Thanks again for the awesome analysis, thoughts, and information.

I’m not sure if I speak for other people reading the site when I say this – ordinarily I’d comment more, but your posts are usually dead on in a uniquely insightful way, just don’t feel like there is much to add or discuss most of the time.

Anyway, looking forward to a bright future for your blog – this is a rough time in our nation’s history, nice to weather the storm in such great company.

My actionable trade idea was VXX. I think I will be adding some tomorrow. Think about it. Market goes crashing down, VIX goes nuts. We get another 30 days of retarded rallies, then people will want to protect the downside as any fool should know this thing is floating on wilting shoots.

Just throwing it out there.

That’s a big trade on the options market.

$850k doesnt sound like a lot for me. could just as well be some hedge fund putting on a macro hedge.

I should add Hank – don’t expect a new Trade of the Day each day. I am trying to post constructive actionable trading ideas. I am not gonna just start throwing ideas out there like it’s Cramer’s worthless Lightning Round. But I’ll try to throw an idea out there each day for readers to chew on….Thanks again.

“we’re wondering what this guy knows that no one else does”

If the “guy” is Mr. Goldman Sachs, then I’m guessing a lot of people would be nervous.

Hank,

I’m still tweaking the site. I’ve had mixed reviews so far, but I think once I get it cranking that people will really like the new layout. The old blog format was too restricting. Anyhow, thanks for the nice words.
