scott: yes. working on behalf of everyday people, you think about the three letters you never went to senior mailbox, it is the irs, and having more letters delivered to our mailboxes because of the new reporting requirements from the irs to your financial institutions. i wanted to preemptively make that an impossibility, getting 60 republicans on in about 24 hours and talking to a few colleagues on the others who were able to get part of this taxing and spending bill out of it. it also sends a negative message to 7 million on banked -- million unbanked americans that being involved with financial institutions in this country makes you more likely to be audited, a scary proposition that would reduce reliance on our banking system, so opposing that with all my republican colleagues and a couple colleagues on the others. -- on the others. -- on the other side. mike: you mentioned unbanked people. when you go home, that is a big issue in south carolina. sen. scott: the percentage of south carolinian

true, scott. it's been a host of things that have triggered that. number one, we had some really large moves in the vix the vix call buying which is more or less that trader that we refer to as 50 cent. i don't know who it is, but bought an awful lot of february put options and that was one of the hedges that i put on them, earning call options in the vix is like a put option in the s&p because obviously, days like today, days like friday when you see 50% moves friday and 20, 25% moves already today in the vix, those coincide with the big drops in the market, scott they've also been buying a lot of puts in the spdrs so for instance, they were buying the spy december 23rd, the christmas, the 465 puts. those puts have already paid big dividends for the people that own them either as a hedge, which i did, and i existed those on friday, i should have held them a few more day, scott the iwm just yesterday, the december tenth expiration, in other words, not this friday, but next friday. 215 puts big buying there with that index at 224 yesterday and look a

>> hey, scott. we should note that we're talking about the breakout in small caps and the potential for year-end strength and biotech. we still think that's the case so we don't want to make this as a great, broad market call and i think, specifically when we talk to the nasdaq 100, we're at a point where the risks are extremely poor and we think you'll get a better entry point and just a couple of things you're looking at. you can look at the spread of the nasdaq, too and the 20-day moving average and it's 5.5% and that's the widest it's been and the only other time around that is april and it's a bit of a sideways down and 8% pullback back in april. we are also up nine days in a row. 15 or less 17 days and we're up 11% over that stretch. that's the biggest ten-day -- sorry, 16-day gain interest a new high since september 2020. if you remember september 2020 was the blow off in the nasdaq if we think it sets up in rotation including ourselves with the other, i.e., small caps and we think small caps
