This coming week

What are everybody’s thoughts on this coming week? Cpi comes out this week which could make things really interesting. The question is if cpi is more or less of a concern compared to what just happened this past week. Looking at options chains for a lot of major stocks it seems that things are still very crazy, with calls and puts still expensive. I’ve been playing around with amzn options switching back and forth between calls and puts and both have become super expensive. What are everybody’s thoughts?

I might sit the week out if vix remains this high.

I was thinking that too but at the same time the amount of crazy swings happening I can’t help but at least dip my toes in. I had a really solid week last week made about $7k so I might put about $3k back in and load up on puts. I was thinking about calls to catch some upside before loading up on puts for the next leg down but I might just bite the bullet and buy puts for a couple weeks out.
