⚠️ A warning: Do not try the reverse (Buying Spot/Selling Forward) just because the market is in steep Contango. That is the equivalent of trying to time a vol spike. "Many people die every year on this hill." It is extremely hard and not recommended.
February 12, 2026 at 6:30 PM
The Intuition: This is a mismatch. If Vol is truly 25 now, it is unlikely to crash to 12 next month. If the future is truly calm (12), the current 25 is likely unsustainable. The Trade: You Sell Spot Vol and Buy Forward Vol.
February 12, 2026 at 6:30 PM
Here is the math: Forward vol is the expected volatility between two future dates (e.g., between day 30 and 60). Sometimes, the market gets ahead of itself. You might see Spot Vol (VIX) at 25, but the math shows the market expects volatility between days 30-60 to be only 12.

$SPY: 9-day VRP SHORT at 56%. But 30-day RV LONG at 88% -- model expects realized vol to rise. Sell vol if you want, but keep duration short.

Holding IS a continuous roll. Every day you don't close, you're re-entering at today's price. Would you open this exact trade right now?

The Opportunity: While the crowd flees, we are selling puts on big tech. The market is pricing in risk without asking questions—which usually leaves the answers (and the profits) for those willing to take the other side.

We view this sell-off with "amusement and consternation." Do we really think Amazon is about to be disrupted by kids coding with LLMs? Unlikely.

The data is real: 4% of GitHub commits are now AI-co-authored. But the market reaction looks like panic. Investors are throwing out high-moat companies (like Amazon) along with the vulnerable ones.

Tech is bleeding. Companies like CRM dropped 11% this week on fears of the "Claude Code" moment—the idea that "Agentic as a Service" (AaaS) will disrupt traditional SaaS models.

Hedge smartly: If you need protection, don't overpay for long-dated puts. Instead, look at 0DTE (Zero Days to Expiration) options. They are currently a cheap way to cap risk against surprise headlines without dragging down your portfolio.
February 11, 2026 at 2:30 PM
We bet on the latter. The market is "piling on Band-Aids" for a wound that isn't bleeding yet. The play? Sell the overpriced Band-Aids (long-dated volatility).

The bellwether to watch is XLF (Financials). Implied volatility here is in the 75th percentile. Two scenarios exist: either banks are on the verge of a total collapse, or insurance is massively overpriced.

The Variance Risk Premium (VRP) is back. Because the market is terrified, implied volatility is trading significantly higher than realized volatility. You can currently extract ~6 points of VRP from US equities.
