Everyone is Too Happy

This makes me unhappy.  No one is hedging. What if something goes wrong.  What happens next?

Long volatility with VXX ?????????

Another small position.  If Trump tweets trade deal is going great, lose a little bit of money.  

But if he's like "China SUCKS!!!!!!!", can profit from large jump and add in more for a multi day volatility rally.  

Always safer to trade the majority of shares after the news, not before.

Out of both DGAZ and VXX.  VXX couldn't hold gains.  DGAZ rallied too much.  Wouldn't trust DGAZ much in winter.  Still, profitable.  But now out of everything again.

Back into UGAZ.  Into JNUG.  Small positions (5-10%) in each.  

Hoping for bounce off of lower trend lines.  But if things go wrong, there is room below, which is why "small positions."  

EDIT: Not feeling it. Read a bit more on gold and was like eh.  Out of everything at same price I entered.  No commissions fee is great!
