Episode notes
Buy the Dip Mentality
- The market's "buy the dip" mentality is driven by the Fed and government's history of intervention.
- This time, their inflationary policy limits their ability to rescue the market, making the downside underpriced.
Market Crash
- Don't worry about a market crash; this situation resembles 2001 more than 2008.
- "T-WOP" (Two-Way Out of Position) into long positions, especially when the VIX is above 50.
Market Volatility
- The VIX has been above 35 since Friday morning, indicating high market volatility.
- Equity traders are exhausted due to the market's current conditions.
