@NoelSmith and I joined @adamtaggart on @thoughtfulmoney to discuss how flows, macro, and policy interact.. Why timing and sequencing risk matter, and how we use options to build more precise, resilient portfolio exposures.

Yahoo is picking up our recent news; check it out below. I found an old trading fill ticket where I bought 10k shares of YHOO at $499, in fairness, it was a hedge on calls I sold. https://t.co/Zfj0SsqffV

I’m thrilled to announce that Kai Asset Management is launching two new funds run by two great additions to our team: @NoelSmith and Scott Maidel (@volatility911). This is part of our belief that, following last week’s midterm elections, U.S. markets will be volatile in the next two years. We got a taste of that last week.

Thanks to Bloomberg’s @BernardGoyder for covering the story.

My pleasure speaking with @maxwiethe and @jam_croissant about the macro and micro. How the market works from a mechanical basis and what is behind the moves.

[Max Wiethe @maxwiethe]

I spoke with @jam_croissant and @NoelSmith last Friday afternoon about near term crash risk. These were my major takeaways:

1) Neither saw a crash this week as very likely and said it would need to materialize early in the week.

2) There is a lot of hedged positioning between now and year end from $NVDA earnings, Nov Opex, December FOMC, and Dec Opex. It will be hard to crash until that is cleared out.

3) Populist politics are bipartisan and here to stay. This will drive inflation and higher interest rates.

4) We can not afford these higher interest rates. @jam_croissant believes a Treasury crisis is brewing, that it will kickoff in H1 2027, and that it will be met with QE.

5) The secularly higher rate environment they envision is is very good for the value factor and they expect it to outperform growth.

They also announced their recent partnership and collaboration at Kai Asset Management: https://t.co/o8I43HPzUZ

Noel's instincts are off the charts here, I remember in summer 2022 his "crash unlikely" call on my old show was terrific

Excited to hear his episode w/ @maxwiethe & @jam_croissant soon

There is a fly in my house. So of course my daughter thinks the best way to get rid of it is go to the store and get a Venus Fly Trap plant. We really did that. The fly lives
