Good morning—it's March 21st, and it's Triple Witching Day. I'm still up in the mountains, the market’s open, and yes—if a kid barrels into the room mid-show, it’s just part of the experience today.
Markets are bouncing around, SPX levels are getting misquoted, and that’s kind of the vibe right now—chaotic but full of opportunity. So, let’s cut through it and get focused on the trades that matter.
Key Takeaways:
