From April 2, the US is putting 20% tariffs on most imports and 25% on all foreign made cars. No one’s getting an exemption. Markets didn’t like it. Gold is hitting new highs, there’s talk of a global recession, and full panic vibes everywhere.
Goldman Sachs just raised the chance of a US recession to 35% from 20. They’ve cut their GDP growth forecast, expect three rate cuts from the Fed this year, and say the eurozone might be headed for a technical recession too.
But for most of us, it hits differently.
Personally, those first 20 to 30 minutes after market open feel like a silent inside cry now a days. But it’s long term, right? Maybe it will recover. 
Unless Abid’s analysis plays out and we’re heading straight to 20000 or maybe even lower on Nifty.
Still, this kind of drama isn’t new.
- Some stay invested and ride it out.
- Some sell options when premiums go crazy.
- Some hedge a little.
- Some buy options and take their chances.
- Some stick to their strategies, whatever works.
- Some just wait it out and do nothing.
So, what’s your plan? What you gonna do?
- Long term hai bhai kya hi hoga
- Selling options because IV is looking tempting
- Hedging a little
- Buying calls or puts naked and praying to the market gods
- Running straddles or strangles, hoping the strategy holds up
- Sitting out because this drama is not worth the BP
- Intraday scalping. 5 points here 10 points there paisa hi paisa
