CORRECTION and tonight’s earnings reports
CORRECTION: I’m buying the September VIX calls with $15 strikes for $1.30 or so. The December $14 VIX calls are just about as good, but more expensive for each one than the Sept $15s, obviously.

Trade Alert: Buying volatility and preparing for the next Black Swan
