New Aboard
Issue #3 — Week of July 20, 2026
The chip rout is now an official bear market, Captains — SMH dropped 9% on the week and the VIX jumped 25% to 18.8. Premium is rich again on 13 of 16 tickers, but rich premium in a falling market is danger pay: deep strikes, small size, or stand aside. GOOGL and TSLA report Wednesday.
