Great movie/tv show recos! Here’s some for you:

Jason mentioned he is looking for stuff on Amazon Prime – watch The Boys – oh my god – watch The Boys! Another good one is Goliath, it is peak Billy Bob Thornton.

And I just finished The Kingdom on Netflix – slow buildup but stick with it and it pays off so big.

You mentioned Watchmen the movie – have you seen the HBO show? So so good. And they are making it free for a limited time if you don’t have HBO.

And, thanks for recommending Devs and Oblivion – I’m going to add those to my list 🙂

Oh man, listening to Jason’s trading story was like reading “The Big Short” 🙂

@Jason, implied vol on S&P cannot stay at 60+% for longer than a few days because it’s free money for market makers writing the options. If you see VIX getting to 50+ sell vol with both fists! That VIX spike to 80+ happened only because big NYC trading firms sent traders home and liquidity was severely depleted when everyone was de-leveraging.

Options are difficult to price and trade without some kind of automated system. Volatility ETFs like VXX are much easier to use for some protection in case of extreme market events.

@Justin: Thanks for the link on the Nugget site, seeing the page now, I think that maybe I had seen that page in my serach, but must have missed scrolling down far enough to see the Reactor links.

Thanks for the list !

Bottle Rocket and Thomas Crown affair were the ones I couldn’t understand from Jason talking about them 🙂
All the others he mentioned are great and shame on anybody who hasn’t watched them yet 😉

Great story from Jason about investing and that 2 week delay from decision to actual money being moved… Tough but good lesson imho.

Enjoyed the show! Only natural that after Jason said he’s ready for more frequent episodes, a pandemic struck 🙂

Justin: I had some trouble finding the new podcast. I didn’t see a link the description of this one, or in one of the previous episodes where this new podcast was mentioned, didn’t see it in About page of TechZing, on http://justinvincent.com/about, or even any mentions in your Twitter feed. Finally found it mentioned on a Indiehackers page. For those interested here’s a link:
Reactor

Jason: Good luck with getting the Math Academy software working well enough for the demo in June, and sorry to hear that

interesting quotes/phrases I took away from this episode:
Jason – They’re regular army, we’re delta force
Justin: structured procrastination
Justin: More than 50% is about the founder, not the idea

The Robinhood app makes it scary easy to buy options. I bought very few puts on the S&P — mostly just time averaged in shares after large drops over the last couple months. Sounds like you had a rollercoaster!

Thanks for the show, glad you guys are doing well at home.
