Buying some VIX Calls for protection

After the huge movement in the markets, is time to buy some protection against our portfolio. Even though we might continue to see some movement to the upside, I think a small pullback is about to happen. Today, I am buying some contracts on the VIX Apr $16 Call @$4.00. Best wishes everyone,

Buying some $VIX $20 Calls

Just to have some protection going into next week, I went ahead and bought some VIX March $20 Call.
For the week, the market was up all four days, bad news = good price action.
I strongly believe we need to retest the lows of February before going full speed higher. The interest hike done by the Fed it would mean we have a strong economy, but that’s still not reflected in Main Street. We’ll see what happens next week…! But for this week, we are done!
