Every trading day, investors around the world make a little easy money by selling Spitznagel options.
Until one day, maybe only every five or ten years, a black swan appears, terrorists ram jets into skyscrapers or a global pandemic freezes the global economy.

Universa’s flagship “Black Swan Protection Protocol” fund earned its near two dozen institutional investors a staggering 3,612% in March, putting its 2020 gains at 4,144%.
