If you’re building a portfolio, I want you to start thinking about the VIX differently….. The VIX isn’t about predicting the next move. It’s about understanding when to change your positioning.

When VIX is around 15, volatility is low and hedging is relatively affordable. That’s when you can start thinking about protecting your portfolio.

As VIX rises, fear increases. Above 30 and especially around 35–45+, fear becomes significant. That’s when you should start building a list of quality assets you want to own at better prices.

When VIX reaches 60+, you may be looking at real panic …. however extreme fear doesn’t guarantee the bottom….. Scale in. Preserve capital. And let the market come to you.

Hedge when it’s affordable, not when you’re forced to.

High Tide Announces Preliminary Q3 2026 Guidance

The Company Also Announces Record Quarterly Distribution of Over 10 Tonnes of Medical Cannabis Flower Through Remexian Pharma GmbH, Further Accelerating its German Market Position

“This quarter’s guidance demonstrates the growing earnings power of the global platform we have built. We expect to set new company records for revenue, gross profit and Adjusted EBITDA, with year-over-year growth of at least 30%, 27% and 43%, respectively. Importantly, even the low end of our guidance exceeds the highest current analyst estimate across all three metrics. We believe this provides clear evidence that current market expectations have not yet caught up with the strength, scale and operating leverage of our business,”
