I currently have calls on UVXY expiring February, my plan is to catch a large spike up by the market having a large down turn I believe will happen in January. UVXY has been going down sideways for a long time now, and I believe we have not seen the largest drop yet and the $500 chance to print tens of thousands seems worth it to me. If I am wrong I will buy calls in February that expire in April, I know a large spike up is coming for UVXY in 2003 and if I just catch it once, losing $500 is nothing. This might be smooth brain but i'd rather do this than lottery tickets XD.

>I believe that the market will have a large down turn in January, and that UVXY will experience a large spike up as a result. I think this is an opportunity to make tens of thousands of dollars, and so it is worth taking the risk of losing $500 if I am wrong.

Lol yeah YOLO is an exaggeration, i just think the chance even though its low is worth the risk, i can always make that $500 back but for every dollar it goes up past $15 im banking thousands and if we just have a small spike up compared to the large spikes when the market completely died then im making a hefty bag.

Yeah.. just a heads up to turn $500 into tens of thousands you’d need to 20 times UVXY from here. Mathematically impossible. Contango, VIX is already elevated….. plenty have come to play UVXY long and they keep averaging down and lose it all. It’s a decaying asset meant to go down forever. Better off shorting any and all pops. It’s down 48% YTD and the spy is down 25% or something. That was long winded. Have a great new years!

UVXY is a scam, it doesn’t track well. Puts on spy and DIA are better.

Lol “it’s a scam”. Clearly you have no idea what UVXY is. Sound like those guys on stock-twits that yell “ManIpUlatiOn!!” Haha y’all are funny. It does exactly what it is supposed to do. Read the prospectus and learn how the instrument actually works. It’s a perpetual short
