In this week's episode, sprocket888 and viperxl007 reflect more on the market's reaction to the FOMC meeting. They look at the testimony by chairman Jerome Powell to congress and comment on their view. viper keeps his eye on crypto and is very excited about a change in the Avalanche ecosystem. Traders can now deal on the Avalanche blockchain with Bitcoin DIRECTLY. This is a huge milestone for what it means can be created. Previously traders would need to work with an intermediary to trade Bitcoin on Avalanche (this is known as wrapped Bitcoin). While we are not out of the woods yet, viper and sprocket then talk about some of their near-term plans in the equities market. viper is looking to 'dollar cost average' back into some ETF products ($VOO and $VTI). sprocket recently took the assignment on many shares and will be looking to hold and sell some calls against them. Then they close out with the suggestion to continuously 'drip' into your brokerage account.
