smooth brain to understand, therefore it can’t possibly work.
Got it thanks pal
