Holding a big NET SHORT POSITION into end i
of week, month, and Aug/Sep vacation from next week. May add ST hedges but prefer to increase NET SHORT as market rises to new ATH.
"As the Fed looks to stick a soft landing, attention has turned to pace.
The central banks officials have signaled in recent weeks that theyre ready to start cutting rates when they next meet in September, with price pressures now easing but the jobs market cooling. Thats put attention on how fast they should bring down rates from a two-decade high. WSJs Nick Timiraos unpacks why, for Chair Jerome Powell, the last phase of the Feds inflation fight marks a make-or-break moment."

I think volatility is going to kick up again just on the fact that call options are pricing in the stratosphere once again. Always think they can't get any worse lately but they seem to be. They're such a great sell as the hopers think they'll get 2% moves every day. Plus you have the fact that the market is overbought, the bond rally is long in the tooth and the Vix isn't coming down that much, its getting interesting as we approach old highs....
