I'm inclined to think that unless you have a good insight into what is happening and what is going to happen, the best thing to do is do nothing. i.e. don't sell.
People are afraid at the moment, and that being an emotion means an element of irrationality, which it probably leading to people selling more than they should - don't be one of them.Comment

I was long SPY short ERUS for one particular position but have traded out now after making just over £2k. While I'm happy that a trade worked for a change, under the circumstances I am torn about making money from misery.

Looks like Abramovich is going to make some money (because it takes so long to impose sanctions in the UK, he has time to sell his assets, take his money, and flee without any consequences)
