Hypothetical "Volmageddon 2.0" using newly launched $UVIX Etf. ( Swipe right for 1.0 in $UVXY )
$UVIX 🎄 I like it for the market panic. What's not to like about it?
Chances for a UVIX 2x run up ahead - be on the look out for bad news.
Down 63k in the past month on UVIX (2X leveraged VIX etf)
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!

So is UVIX just free money for the next 3.5 years? According to the chart it looks like free money around this level forever
Just going to keep stacking UVIX as this thing is about to blow up eventually.
UVIX is one hell of a bargain right now
UVIX has kicked me in the balls for another day in a row https://preview.redd.it/9r0qu78mpnbf1.jpeg?width=2700&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2dad6e4d4e32c5babd7d3deeb7d98cfdc8391071
6. Go all in on UVIX. Thank me later.
Damn my UVIX calls might print
UVIX shares, TSLL calls, UNH leaps
Wake me up when my UVIX calls are worth something
Thank god I didn’t sell my UVIX position lol I was getting annoyed
I full ported UVIX with my Roth 401k. Let’s get a quick 2-3x this week hehe
20% swing in UVIX would give me a 4% gain overall. I THINK this is enough to hedge myself for 10 days over vacation. *To sell or not to sell .. *
Stop giving me false hope lol - UVIX bag holder here
Cuz it priced in volatility for Friday as well. In reality UVIX didn't move at all. It's like how VIX always goes up on Monday too
I have started buying more commodities - commodities themselves as well as miners and refiners, VLO, BP, BHP, FCX plus UVIX as a defensive strategy. Market has been too goo for too long. However, a great argument can be made for AI continued growth.
I’m no ber but I’m bullish on UVIX 🤠
All in on UVIX shares seems like a monster play
The UVIX calls are bleeding me, but at least the 0dte SPX calls have been keeping me up
Zero action on my UVIX shares since I bought on the 27th
For the love of god give me a 10% UVIX day before the 4th and ill nut everywhre.
I love the stock market. UVIX is going to 20, but my calls are still gaining value
"I only go down now." - UVIX
Hoping I don’t have to hold onto these damn UVIX shares too long lol I’ll be happy with a few % gains
Sup losers. How are you profiting off the dismantling of the American empire? I'm holding UVIX shares
UVIX looks much more dangerous. It was 7800 three years ago go and now only 22.
Porting 10% into UVIX ought to protect you from a full market crash. Honestly not a bad move when we're at ATH and chances of recession in the next year are over 50%.
I'm balls deep in UVIX, but if Vix stays at $16 I make so much. LFG
UVIX feeling like low risk / high reward down here.
I’m loading up on UVIX down here. And when that shit pops, using gains to buy the dip.
Threw about 6k on UVIX today. Not necessarily because of tariffs. Just have a funny feeling. Fully aware it may be my dumbest play yet, and that’s saying something.
VIX is yelling that a drop is coming here. Load up on cheap Vix puts if you disagree but a drop is on the way! But ignore me i'm a dirty bear. !banbet UVIX 26 4d
Why? UVIX rarely goes under $17. Any amount of volatility and it's up above 20 in a blip.
I put $80K into UVIX 2 days ago. Down 9%, but, it's not if it hits, but when.
I just got fucked on my UVIX and my AAPL Nice!
47 shares AAPL - 9.45k 75 shares UVIX - 1.75k
75 shares UVIX, 47 shares AAPL, 180 shares BULL
Am I a bull if I have AAPL and UVIX shares
go as degen as possible, 2x leverage with UVIX
I put $80K into UVIX today.
Not one stock in my portfolio doesn't have options to counter it. Delta adjusted - VIX calls / short UVIX, SPXS calls / SPYU, SMH puts / SOXL ...etc. My most common mistake is not buying enough on dips, when others are getting stopped out by algo hunting, my limit buys kick in.
I bought like 6k worth of UVIX today and it dipped hard. Makes no sense. It should come around with Mango in office.
How good is UVIX right now?
Vix is so fluid thats way too far out because it will naturally reset to this area (15-20) Gotta do it 30 day out max Source: Full port UVIX with Vix puts each 10% run up to buy more UVIX
I’m prepared to load some VIX below 16 and UVIX below 24.
I made $120 on UVIX in 30 minutes. I got so lucky 😭
VIX was 19 before the Iran war Now it's 17 $UVIX the play here?
UVIX says that’s a lie….run around Israel n dodge missles
I still think UVIX plays are a thing tomorrow.
Opened up a UVIX position on Friday afternoon expecting some nonsense over the weekend. Also generally expecting a slow grind lower in the market overall this week based on historical seasonality.
