Rest of my cash is going to BAC puts for next week. No way they can miss earnings and jump 7% like WFC right guys?

If BAC could go back over 35 that would be great.

you didn't say crash bruh you said how to short. and like literally every fucking bank (BAC, JPM, WFC) that's publicly traded (i.e. a stonk, bruh) is heavily exposed to mortgage lending, either as a secondary lender to other smaller mortgage brokers or directly to clients/homeowners.

Why would BAC be up 5% when every other bank misses earnings? Fucking retard market out here. Averaging these down but everything else I'm out.

Yeah, I just went into Wells puts. More or less what I'm thinking. Would do BAC as well but that's the first thing after a weekend and fuck that.
