It is highly probable that putin staged all this just so he can buy the dip. The man is rumored to be worth 200b. (How did he amass that fortune?) We will have a clearer picture on Tuesday when market opens.
I just read some reddit posts. It seems we are not the only ones coming up with this conspiracy theory. The pieces do kinda fall together.
Wander why the media hasnt catched on or at the very least suspected that as a possibility given their recent history. I am willing to bet they they don't give two shits whether Ukraine joins Nato or not. Causing an war makes no sense since it will only destroy their own economy which doesn't align with their opportunistic behaviorial patterns. https://www.euractiv.com/section/en...as-prices-moscow-retorts-the-eu-messed-it-up/
Exactly. Kim and Xi know it too. Short via options, then go long via the same. 100:1 return. A blind man can see it.
i don't play option....but interested so i can deploy it in my future strategy. are you buying put option or selling call option? which strike price and how far are out in advance date are you looking at? also are you buying atm or out of the money?
well as usual ive got my eyes set on daytrading UVXY if bear reaction or SOXL if bullish... i'm loving this setup, volatility will be spectacular. im currently about 15k in inverses over weekend, almost no long exposure i pair trade by setting up a sequence of 4-5 trades each using OTO hard & trailing stops (I do both to mix it up and lock in profits w/trail stops on fast up and down spikes; and use hard stop positions to reduce shakeouts).
Just saw a video where a Whitehouse spokesman was asked if Russia would get kicked off the Swift banking system if they invade. The guy said no they would not. Biden already green lit a minor incursion a few weeks back. The US under Biden is weak as fuck. Putin knows this. So I think Putin is going in, he is not going to give up this chance which might not come around again in his lifetime. But even more worrying is China will then be emboldened to make a move for Taiwan while Biden is in office. Trump was unpredictable, that made him harder to strategise against. Biden is seen as a walkover.
