Very interesting that Tech can't catch a break lately. MU and other chips getting hit hard. We'll see what AVGO says later.
Hedge/Gard - To hedge $1M of SPY positions, I'd go with an SDS hedge. He'd be looking to offset a $200,000 loss and SDS is at $34 so +20% (a 10% S&P drop on the 2x inverse ETF) is $42 and the March $34 ($2.60)/$40 ($1.50) bull call spread is $1.10 and pays $6 in a big drop so let's say he wants to offset $60,000 worth of damage - he can do that for $11,000 and that's the cost of insurance.
I'd pair that with some short puts on stocks he'd REALLY like to own if they get cheap, like 10 MU 2020 $42 puts at $6.40 ($6,400) which drops the net cost to $4,600 on the $60,000 spread, giving it $55,400 (1,200%) profit potential if SDS is over $40.
