Recently, there have been many youtube advertisements about options trading as we are currently in the midst of a recession. True enough, the amount of money you can make from buying and then selling will be significantly reduced during this period of time. That said, there will still be ways we can profit from the market during this period of time. The keyword is to rebalance your constituents during this period to take advantage of the lower prices. At the same time, you can also make a profit if you foresee limited upside in the near term. But I am trying to drive at this post about having the right mentality during such times and how it can prepare you when the recovery comes.
