I mean ITM from a put perspective. So if a speculative small cap goes from 4 to 9 quickly and then begins to rollover, I wager that retail’s short attention span will cause them to unload and move on to the next thing. In that scenario, I may buy a put with a 10 strike.

Thanks

I’ve intentionally tried to time stamp all my entries and exits. The strategy had a perfect track record up until JYNT, and I’m currently slightly in the red on a combined basis for the last three I posted about. But I’m hopeful that my macro view and the Russell 2000 flatlining mean the strategy will have a massive payoff if we see another big correction in the S&P.

Considering the overall price action over the past few weeks, how is your strategy doing?
I would think pretty good.

GSKY announced it was to be acquired by Goldman, so that hasn’t helped. Overall, though, still up triple digits on the strategy as a whole. It’s become more difficult recently, which might seem counterintuitive, but if you look at a chart of the Russell 2000, small caps haven’t sold off as much as you’d think. Going to keep it going though, because if and when we have a shite the bed moment, that’s when the returns will go parabolic.

Haven’t seen you post in awhile. Given the wild volatility in the markets lately, I was wondering how your strategy has been playing out.

There have been some days when I figured you’d be thinking about that dream house in Malibu.

Good luck.
