If you want a gamble, look at AXON. Biotech awaiting approval of an Alzheimer drug this month.

Any futures traders here? S&P 500 futures have been hovering -0.2% to -0.5% since the hydrogen bomb. Nikkei hovering down a percent.

Anyone buying the dip tomorrow? Selling calls? Buying puts?

I imagine some of my faithful stocks, NVDA and SHOP, should correct pretty had after last weeks climb.

GBTC short (if possible) should be a profitable play based on BTC.X downswing over the weekend.

I finally caught on with LIT and taking a shot with BLCM

If (and it's a big if) you can short GBTC, wouldn't arbitrage (short GBTC / long BTC) offer a better risk/reward? GBTC was recently trading at a 100% premium over BTC.

Although to prove once again that the market can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent, here's a post on EliteTrader about trying to short it over a year ago (!) when the premium was a mere 30%:

Ldo. Can you check and see whether the VIX short that you told me about years ago is the ex-Target dude? I think you said he was argumentative on Yahoo.

Possible that I am misremembering.

anyone bought anything today? i was thinking a bit about NVDA dip but it's hard to really take into account how much of a revenue loss in the future it is that China is discouraging ICOs and how it might set a precedent for other nations so i kind of avoided that.

Saw a huge options volume buying X calls so bought a little aswell just riding the momentum a bit. Will see if that works out

There a trade for hurricane Irma? If it makes land in Florida, wof. The size they are projecting now is insane.

Short some insurance companies? What else?

buy HD, CAT, any other construction equipment company

Florida is a bit more ready i think so the damage shouldn't be as bad as it was in Houston. But who knows tbh

BXS may be a weather play. I have no position though

didn't sell any vix since vol never really crept up as high as i would have hoped. it just a threat of nuclear war between two unstable leaders. vix will probably dip below 11 at some point this week but i'll wait for a better opportunity

Generally insurance companies make a killing after a disaster. Nothing makes you want to buy fire insurance than seeing your neighbor's house on fire. Since this is widely known, I don't know if there will be a play.

Martin Shkreli breaking down AXON for over an hour. Interesting to watch his research methodology and see his conclusions.

I find GMS an interesting hurricane stock. Floods ruin drywall, and they will get increased profit margin from gouging insurance companies
