Your 40% Overnight Gain Could Become Your Biggest Loss Tomorrow

What you own may soar 40% overnight--or collapse just as fast. If you're not prepared, the downside will cost you more than just sleep.
Most traders think volatility is their friend when it's pumping their positions. QuantumScape rockets 50% in a session, and suddenly everyone's a genius. QBTS doubles overnight, and risk management becomes an afterthought.
Here's the brutal reality: volatility cuts both ways. And right now, it's sharpening its knife.
These aren't anomalies we're seeing. QuantumScape, QBTS, names swinging double digits in single sessions--they're part of a growing set of stocks driven more by short squeezes and speculative momentum than by fundamentals. That's fine if you're trading them with your eyes open and a hedge in place. If not, you're gambling, not investing.
The market's flashing warning lights that most traders are ignoring. When volatility indicators like the VIX 3M/VIX ratio push above 1.2 and skew spikes above 130, smart money starts hedging. Dumb money starts celebrating.
