@EffMktHype@AlphaPicks Interesting that you find people short rates. I’d interpret what happened in September as longs rates got stopped. Could you elaborate a bit more about people’s positioning? Thanks
@Alpha_Ex_LLC Great post! Could you elaborate more on this SKEW index vs. the skew of “25-delta put vol minus call vol”? Do they measure different kinds of skewness? Which one is more telling of people’s willingness to buy insurance? Thanks 🙏
@archietradesea1 Hi, I have raised a feature suggestion and it's been a while. Could you please check case number [## 4884 ##] Make a Standalone Stop Loss Order in iOS App? Thank you
@EffMktHype@VKMacro Great thread! What do you think of the SOFR 1-Month future? I see it designed in the same way as the Fed Fund future. Why does it have less volume to the Fed Fund future? Granted, the Fed Fund future doesn’t have great liquidity, either. Thanks
SK Hynix leveraged ETF making changes...
Who knew an ETF had so many decisions to make?
Options can no comprise 40%(!) of the exposure. Being forced to use options is not something that will work out well.
Keep an eye on this...it is the center of the storm for an unwind in the semis/chips component of the AI trade that is approaching.

Warsh isn't hawkish. He's credible. Markets are reading his arrival as new ownership and restored confidence at the Fed.
By killing forward guidance, we'll go from "no way they hike" to "we don't know, they could." That unknown forces the market to price a tighter path on its own. Higher hike odds, but term premium is getting clipped.
This is a confidence booster, not a threat.
@darioperkins Now you put everything in CAPS, it feels even more sarcasm… Anyways, love your analysis and the podcast. One suggestion to Freya: please be more clear and direct with her opinions.
