Jay,

I don’t know if you’ll see this since everyone has moved onto the next week’s blog. As I said, I don’t follow VIX and SVXY but in looking at the collapse of SVXY in hindsight, this could have been a huge winner for someone long who was collaring it and using an ITM call as proxy for the underlying. Woulda, coulda, shoulda but it’s an example of how controlling risk can occasionally be a big winner.

Options Action show on 2/9/18 had an interesting historical analysis of previous similar market corrections comparing the average market performance 1 month and 3 months later. All results were pointed to a positive picture for coming out of this correction.

Kerry,

When our stocks gap down due to overall market decline and not corporate fundamentals or negative news, it is reasonable to close our short calls and roll down to out-of-the-money strikes. Panic cannot be part of the equation. Corporate earnings, the US economy and global economies are all healthy and the new tax plan favors continued corporate success. US politics remains my concern but the market has proven resilient in this regard.Here is a link to an article I wrote several years regarding this matter:

I had a question regarding the market volatility recently. In my portfolio I currently have some stock which I had planned to sell after the Feb 16 friday because they were coming out with earnings. Since the recent market volatility my stock have plummeted. I did buy to close all of most of my options for this month, however the stocks have all have taken a huge downturn. My question is should i sell my stocks to minimize my loses, or should i wait to see if they recover in the coming months. On average the stocks have lost about 15-25%. Currently I was planning to not sell and trade options on the stocks until they rebound some so I can minimize the losses. But I am afraid the stocks could possibly move down more with the volatility in the market and with there earnings approaching. I knew there would be a market correction at some point. What advise would you give to a newer blue collar investor like myself.

Thank you,

Kerry
