There’s never been a trade that didn’t involve risk. Even Nvidia, the next-gen AI darling that soared during the artificial intelligence boom, dropped nearly 17% on Monday after China’s DeepSeek prompted investor concerns about AI investing and the rise of more cost-efficient AI agents.
In this episode of Stock in Translations, Kenny Glick, owner of HitTheBid.com, joins Yahoo Finance markets and data editor Jared Blikre and Producer Sydnee Fried to discuss risk, volatility, and reward. Glick, who makes his living trading options, is no stranger to the dangers of day trading. He thrives on volatility, even though it’s inherently risky. One of his tools for navigating this risk is UVXY, a derivative of the VIX — the 30-day outlook on S&P 500 volatility.
“UVXY is a product that’s basically built to go down, and it tries to reflect the fear of the day,” Glick said. “So as a day trader, especially for the shorters … if UVXY shows any strength, you know that the sellers are out there. And … if it’s trending higher, … the market’s in trouble.”
The episode’s word of the day is a day trader’s best friend: candlestick. Blikre explained that candlesticks are “charts that analyze price action.” The candle’s body represents the opening and closing prices, while the wicks (shadows) show the highs and lows.
Glick and Blikre also marveled at the beauty and emotion charts can reveal. “When I see a long wick, I might see fear to the downside,” Blikre said. “If it’s a down candle, I might see … greed to the upside. But there’s a lot of emotion in these charts.”
