Are you bullish UVXY for the next week, at least? The $13/$11 bull puts for Jun 24 gets $0.75 (check tomorrow)...and the $13 puts have -0.10 theta (net -5c theta on the spread)....you can prolly get to $0.50 net out by next Tuesday....lookin like a big gap up Thursday, though, will need to reassess...

That could be a really good play ... . Move is likely to be oversized to either side ... .

Ima put something on it. Some good days coming for long vol, trades planned and put on months and weeks ago about to bear da sweet juicy froot. Nursed some a this shit through an epic volatility rout, going into debt to roll it down down down, but never gave up on it. Now just please pay me. I have UVXY Jun 17 call verts looking good, $14.50/$15, $16/$16.50, $16.50/$17 the first one could go full banana, but I may take it off today for 0.8MaxP. For Jul 01, I have $13.50/$16, to pay >$200/contract next week, just need to ride it out. Patience is the word, let the market come to me....

Level 2 shows more upward movement for this stock. I'm on the sidelines for now.

yes I'm just managing out of trades where that is warranted....things change fast and I don't want to let nice profits slip away on trades that just have short time. For the VXX $18.5 calls, Jun 24/Jul01, a 30 lot lets me run it into next week to see if maybe I can leave some longs on, but maybe more likely VXX will hit $18.5 and I will have to take some/all off when it does...it went on for 10c

I always thought the Brexit vote would be close - murder of Jo Cox by crazy Brexit advocate will backlash, probably kill the referendum's chances. If equities rally tomorrow, I will have some hard choices to make....
