$UVIX 🎄 I like it for the market panic. What's not to like about it?

Last Friday UVIX calls @15 exp 7/15 sold on 7/13 and then some tesla puts @715 exp 7/15 sold on evening of 7/13
My Plan for Intergenerational Wealth : UVIX ---> SVXY ---> SPY ---> Real Estate
IMPP and RDBX where good bearish bets for the start of this month. Closed my position for big gains. ( over 20% IMPP and over 40% RDBX) not to mention the 50% gain with UVIX. Market is very low now and I don’t feel like being bearish at those prices. I’m BULLISH ON BOIL
Bull trap confirmed. Positions: UVIX @ 17.74/share. Held over the weekend. I do indeed, belong here.
Thoughts on the UVIX and the SVIX??
UVIX soared nearly 40% on the day! An investor's "dream" return, what other investment would have such a return?
UVXY :drakeno: UVIX :drakeyes: UVXY is BACK!

You can go inverse. UVIX SPXS or learn about credit spreads. You don’t want to go long right now
I closed this morning sweet tits. Just holding a few UVIX for fun. I'm not even a permabul. It just looks stupid. What I said angers you because you say stupid shit.
Before you say anything, yes, I may be a idiot. But at least I am not using AI like 90% of this sub. Earlier someone made a discussion post ridiculing the bears. This was very homophobic… Crude (ACTUAL PHYSICAL, NOT PAPER) oil is at a all time high. The VIX is about 18 (21 being the historical average). If looking only at the VIX you would assume that the current atmosphere is more calm and mild then usual. In other words, the money in the market is acting as if nothing is happening. Except we are in a situation where a significant (at the very least, noticeable) amount of Middle East oil infrastructure is destroyed, you have demand destruction in Asia, Africa, and soon Europe if this continues, the main person (Jesus Christ the Red Cross worker?) making the important geopolitical decisions is seemingly schizophrenic, most of the S&P is concentrated in about 7 companies (Nifty-Fifty flash back), and lastly the debt situation (both speaking about government and private) is interesting to say the least. Not necessarily saying the market will crash, but it would not surprise me, and I definitely think these are valid concerns. Anyway, let’s all argue about it like regards until it eventually happens 😀 (Last post was taken down by WSB bot for making a prediction without a position? Not making a prediction, but I have 522 shares of UVIX.)
I would recommend learning how to trade UVIX and SVIX. Volatility is the only certainty as this crisis unfolds. Go read up on the r/oil subreddit for more analysis. Industrial civilization begins to collapse without oil.
UVIX bagholder, reporting for booty. I charge $7 an hour. $9 if you prefer a dumpster with air fresheners.
I don't trade options for this reason. In the next few years, an opportunity will come to 5x your investment in UVIX as the stock market crashes. USL and BNO are on track to print if you can handle the volatility. The oil crisis hasn't really begun yet. However the market can stay rational longer than you can stay solvent. Good luck
I held UVIX calls over the weekend. After only making like $70 it was clear the market didn't care that talks failed and the strait was being blocked. So I bought MSFT calls and up bigly. I'm not fighting algorithms.
Look at VIX/UVIX, not making new lows and bottoming up. NYP story is fking fake. Look out below
UVIX moves faster if you’re not scared

should have been buying USO and UVIX when it was cheap like me. The market is so irrational and stupid - take advantage of it!
Is this finally the time UVIX call sellers lose the house
Imo buy UVIX calls a few weeks out or so if they are going for cheap, market is way too calm
I need TQQQ to spike up above 52 tomorrow to pay for this Yoga retreat my wife’s already on. Peace. Or UVIX to go nuts. War.
You typed all of that (no I didn’t read it all) over 4 shares of UPRO?! SPY going back down IMO. I’d take your profits and go short. VIX is considered to be inversely related to SPY. Some options, for Options. SVIX calls, UVIX Puts. Leveraged, liquid, weekly’s avail.
Im not trusting UVIX, looks spring loaded to the downside despite flat day, im out
You can get more leverage with UVIX calls. Same risk, more reward IMO.
Yup. I buy UVIX when I'm going the other way too.
I see mirror blips in SPY/USO/UVIX/XAUUSD... That pump is frail, be gentle bulls or you'll break it
I should’ve known this would happen since I blew $800 on UVIX calls at close 😭🥵
UVIX and nvda moving in the same direction... weird.