No it isn’t. All these moves have been predictable. For instance, I bought UVIX calls on Friday that expire next week. Once traders realize that news doesn’t move markets, news is the scapegoat for why the market moves, then those traders will finally start being profitable
Im in UVIX live a lil dude 🤣😂
Does me buying UVIX calls on Friday make me an insider? Or was it just market structure saying market is ready for a pullback, and any news event will be used as the excuse to initiate that move
Last August 5th, a Monday, my VIX calls exploded overnight, I was shorting .5 the Delta equivalence in UVIX shares to the extent that I almost ran out of buying power at 8:30 am, by the end of day I was up 15% total account. My best day all year, one man's trash is another's treasure.
Fam its too late gotta do UVIX puts at this point unless you think an escalation is going to happen throughout the week. Look at two weeks ago where it dropped 15% the next day after a run up
The past week, I bought shares of DFEN, GUSH, UVIX, SDS, calls for SPXU SPXS and puts for a few companies. Will snatch up 10 shares here and there of SVIX when VIX is up. If it drops below 12.50 I’ll buy a 1 month out call for 13. 100 SHLD but not trying to to play with a CC right now
I bought IWM puts and UVIX shares on Friday.... can we open the casino yet???
I own an oil well and 1000 shares of UVIX at 26, I'm not that dumb. RKLB has earned me 40k in the last month.
My prediction is UVIX will open at 8pm +22%
UVIX TO $40 THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. War sucks tho why do we do this
My UVIX order didn't fill at 7:59pm Womp womp
i was so comfortable with my positions yesterday. Should've bought UVIX
Any degenerate here bought some UVIX calls? I got some 30c weeklies.... hopefully shit hits the fan.
Sold my UVIX for a loss yesterday. Oops
TLDR: OP and I are both in UVIX again. I’m full-porting (my “play” money port) and checking the outcome on Friday. OP is half-porting and is (honestly) being much smarter about it than I am. Trump could announce no involvement, witch sabbath could be nothing this quarter, mid-week holiday could have zero impact on VIX.
I didn’t load more UVIX before close by asking myself when is the last time I won.
UVIX SQQQ is much better imo tho it’s volatile as shit
UVIX + SQQQ is the play
I bought right at the bottom of the 15% UVIX drop on Monday. Kicking myself I didn't buy more. With FOMC tomorrow I only see things getting spicier.
I have 42 shares of AAPL (8.3k for a blue chip) 180 shares of BULL (1.9k for a good, risky play) 65 shares of UVIX (1.8k for short term hedging) Rate my boring portfolio
Soo do I buy UVIX rn??
TACO is a regard $UVIX now
I thought you were replying to another comment i made where i said i panic sold my UVIX shares this morning lol
I had a fuck ton of UVIX shares and sold them to buy 0TDE calls lmao
My AAPL is underperforming, my BULL is getting fucked, and my UVIX is slaughtered Crazy 🥲
I sold my UVIX yolo mid day Friday. I think im regarded and its going up another 20% tomorrow :( TESLA 300P 6/20
I had some UVIX and sold them on Wednesday. 🤬Way too early. Go them when it was $23
Au contraire, you can gamma scalp by shorting VXX, UVXY or UVIX or long SVIX, it's usually a very boring gradual upward slope with periodic explosions, April was insane. The reason I do that is that very often the VIX explodes late night when you can't sell the option. I do the same with SPX and a few commodities.
Yeah UVIX was obvious at those levels and the news that was coming out all week, I had 25% of my port in it
I feel like i keep missing obvious stupid plays - getting UVIX before liberation day when I literally had the chance to, getting any small cap energy plays, getting RKLB when it was just warming up, getting nuclear stocks when we clearly knew trump was going to pass an order on it ugh. All of these plays aren't sudden events as well, I had time to prepare well in advance but I feel so stupid now I could have 4x or 5x my portfolio till now!
I’m still thinking UVIX is at a discount rn
At what point should I sell UVIX. Tough one to hold over the weekend
Glad I bought 2200 shares of UVIX now
Wow vix is up big time. Some degen mentioned to go all in one vix UVIX is the way to go
You mean 'Israel and the US attack Iran'. Trump 1,000% did this. BTW, today and bought TONS of inverse ETF's - UVIX ... so happy
UVIX overnight chart be like: ---------1--
Lost most of my port over the past month. But been riding a bunch of 6/20 puts out anyways I bought in April. Yesterday I saw oil bull flagging and picked up super cheap calls. Bought an RTX 150c for tomorrow at $1. Today was on break and had the same feeling about UVIX calls, and snagged two $30cs. Been holding GLD calls for 6/20 and 7/18 too
