This is very telling. What was Ken Griffin's fundamental strategy since his college days? His go to position is to SHORT. Short by starting with put options.

[@jmitterii2]

He strangles the market... he does both puts and in the first case warrants which were a long position. Over your head I know... but hew as betting for a big movement either way. And he got it.. that time to the down side. he cut his warrants, and was able to ride and cash out of his puts that made well beyond the long position he dumped. Goes the other way, up... then he would have dumped his puts for a relatively small loss, and let the warrants ride up and cash those bad boys in for a huge 10x or so profit on total strangle trade.

I've known about Ken Griffin for a while - long before he was well known by the general public. My best friend at the time was a software developer in the Chicago office. If you work there, you are smart. A high performing culture that demands top performance and the brightest minds. Only until recently Ken has started to speak to the media, he was always very secretive before (but aren't all hedge funds?). Always wondered by Citadel is based in Chicago and not in New York. Perhaps he will move the fund to NYC in the future.

Without the volatility (which will come back down) can you pick apart an intraday chart? Can you make money when there's not random penny stocks and zombie companies rallying 100% in a day?
