How to Secure $7600+ Profits During Market Turbulence?

The $S&P 500(.SPX)$ dropped by 1.2%, and the $NASDAQ(.IXIC)$ fell by 1.79%. But amidst this turbulence, there's an index that's defying the odds, soaring by 47.81% this month. Can you guess which one it is?

How can one reap substantial profits during turbulent times? Let's dive in!

Let's give a round of applause to @Jo Ker for his remarkable achievement, securing a $7,623.75 return by investing in $VIX calls! 🎉

I choose to take a bit of profit even for my VIX hedge. May not be a good decision but it is not wrong to take a bit of profits as the options price is volatile itself!

What is the $Cboe Volatility Index(VIX)$? Can it be traded?

The VIX Index measures the expected volatility of the U.S. stock market over the next 30 days, derived from real-time prices of S&P 500 call and put options.

The infamous "fear index," the VIX, settled above $19 for the first time in over six months.

Concerns arose due to the Federal Reserve signaling that rate cuts may not be as frequent as previously assumed for the remainder of 2024. Consequently, all sectors of the S&P 500 experienced declines.

Despite the ongoing inflation fears fueled by the employed and spending U.S. consumer, as well as escalating tensions in the Middle East, individual stocks are starting to report results, further affecting risk appetite.

Amidst this volatile market, would you consider hedging risk with VIX?

Or do you have other hedging strategies up your sleeve?

      Hi bro! It is not much different from trading shares. Options give you the rights to exercise it if you are in the money or hit the strike price. Personally l prefer it over shares as it has a timeline for my trades which means l take th outcome within it whatever it is.

    but Tesla puts when it's raises to resistance or goes up for a while, because this stock is going down to Chinatown in the short term

      Buy it as a hedge for my long positions. I believe market correction is coming and VIX is at a low so it is a no brainer.
