Stocks tumbled 7% in one day last week, ending what had been a breakneck rally since March.
For options traders, it might seem like a time to switch to buying puts instead of calls, but best options to buy on Robinhood today are actually call options.
But these aren't just any calls.
It's a backdoor strategy to profit from the government's attempt to inject cash into the economy.
The Dow Jones today started in the red with futures down over 500 points this morning.
That comes after finishing the worst week of trading since March.
Investors should buckle up because we could be seeing a repeat performance of March.
Last week, concerns about a second wave of the COVID-19 virus, a weak economy, and a frothy market fueled a downturn of 1.4% over the week for the S&P 500.
Airlines, retail, and hotel stocks led the downturn as investors took gains off the table.

Buy-and-hold investors are in deep, dark water right now, and there's no telling what's down there.
They've either just taken heavy losses, or they've been knocked right out of hard-won positions it may have taken years to build.
Maybe the Bull Run resumes this week… or maybe the bears take over for a while.
The thing is, it doesn't have to matter all that much.
Buy-and-hold investing has its place, particularly with must-own companies.
But trading gives you supreme flexibility in your moneymaking endeavors; whether shares are going up or down, you can nab profits.
You don't have to have a huge risk appetite, either; there are some very conservative strategies available that can be just as successful.

Our experts.
They'll show you how they make their research recommendations for their subscribers, and how profitable those can be.

So, let's turn this over to four of our top trading experts so you can hear from them directly...
David Weisburd, a serial entrepreneur, Co-Head of venture capital at 10X Capital, and the newest member of the Angels & Entrepreneurs advisory board has been an angel investor for 12 years, a venture capitalist for five, and has reviewed more than 2,000 startups throughout his career.
Through all those years and all of those deals, he's learned a multitude of lessons – many of which we'll be talking about in the next few days and weeks.
But today, he wants to cover the single most important lesson he wishes he knew when he first started investing.
In fact, if he had known this piece of information back in 2008, he would've avoided many restless nights and missed opportunities.
By sharing it here with you today, David's goal is to make sure that you do not miss any opportunities, either.
And not missing out on a single great opportunity is the key to finding the next Facebook or Google.

Take a hard look at the cannabis market.
Look closely, and you'll see the single biggest market to hit the global economy in decades.
It's bigger than the global PC market. It's bigger than gaming. In fact, consumers spend more money on cannabis each year than what hits the top lines of social media companies like Facebook and online marketplaces like Amazon combined.
It's almost as big as one of the most predominant, innovative, and disruptive sectors of the 20th century.
Now, I expect everyone reading this would happily hop in a time machine and buy shares in Microsoft, Apple, and Amazon for a second chance to get in early on those unexpected but remarkably high growth industries.
Imagine the wealth you could have built.
But with cannabis now on the scene, you don't need a time machine.
You just need to appreciate the massive size of the cannabis market today and how much bigger it will get as legalization inevitably spreads.
Because once it does, cannabis will overtake some of the most significant industries to emerge in the 21st century… Full Story
If you've been profiting on the market's historic 40% rebound since March, you may have looked at Thursday's 7% plunge as derailing your gravy train.
However, nothing could be further from the truth.
While your call options did not fare well that day, there is no need to panic.
In fact, there are opportunities to make money when stocks go down too.
Here's one trade you can make to do just that...
We're already in the middle of a deep very recession.
The market's Thursday selloff, fueled by concerns about reopening the economy and a resurgence of COVID-19 infections, simply brings stocks more in line with an unpleasant economic reality.
The resurgence of fear and uncertainty will push investors to the sidelines again.
This will create new opportunities for "smart money" – investors who know how to play the long- and short-term impacts to maximize gains.
When you own the semiconductor stock I'm going to tell you about in a moment, you own cash inflows from not just one but three booming sectors, where money grows like weeds.
The chip shares are at the center of what I call the "Convergence Economy."
It's a tech-driven phenomenon I've identified where chips, sensors, cloud computing, software, artificial intelligence (AI), mobile computing, and communications are all converging, every hour of every day, to change the world – and the lives of everyone in it – and generate, at a minimum, $13 trillion in new wealth.
Most investors who might track chips, or sensors, or AI on their own, aren't even aware of this convergence.
But then again, we're not "most investors." They haven't spotted this stock or identified the three catalysts that will drive it to double from here.
And let me be clear: No market plunge or recession or even resurgence of COVID-19 can stop what's coming as these trends converge. They'll barely even slow it down… Full Story
Stocks suffered their biggest pull back in three months as another 1.5 million Americans filed for unemployment and coronavirus cases spiked in states that reopened parts of their economies.
Traders quickly moved to sell their positions as the Dow dropped 6.9% on the trading session.
Investors bid the S&P 500 45% higher from its March lows on hopes of a fast recovery.
But a new spike in cases is certainly going to take a toll on a number of businesses.
Retail and airlines were two of the hardest hit industries on the day.
Here's what our experts – Chris Johnson and Shah Gilani – think is going to happen tomorrow and how investors should be positioning themselves before the weekend.
