HaiKhuu Daily Report - 04/09/2025
Good morning, and happy Wednesday! Wow, markets are insane, and these conditions are as volatile as ever. VIX is trading just below 50, which is a fantastic time for the markets. It is a bloody bloody time for the markets, but with these volatile conditions, opportunities are consistently presented to us. The movements we are seeing in the markets are vomit-inducing, and honestly, it is one of the best times, in my opinion, to trade. People are scared, there are large movements in the markets, and opportunities left and right.
IF YOU ARE NOT ATTEMPTING TO TRADE THESE CONDITIONS, YOU ARE MISSING OUT. PEOPLE ARE PRINTING TRADING THIS VOLATILITY. AND YOU ARE MISSING OUT. THIS IS NOT A SIGNAL TO BE DUMB. THIS IS NOT A SIGNAL TO BE GREEDY. BUT THIS IS A SIGNAL TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THESE CONDITIONS.
Practice safe risk management, but just know that traders will get slaughtered in these market conditions. There is opportunities for moon shots, but if you are incorrect on anything, you can get WIPED out. So please, be smart and safe while trading, but do not forget about the volatility that is generated right now. Make the most of the volatility. This is genuinely a trader’s paradise.
Good luck trading today, and let’s see where things go.

Thoughts & Comments from Yesterday 04/08/2025
Yesterday was a disgusting day with one bloody fake-out. Wow, wow, wow. Not to stroke any egos, but someone alerted the perfect short entry yesterday at 10:47 am EST when the markets showed a sign of a reversal, but boom, did that play work out? Congratulations to anyone who was able to capitalize on the bear side of the markets yesterday, and sorry to anyone who realized any sort of significant loss.
So, we started the day with $SPY, moving up $18 during the pre-market session, opening the day at $522. Conditions were looking good, and I watched as $SPY tricked up to make the official high of the day, trading at $524.97 before reversing quickly and selling off for essentially the rest of the day. There were no opportunities for bullish traders, but somehow, I was able to catch a beautiful little scalp in the one opportunity you could have made going long in the afternoon.
Such is life, though; there is really not much to be said other than the selling only perpetuated throughout the rest of the day, looking extremely weak and selling off significantly. We broke all levels of support, filled the gap that was created, and watched as $SPY went on to close the day below the $500 support level at $496.48, down $8 for the day or roughly 1.6%, but down -$28.49 from the top.
I am not going to say yesterday was a good day because I know that the large majority of traders are long, and many took yesterday like a face on the concrete, but I will say that there were many opportunities presented to us yesterday to print. Anyone bearish should have had a phenomenal time and had one of if not their best, day trading this year. But hey, it’s life. Let’s navigate the markets today and see what life has in store for us.

Thoughts & Comments for Today - 04/09/2025
Today should be a fun day for the markets. With the market volatility, opportunity will be consistently presented to us, and large movements can generate life-changing gains and losses. Please tread lightly while attempting to take advantage of these conditions, but make the most of these times. These are record-breaking movements we are seeing in the markets right now, and it is a choppy, volatile, and uncertain time. Anyone who says they know where the markets are going with 100% certainty is full of shit, and traders should be cautious because there are landmines on the field.
I am not saying to not go in the field but to tread extremely lightly and understand the risks involved. Traders will blow up their accounts literally and metaphorically, but just know on the other side of the field is riches. You just have to navigate the possible certain death to achieve it. These conditions are a day trader's paradise if you are right and a day trader’s nightmare if you are wrong.
Godspeed, if you are trading, it will be a sketchy time.
If you are looking to be safer in these market conditions, though. I believe that two strategies will do exceptionally well even if these conditions are weak.
However, I highly recommend that most people look into buying strong equity positions, and experienced traders look into selling puts.
Yes, there is a chance that the markets will continue to come down, but that is an inevitable situation that needs to be priced in and accounted for when entering positions now. Many organizations are at a discount, and VIX is at a relative high. You can purchase fundamentally strong organizations at a discount in these markets, with many organizations being oversold and undervalued. Scale in your positions slowly, and continue to grow a long equity position. This is not a bad time to purchase some cheap dividend plays in your retirement account in positions like $JEPI. DCA/DRIP into those retirement positions while things are cheap, and have a great time in the process.
If you are an experienced option seller, this is an amazing time to sell CSPs. Look for an organization that you believe has hit a relative bottom, and look to sell some ATM contracts. Put premium is ridiculous, where you are either able to collect a significant amount of premium or you are assigned to an organization at the relative bottom, with an additional discount on top.
Just whatever you do decide to do, just know that opportunities will consistently be presented to us in these market conditions, and just remember to practice risk management and tread lightly. Opportunities are going to be consistently presented to us. Do not FOMO into anything crazy, do not do anything dumb, and do not walk in front of a loaded gun. It’s that simple. Make some money today, and have some fun.
If I see any opportunities, or if I decide to get into any other plays, I’ll announce what I see in the HaiKhuu Discord.
