Hear it yourself
"You know, you need that exposure. We go from positive on this access to negative on this axis if you remove today's positions. So what happens now in the S and P is that the positioning in the S and P is very transient. It's here today, and it's gone tomorrow. When you go farther on time, they have this negative gamma position. What does that mean? The market is more free to move about. And so this is what we're seeing. Right? This is what happens in sort of peak bulls, is the way that I would frame this. So we went from incredibly bearish positioning to very bullish positioning."
