Markets pared losses after a quick sell-off to start the day as traders reacted to the latest volley of earnings results…

Tech names led the way down after an ugly fourth-quarter showing from rideshare platform Lyft Inc. (Nasdaq: LYFT) — which fell over 35% Friday — set the tone…

The bad news had the bears out for blood, and a wave of downside bets rolled across my screens, including a massive put buy in our old friend Nvidia.

With shares of the chipmaker plunging as much as 6.8%, my scanners spotted a massive put buy as traders scooped up about 1,000 contracts of the Feb. 17 expiration, $220 put options for around $1.2 million in premium!

P.S. It’s Hard to Be a BULL Right Now…

I’m not one for big scary market predictions.

I don’t want to make people more anxious than they already are…

But there are serious underlying problems impacting many of today’s most promising stocks…

Problems glossed over by most media sources and even educated analysts…

And I’m afraid if I don’t share what’s actually happening, you’ll be duped into believing we’re about to kick off the next bull run…

Don’t Say I Didn’t Warn You…