Idk I just bought calls and puts on UVIX
I've got both, cheap OTM call options alongside my SPXS and UVIX options
When the market is cooked - UVIX and Cboe to the rescue!!!
Damn UVIX is just stuck huh.
UVIX has just been bouncing on it crazy style for like 12 hours
UVIX calls here & there this AM is not disappointing
My UVIX calls got excercised on Thursday, and my buying power is locked up. :)
I’m up 44% because I get paid to not own stock. And the one stock I’ve been stuck with the longest is the UVIX.
Facts are: shipping lanes disrupted, more oil, gas and infrastructure destroyed daily, more troops and ships moving to the area. This doesn't end or normalize any time soon. PBRG, OILSF, BWET, ARGYF and I'll hop on UVIX for a daily ride if I can.
"I threw together a bridge infrastructure mega-corp over the weekend. Sold it at 800X profit on Monday. Looking to double that this week: AIXI or UVIX premarket, chat?"
UVIX buy the ticket take the ride
You can just hand onto the UVIX and sell covered calls on the shares. I sell CSPs on the UVIX all the time. I sometimes get assigned. No sweat because I wheel it. All my shares popped above my purchase price and I sold them last week. 🤷🏼♀️ why would you exit?
I know it didn't work out for me, but up until the moment I put my money in UVIX there was a 60% increase this month.
* UVIX * UVXY * VXX * SPXS * SDOW I believe in diversity.
Dude, I sell ETHU cash secured puts. Literally the only thing you need to do. You’re so fucking stupid. CSP. On MSTZ, MSTU, TSLL, UVIX, ETHU. I returned 42%. So like, just DM me. I’ll handle your portfolio from here. No fees, just tip me. I’ll work for your generosity. I don’t even give a fuck. I just know what I can do. And saving one idiot from himself might get me out of hell when I die.
Putting most of my money into TAIL and BRK-B. When the crash happens, these will do great. Until then, they'll do just fine. The rest of my money is being donated to whomever I'm getting my weekly UVIX calls from.
OILSF lots of torque re:market, PBRG 2X PBR [a safe old oil company in a safe old country (Brazil)], ARGYF a small, American helium company that starts production in July- right on time!, UVIX for fun.
So exhausted from life bs and this market manip combined. I want to play it but i'm largely on cash basis. I won't be able to reload vix till monday at best. I only have 10 UVIX calls now.
Hoping you bought UVIX calls of next week on that goofy lil pop
[❤️ UVIX](https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/s/OExAiJtKNS) Gonna try to enter at the next low instead with my profits. Won't need confirmations for the next week at least. Last entry was only 3/4 of the way down.
I have some UVIX shares @ $8.58 ea.
So my UVIX 10$ 4/02 are good rn hey?
My little UVIX calls play might save me?????
Ok UVIX, Daddy needs a new Cooperfish.
The time to buy UVIX was when rumors of strikes were happening back before all this
I grabbed some UVIX. I’ve protected myself so well either way that I’ve capped my gains and losses at 0. 😂
Its over guys. I hope yall bought UVIX yesterday.
A lot of this comes down to how options and futures actually behave. The VIX is a measure of expected volatility. It tends to go up when people rush to buy puts for protection during market drops. Options have time decay built in. If nothing **big** happens, they lose value over time. So even if you’re directionally right, you can still lose money if the move isn’t strong or fast enough. Futures are similar in the sense that they price in expectations. VIX futures are basically bets on how much volatility there will be in the next 1 to 2 months. If current fear is already high, those futures already reflect that. So when you buy something like UVIX, you’re not just betting on fear, you’re betting that fear **will get even worse** than what’s already **expected**. If volatility just stays elevated or only rises a bit, that’s often not enough, and you lose money as those expectations reset and roll forward. On top of that, constantly rolling futures and the structure behind them creates a natural decay over time, which makes holding these types of products a losing game unless you get a sharp spike quickly. That’s why this trade was rough yesterday. Fear was already elevated, expectations were already high, and it didn’t take much positive news for volatility to drop. When that happens, these products unwind fast, and leverage just makes the move more painful. TLDR, Buying these high is questionable. Holding these for ever is **guaranteed** to lose you money.
The stock is UVIX, it won't go up unless there is an escalation now that 🥭 hinted de-escalation yesterday.
