What an honor to have been featured in CBS news!

"The percentage of holdings certainly depends on the investor's risk tolerance and investment goals," says Barry Weinstein, founder and CEO of VolatilityMarkets. "Even so, as a general benchmark, investors could hold 5% to 10% of their total portfolio in gold and silver."

Gold and silver can serve as safe-haven assets during times of financial uncertainty, but it's important to buy at the right time.

11/03/2023

The (Silicon Valley Bank) crisis is still unfolding and there many investors are worried about the future of the U.S. financial system. Will there be further contagion that leads to a wide spread bank run? Another 2008 perhaps?

Some have described the sudden failure of Silicon Valley Bank as an "extinction event for startups" (Credit to Jason Yanowitz from BlockWorks for the quote!).

In times of panic, it is more important than ever to be objective and rational to make the best possible decisions and keep you fighting another day. So why not take a proactive approach to estimating the market's worst case scenario taking into account all available information.

Here's a list of the worst case scenarios for important equity indices so you don't get caught playing catch up in the event of a crash.

Nasdaq-100 worst case scenario:

"If markets remain as volatile as they have been, we are 95% sure that the price won't make or lose more than 12.981% within the next 21 Days"

https://www.volatilityfx.com/posts/be-prepared-to-lose-4-24-on-your-nasdaq-100-position-in-3-weeks

Dow Jones Industrial Average worst case scenario:

https://www.volatilityfx.com/posts/lose-5-32-on-dow-jones-industrial-average-in-3-weeks-what-are-the-odds

"If markets remain as volatile as they have been, we are 95% sure that the price won't make or lose more than 9.2791% within the next 21 Days"

Russell 2000 worst case scenario:

https://www.volatilityfx.com/posts/lose-6-53-on-russell-2000-in-3-weeks-what-are-the-odds

"If markets remain as volatile as they have been, we are 95% sure that the price won't make or lose more than 11.4427% within the next 21 Days"

S&P500 worst case scenario

https://www.volatilityfx.com/posts/lose-5-93-on-sp500-in-3-weeks-what-are-the-odds

"If markets remain as volatile as they have been, we are 95% sure that the price won't make or lose more than 10.3598% within the next 21 Days"

What are the odds? estimating SP500's Worst Case Scenario

VolatilityMarkets is on Reddit, Inc.!

Here's a quick comment I shared with a new trader asking for help while trying to get my high enough to post! I thought I'd share it here as well! Reddit is a strange place!

There are three primary methods of trading

Fundamental/Macro:
You can look at the economics of countries and try to create economic models, however simple, to find a fair value between two interest rates, GDP, unemployment, or whichever indicator you are assessing and then trade the strengths and weaknesses of the currencies as proxies for the nation's economic potential.

Upsides: There is some evidence that some experienced macroanalysts can outperform the market for extended periods of time.

Downsides: How do you know what to focus on and is it even possible for one entity to summarize the complex nature of a whole economy? It is an extremely daunting proposition and oftentimes leaves traders in analysis paralysis. Also market data can be expensive and slow while markets move quickly.

Best Book I'd Read:

https://www.amazon.com/Economic-Indicators-Really-Journal-Original/dp/B0078N0ZBG

Technical Analysis:

Technical Analysts use chart patterns, almost a form of geometry, to predict future asset prices. This used to be done via ruler and pencil on a desk but now is all done digitally.

Pros: Simple to get started and provides a framework with which to think about markets. There is also lots of great technology available for free and cheap online.

Cons: Does it work? There's limited evidence that technical analysis works in double blind experiments. I handed the top technical analyst in my old hedge fund unlabelled EURGBP and GBPEUR charts unlabeled which should have yielded consistent but opposite trade idea directions. His answers were inconsistent. THAT BEING SAID there is STRONG evidence that certain chart patterns such as head and shoulders have predictive power. This could be the community effect!

Trend Following:

According to Yale University and the Hedge Fund AQR, Markets have moved in trends over the past 100 years.
Trends are successive up and down days that occur at a greater frequency than would occur via randomness alone.
Trend followers identify trending securities using statistics and hop on those trends. This was the strategy for many equities traders in the Dot Com boom in the 1990s.

Pros: Almost all of the successful quant hedge funds are trend followers.

Cons: Trend following strategies tend to do poorly during crashes. Having robust risk management technology is important.
