Surprising absolutely no one in the Inland Northwest, two of the Patriot Front members crammed into the U-Haul this weekend are connected to a church helmed by former Rep Matt Shea. Who is that, you ask? *deep inhale* A thread:

Shea is a former Washington state representative who represented Spokane Valley. In that position, he took the time to travel to both the 2014 and 2016 armed standoffs helmed by the Bundys; invited Oath Keepers head Stewart Rhodes to discuss battle tactics over tacos…
Here’s a story I wrote about him in Rolling Stone four years ago, after local reporters had been covering him for ages. Time flies when you’re having … um: https://t.co/aPECOYB72c
Shea also took spiritual guidance from The Byrds , a couple who runs a “covenant community” called Marble, in NE WA. Barry is of the framers of Christian Identity, a racist belief system that had been preached at the Aryan Nations. More on that here: https://t.co/7jUE7GDyXS
In 2018, former Shea acolytes leaked a manifesto he wrote - and claimed credit for - called the “Biblical Basis for War,” which called for war if abortion and same sex marriages were not stopped: https://t.co/6YAWoSrbZK
In the second season of Bundyville (the audio version), we reported that Shea was helping train a youth militia at Marble called “Team Rugged.” More on Marble here: https://t.co/PjGhXIl3as
A lot has happened since then. For one, the House in Washington issued a report that Shea had participated in domestic terrorism, and he didn’t run for re-election: https://t.co/nQltEccRRB
Shea parlayed his oratory skills and fanaticism into a new gig: the leader of a church called “On Fire Ministries,” and continuing to lead the “Church at Planned Parenthood”: https://t.co/1zXrf2GTX7
Guess who else was at the CDA Pride rally to protest this Saturday? On Fire Ministries and Shea: https://t.co/ZGk1raTbcR
There is so much more to say about Shea - Anti vaccine rallies! The state of Liberty! Ukrainian orphans! - but I will stop here because I need more coffee. Follow the great work of local reporters: @SpokesmanReview @danielwinlander @MelissaKXLY4 @vestal13

A THREAD ON @SarangSood

Decoded his way of analysis/logics for everyone to easily understand.

Have covered:
1. Analysis of volatility, how to foresee/signs.
2. Workbook
3. When to sell options
4. Diff category of days
5. How movement of option prices tell us what will happen

1. Keeps following volatility super closely.

Makes 7-8 different strategies to give him a sense of what's going on.

Whichever gives highest profit he trades in.


2. Theta falls when market moves.
Falls where market is headed towards not on our original position.


3. If you're an options seller then sell only when volatility is dropping, there is a high probability of you making the right trade and getting profit as a result

He believes in a market operator, if market mover sells volatility Sarang Sir joins him.


4. Theta decay vs Fall in vega

Sell when Vega is falling rather than for theta decay. You won't be trapped and higher probability of making profit.