I’m smokin UVIX pack at open
Sold 75 SPY call contracts to buy UVIX calls in my Roth today so it’s going to the moon tomorrow 😍
Lmao I was literally flipping put and calls as SPY bounced up and down over 647... $50 each time. Lotta trades but it was less risky. Started with $200 ended with $1200. But down like $300 on UVIX calls for 4/10. Market is pumping on old news that was repackaged into new headlines today. It'll crash tomorrow or Thursday when nothing developes and there's another missile strike but Iran, which just happened this morning on an oil tanker outside Qatar.
Generational UVIX buying opp
Taco. He's got nowhere to go. Keeping an eye on oil. Staying in UVIX. not financial advice
Hell, UVIX is VIXx2 and it just inverses spy. It doesn't care about massive "volatility"
Selling CSPs on UVIX been my bread and butter for 2 years. I got assigned a bunch of shares in the fall. Been selling covered calls on them. Just waiting for the VIX to pop off. Now’s the time!! I’m rolling it again.
I might just buy some far otm UVIX weeklies just to see if it pops off or not
S&P down, VIX down (barely), UVIX calls .. idling but ready to pop the clutch
& UVIX’ll be in greenland by 3P at this rate. 🌽 needs to either decouple or go shuck itself
UVIX just itching to go to 11
Im staying with my safe bitch JEPI but seriously thinking about talking up USO or CVX when she goes to the bathroom Im too chickenshit to talk to the insane smokeshows dancing on the bar (QQQ puts, UVIX)
Buying and holding UVIX is a bad idea… maybe for a day, a few at most. Overnight or weekend gaps could tank your position, not to mention the contango. There is no buy and hold with that one.
UVIX position locked in under $9 a month ago. Let the volatility & volumes roll. Duck…incoming.
Ive been buying SQQQ SPXU and UVIX the last month or so. I expect a bigger drop
i have quit my job and my entire small net worth is in UVIX calls. escalation ladders haven’t really changed on a global scale since 1700.
I think that VIX at $30 is a sign. I started buying UVIX weeks ago and am way up. This market slide is just getting started
I’ve been UVIX. The longer Iran holds on the more f’d up and disrupted the world becomes.
The slope on VIX lowest low is such a good play for UVIX... Its almost perfect.
I have SVIX put credit spreads for April and some ITM July credit spreads. No I’m not worried about early assignment. I also setup a calendar spread for next week. I prefer trading a leveraged fund it can move much quicker percentage wise. UVIX call credit also works.
I don't know, will it be that different? Last week, the VIX popped over 30 and Trump spewed some bullshit pre-market (critically, after the MM got to act and institutions got to act, but BEFORE I COULD SELL MY FUCKING UVIX, THAT DICK!) and at the beginning of the week it was like nothing had ever happened... WTI tanked, Oil was expensive, but we still all were in some jolly bull market. So, VIX went above 30 yesterday, but did a week before, on 3/23, and nothing happened. Before that, in the last 365 days, VIX has breached 30 about 4 times: On March 9th it went over 30 because of "Rammer Jammer: Operation Midnight Hammer". By 3/17, VIX was down 13.5% and it was like nothing happened. Before that was many moons ago - April 4, 2025. Liberation Day!!! It was bonkers, but we returned to our bull market. That's as significant as it got, and you use it as your marker, but that didn't really slow us down. And finally, before that, only significant event - August 5, 2024. The Yen Carry Trade Unwind... Still back to our bull market. Every other time between, it's gone over 30, gone back down... We kept the bull going. Why would this be any different?
Not too late for UVIX. Remember, it goes up fast and comes down hard...
Loading up on: UVIX, SQQQ, SPXU. This market is going to crater.
Me thinks same. Sold all my Tessler and Amazon in my Roth for OTM Tqqq/UVIX calls, hopefully that wasn’t too reguarded 😭
Me too. For weeks. SPXU and UVIX too
I've been loading up on UVIX, SQQQ, and SPXU ready for the fall
UVIX is looking sweet, until it isn't. Risk off here.
I did weeklies on UVIX this week and it worked out okay
Sold my UVIX too early
Closed my UVIX at 130% gain for the day. Had to close because I'm about to go into a meeting and don't want to be disctracted. Ugh
This shit accelerates exponentially as market gets more and more certain things are cooked, I've got UVIX options up over 100% and im still confident they will continue to rise
