Although Western sanctions have ratcheted up faster than I expected, there are still big carve-outs for Russian energy exports. Unusual Options Activity: How the Big Money Is Playing Volatility

Going even further, if you took your ARKK gains and put them into BRK.B on February 12, you’d be up 30% on that trade. The chances that any investors actually made that “switcheroo” are vanishingly small. The move looks good in hindsight … but at the time it would’ve seemed ludicrous to most investors. That's why you should always follow one key rule when it comes to maximizing your long-term potential…Don't be a trader … be an investor.
