We go live in 20 minutes
The 23-year anomaly I have been warning you about. I break it down live, right now.

We go live in 20 minutes, at 9:15 am ET, and you want to be in the room for this one.
Here is the short version of why. Nasdaq volatility and S&P volatility move together. That is the rule, and right now it has broken in a way I have not seen in 23 years.
Options traders are pricing in 68% more turbulence for the Nasdaq than for the broad market over the next month. Nasdaq fear is reading near 31 while the VIX sits calm down around 18.
A gap like that will not stand. It either grinds back to normal or it blows up, and there is no question in my mind which one is coming. That is what I am walking through live, the whole setup and exactly how I am positioning for the fireworks I think are ahead.
The room is open now. Get in before we start.
To your success,
Don Kaufman
