Thursday 20 Aug 2026 Morning Notes

I'm still running the summer schedule so I haven't been around much. I'd like to reflect on my VCX trade, where I predicted future volatility ahead and picked up a bunch of the August $25 puts when the stock was trading around $31/share. The volatility was realized, unfortunately in the wrong direction. My favorite part is that I'm typically a non-directional vol trader, and had considered a strangle but settled on puts. My puts are effectively up in smoke, while the strangle would have been a nice ripper. So damn typical.
