Stopped Out of Every Short on the Rip, but the Long Puts Still Won.

After a huge post-earnings rally, Tim Knight came in ready to short everything and got stopped out of nearly all of it at the open. The lesson he draws: his stops are insurance he rarely regrets, and the long-dated index puts he never touches were left alone and are still working. He separates what should happen from what will happen, which no chart can promise. He stays more bearish on the Nasdaq than the S&P on heavier overhead supply, and reveals a new favorite short, China through FXI, which he calls his next SMH after finally timing the semiconductor top. All views are his. 📊 tastylive: https://www.tastylive.com/ 📰 Get Tom's pre-market analysis every morning: https://www.tastylive.com/newsletters 📘 FREE Options Strategy Guide: https://tinyurl.com/bp9ms763 📱 Follow tastylive on X: https://x.com/tastyliveshow Chapters 00:00 A crazy reversal and closed hedges 00:40 What should happen vs what will 02:31 Stopped out of every short 03:15 The options puts he never touched 04:48 Why he stays bearish on the S&P 05:59 The Nasdaq is the better short 09:47 China is his new SMH 12:36 Ending on FXI #tastylive #timknight #stoplosses #riskmanagement #tradingcharts #indexputs #chinastocks #semiconductors #stockmarket #investing tastylive is a real financial network, producing hours of live programming every day.
