  • QUESTION FROM GLEN WOLF:  HI MATT, I LISTENED TO MARK LONGO'S OPTIONS ADVISORS PODCAST. IF I HEARD RIGHT, YOU PREDICTED WE WOULD GO DOWN TO 180 ON SPY, AS THAT WAS THE 2016 ELECTION LOW. IS THAT THE EQUIVALENT OF WHAT THE SPY WOULD HAVE TRADED AT BASED ON SPX FUTURES OVERNIGHT ON ELECTION NIGHT? JUST LOOKING AT THE SPY CHART, I DON'T SEE A 180 LOW AROUND NOVEMBER 2016. BUT MAYBE IT'S BECAUSE IT'S A MONTHLY CHART OR SOMETHING. THANK YOU, GREATLY APPRECIATE YOUR INSIGHT.
  • COMMENT FROM ANGELO: LOOKS LIKE THE ACKMAN HEDGE WORKED OUT BRILLIANTLY. MAYBE THIS WILL BE A WAKEUP CALL TO MORE LONG EQUITY MANAGERS THAT THEY NEED TO HAVE A HEDGING STRATEGY IN PLACE OTHER THAN LIQUIDATING THEIR ASSETS.
  • QUESTION FROM ELDORADO: DO YOU SEE A LOT OF PUSHBACK FROM ADVISORS WHO PREFER TO USE INVERSE ETFS AS THEIR HEDGING STRATEGY AS OPPOSED TO OPTIONS? THANK YOU.
