Good morning y'all! Happy Thursday! Another day of opportunity — and I want to give it to you straight this morning. The S&P 500 closed yesterday at 6,624 — down 1.36% — its lowest close of 2026. The Nasdaq dropped 1.46%, closing at 22,152. Those are real numbers and they are worth paying attention to. The VIX is sitting at 25.09, up over 12% in a single session. That is elevated fear. And when fear is this high, premiums on options contracts go up — which means our Deep Swings are feeling this. Anyone telling you otherwise is not being straight with you. Oil crossed $100 a barrel on Brent crude. Geopolitical pressure from the Middle East escalation is real and it is being priced into everything right now. Here is the honest truth. Deep Swings are built to handle volatility better than short-dated contracts — that is the whole point of buying extended time. But better does not mean immune. If your positions are red right now, that is real. Acknowledge it. What we do NOT do is panic-sell into fear. We check our thesis. Is the company still strong? Is the setup still valid? If yes — time is still on our side. If something has fundamentally changed, we manage the position accordingly. Eyes open. Heads clear. That is how we play this. 👊
