Kevin…Thanks for your viewership. My goal is to provide direction of different assets, not tools to use. I have many viewers that use the blogs research to buy and sell options, similiar to yourself, which I think is great! For those like yourself that understand options please go for it!!!

Thanks for sharing Chris, I’m curious: I noticed you recommend using inverse ETFs and the like when trying to score on defense. Is this due to simplicity in your recommendations, or do you trade options (puts, etc.) as well?
I trade options mostly, and have noticed at times the spread between puts on a traditional vehicle can be less than buying calls on the inverse. Don’t know if it’s a function of bid-ask spread, or what, but I usually try to go 1-2 strikes out, and the same distance in a put will often be cheaper than a call of the inverse vehicle.

Kimble, you are da man. You are in the zone, dude. Moving gracefully within the ebb and flows of this present market.
