Pulling out of stocks and buying insurance on crypto

in SteemLeo4 years ago

With the major indices up about 25% from the bottom I am happy to book the gain and sell here.

I will continue to sell puts at lower strikes that I am ready to be assigned at. It is also a great way to make some income.

With the crypto markets following the traditional markets more than usual, I have take the opportunity to by puts on deribit as insurance. Variance has fallen lately but they are still expensive. The 5% fall today have already made the expense worth it.

Safe trading everyone

My favorite site for trading is Bitmex, as the future contracts allow for lots of arbitrage opportunities and the leverage lets me leave most of my stash safe in cold storage. If you don't already use it and would like to sign up, here is a referral link that will get you 10% off fees and rewards me with 10% of the fees you pay, we both win.

Similarly my favorite site for trading options is Deribit, Here is a referral link for that.

A few of the exchange sites I also use are binance, bittrex and hitbtc, I find them about as good as the other exchanges to be honest but these have referral links so I figure I'd shill for them.
