RIP to Vance Harwood.
Vance was an absolute wealth of knowledge in the VIX ETP market. Back in the days when quality information on volatility products wasn’t nearly as accessible, he consistently put out incredible research and thoughtful pieces, particularly for independent investors trying to understand the space.
I’m not sure anyone came close to matching the consistency, depth, and overall breadth of knowledge he shared over the years.
May God rest his soul and bless his family during this difficult time.
A reminder to all of us that every day we get on this planet, is a gift. 🎁

We have 2 scenarios about to happen in $SPY
1. Down channel continues to hold lower and likely gap down during an upper boundary retest
2. We temporarily break the the down channel and flag, which will form another mini channel and gap down at that upper boundary

Mark Sebastian just noted concerns about Private Lending on #VolViews seem to be falling under the radar due to Iran - it's a concern and will cause some issues, but not to the extent of 2008 @Options @OptionPit @acamktinsights More here -

Harry Caray passed away on this day in 1998, but I expect he still found a way to have a cold one today. Much love to a legend.
