We’re red across the board this morning – except for the VIX light, that is. That’s yellow.

As I type, the VIX is nearing 26. It has completely blown through the futures, which are flat – putting us in backwardation.

This is the most backward market we’ve seen since April, in fact. And with the VIX light yellow, we’re about to see some wild moves.

On Monday, the UN released a report on climate change – and they issued a “code red for humanity.”

The key takeaways? Well, the planet isn’t just getting warmer. Tropical storms, heat waves, wildfires, droughts, and flooding are all expected to ramp up.

And it’s mainly due to human activity. But the UN had one specific perpetrator to blame: the energy industry. Click here to read more

We’ve talked before about the Chinese crackdown on education. And it’s a move that has affected a ton of Chinese companies – among them, TAL Education Group (NYSE:TAL).

At one point this year, this was a $90 stock. Today, it’s in the single digits around $7.

But there’s some big money betting on a reversal… Click here to read more

Robinhood Markets Inc. (Nasdaq:HOOD) IPO’d on the Nasdaq just a couple of weeks ago.

Back then, I told you to stay away from the stock. And I was right, at least at first – in its inaugural day of trading, HOOD fell.

But it didn’t take long for the meme stock medium to become a meme stock itself, spiking at one point to $85 in a 123%-plus jump from its IPO price.

So, what do I think now?

Well, HOOD has really high volatility – and an upward-sloping volatility curve. And I’m done sitting out on what looks to be a ticking profit bomb.

Toward the end of last week, HOOD finally listed options. And on Thursday, I told you three ways to trade those options.

But today, I have an $8 trade idea to bring you – and it’s got potential to turn an asymmetric return this week.
