It's not. SPY follows the S&amp;P500. Trump tweets tariffs, S&amp;P will go down, and SPY will follow suit.  
  
 You want to hold a put option (do not buy options for fucks sake else youll end up like the autists on this forum -- it's insanely dangerous financially -- can easily ruin your entire life, not joking) on SPY because if the price goes down, you make money. Price goes up, you lose (some) money.

### REPLY:
can confirm that, lost about $1000 on options. Never again.
