Markets will continue to chop, I’m trying to short tops and buy bottoms in the short term while buying volatility for the long term. I also want to find that natty gas bottom

I’m up 11% ytd as a bull but not feeling good risking my gains for another 3-5% when my cash is earning 4.15%. And would anyone else? Bearish

Etrade offers me like 0.15% on cash so I transferred my 350k out 🤷‍♂️. I do like I can buy t-bills with 10x leverage on Etrade though so I left 50k there

Can you explain to me how Margin T bill works? Since it’s practically zero risk, why not make 4% on $1M if buying power of $100k can be 10x? Am I missing something, why wouldn’t everyone just leverage up on buying treasury securities for guaranteed cash flow?

That natty gas is fucking me up. I was dumb and thought bottom so I sold puts. Luckily it’s like half a year out
