You have not responded to any of my proposals that I have sent over the past 5 months and it makes no sense to continue to work together with this uncertainty. I am sorry things did not work out. On a separate note if you want to short the market over the next month: I. Buy March 2019 25 strike VIX calls a. Cost 50c b. March VIX futures are currently at 17.15 (got as high as 26 back in December) c. If we get a vol spike in the next 3-4 weeks I would think these are worth —$2.00 2. Buy SP500 puts. Vol has come down making this a pretty clean way of expressing the view. a. Buy March 2019 2600 SPX Put for $20. This is 4% out of the money OR b. Buy March 2019 2700-2550 Put spread for $34. Max payout is $150. 3. Sell covered calls on some of your single stock positions as single stock vol in your names remains elevated.
