TWIFO 485: From the Equity Put Spread Craze to Meme Stock Metals & Crude's Inflection Point

In this action-packed episode, Mark Longo and Scott Bauer of Prosper Trading Academy dissect a market where standard playbooks are being thrown out the window. From "meme-style" moves in Silver to heavy hedging in the S&P 500, we break down the institutional flow and retail frenzy. The Equity Craze: Why everyone has put spreads on the brain. We analyze the heavy volume in the E-mini S&P 500 March 6600/6500 vertical and the "frothy" volatility return to the Russell 2000. Energy Inflection: WTI Crude is at a crossroads. We discuss the $5-$10 move potential based on geopolitical headlines and the "Grand Slam" reversal in Natural Gas. Meme Stock Metals: Triple-digit volatility in Silver has transformed it into a meme-trader's paradise. Are the April 125 calls a total YOLO, or is there method to the madness?
