Hey Chris, thanks for the video! I was just wondering if you have been buying leaps /stocks on MSTR now that the prices are so low? Thanks!

HI Chris, I remember a video where you tested cutting losses when VIX was above 30 but I can't find it. I would like to revisit it if it's still there. Thanks!

Chris, how spread will benefit when IV decreases from 30% to 20% at 4:39 ? Vega is positive for long call and decrease should minus the spread price . Please explain more here
