KRE is red for an entire year and bulls are celebrating regional banks lmfao
KRE's death was greatly exaggerated
Open AI takes 10% stake in KRE?
Im going balls seep in KRE tomorrow actually
I'm waiting for SVB-esque collapse to buy KRE.
Google KRE, Zion’s Bank, and First Brands Group. Look at then charts carefully, consider shorting KRE, think monthlies, not weeklies, and definitely not 0dtes.
Regional banks was the thing. Google KRE, Zion’s Bank, and First Brands Group.
KRE and VX are still not happy
Anyone remember 2922 when SVB collapsed? KRE could absolutely drill with these bad loans. Cacka Roacha!!!!
Sold my KRE puts today, and I have a bad habit of selling early.... Use that information as you will
It isn't even economic or foreign policy related (the latter is what I thought). This market struggle today is just a flashback to the regional bank mess days (KRE keeps sinking). This is also getting deleted btw OP because it's not stock market related.
They literally announced a lot are struggling and the loans aren't worth anything. KRE is down 6% today and just melting down
Literally the announcement today and KRE is down 6% and still falling
It's really actually the only explanation that fits though for today. I guess the difference now is that you've actually seen a couple bankruptcies, but KRE rolled in Sept and the market tried its best to ignore it initially.
# KRE: Regional Banking ETF these are the cunts that are crashing us today, everyone remember to say THANK YOU to Zions Bancorporation and Western Alliance Bancorp. Fucking bad loans AGAIN. YEAH thanks a LOT fucking bankers man.
Im not buying KRE puts. Its at the same price it was in 2011. Priced in toilet paper, that is a good deal.
KRE looks like a massive 10 year head and shoulders
Y’all gotta start reading the news man. There’s fear that debtors are becoming increasingly insolvent. Between the tricolor and first brands situation and now you have WAL and ZION charging off bad loans. Jamie Dimon made a comment yesterday that like a cockroach when you see one there are likely many more that are hidden to you. Fears are getting sparked that insolvency might be a trend and large banks can weather the storms that regionals just can’t. Take a look at any of the regional bank stocks right now. FHN, BANC, etc KRE index is down 5% and declining further
I think everyone’s missing what regional banks are doing at the moment. Take a look at WAL, ZION, FHN, BANC. KRE index is down like 5%. This move might just be the market responding to all that crap
Up on all my calls except for my biggest, NVDA come on. KRE ❤️
KRE 65.50p p p p printed 🥳🥳
I’m lost here my 64.5 KRE calls that expire on the 26th with a stike price of 66 went to 0.01 after hours!?
KRE 65p p p p printing 🥳🥳🥳
So the only thing that matters is dot plot. I might grab some KRE puts before 2
According to ChatGPT, straddle on KRE, ITB, or CLF is the play. Thoughts?
Bought 2,000 shares of no rate cut at $0.04 and 1,500 of 0.5% rate cut at 0.06 as a hedge. Got QQQ leaps in both directions and VIX calls. KRE 65 calls. Ready to rock and roll.
KRE 64c 09/26 For rate cut tomorrow
I have DE, LEN, HD & KRE puts open right now. If you’re somewhat bearish on *parts* of the economy, these are very good choices. Deere - holder of many souring loans, impacted badly by tariff policy on both ends of supply/demand, impacted poorly by immigration policy as well, a traditional cyclical that now looks materially weaker than rival (CAT) and simply trades at a huge premium for no reason. Lennar - it’s simply the weakest looking home builder in a crashing housing market. It’s impacted poorly by policy. They gave up margin to keep sales flowing. Execs *HAVE NOT* sold shares. Pretty much the only ticker related to housing where execs have not dumped. I think, under the hood, it could be so bad that that’s the reason they have not dumped. Home Depot - trades too high, impacted poorly by admin policy, housing crashing. This one is the biggest softball of bunch for just an immediate and quick 10-15% pullback. KRE - regional banks are extremely fragile and have been pumping for no reason. PNC had to swoop in and pick up a FAILING BANK over the weekend. While Home Depot is the most obvious for what you see on the surface.. regionals is the most obvious if you’ve deep dived how bad those CRE and re-performing loans look 👀 Now we know we’re seeing less workers. Their books look worse and worse every day. If you want financials/bank exposure in your port, there is literally not one reason to own a regional except for the fact you might drive pass the logo on your daily commute. Shit is bad bad 👀 These and other hyper-inflated NON-TECH stonks are the tickers that need to come down the most if we are to avoid some larger, broader collapse in the coming months.
I picked up some selective puts at EOD (LEN, DE, KRE, HD) Am I fucked? 🤔
Shoutout to u/Rare-ish_Birb for KRE. Made 120%. 👏
Regional banks ahead, but won't last. KRE 62p 08/08 for FOMC no rate change.
CRE market gonna crash soon. Deep OTM puts on KRE through January 2026-2027
From a research firm: > The markets have been grinding higher over the past couple of weeks as investors are becoming increasingly optimistic on the global economic outlook. We have seen hotter-than-expected US inflation prints and other market headlines that normally would have triggered a sharp sell off, but we are currently seeing a relentless bid for stocks. This resilience likely reflects underlying demand from investors who stepped away during the April pullback, moved into cash or bonds, or rotated into international equities. Now, many are gradually moving back into US stocks, contributing to the persistent upside pressure. Earnings season is upon us, and in this market update, we want to talk about early signs of froth in the market, and some bellwethers that we are watching. > Early Signs of Froth? The FOMO Trade >In recent weeks, we have been noticing some early signs of froth in the markets, particularly through a shift in market tone driven by a resurgence in thematic investing. This is loosely defined by an increase in investor risk appetite, as themes like drones and defense tech, crypto, space exploration, AI data center infrastructure, and quantum computing are gaining strong momentum. This is not to say that the momentum can’t continue, or that there aren’t valid reasons behind the moves, but clearly, animal spirits are returning. Historically, we have noticed that these types of environments often precede a “melt-up” phase in the markets, driven by a consistent bid in risk assets as cash flees from bonds, high-interest savings vehicles, dividend stocks, and defensives like consumer staples names. > What We Are Watching > Melt-ups, periods of narrative-driven investing, and a risk on appetite are generally periods where investors can see large unrealized profits, and this is where we like to remind investors to watch position sizing. As large-cap, blue chip names may rise steadily, higher-growth and more speculative stocks can significantly outpace, leading to overconcentration in riskier exposures. This is where it becomes vital to keep an eye on portfolio weightings, and how much of one’s portfolio is ‘out the risk curve’. While we do see some signs of early froth, we do believe that it is still early, and we feel there is more upside in the markets from here. Although, the environments where narrative-driven investing and risk appetite increase are historically associated with late-cycle behaviour. If we are in the early parts of a melt-up, there are a few bellwethers that we are watching to help indicate how far along we are in the cycle. > 1. Risk-On / Risk Off: Tech vs. Utilities (XLK/XLU) > In this chart, we are looking at the relative performance of the US tech sector (XLK) to the US utilities sector (XLU). The tech sector is well-known for its high-growth properties, whereas utilities are known to be more stable and defensive. We can see a few noteworthy items in the chart, the first is that the relative performance (top pane) has areas of support where this marked a bottom in the broader markets. We also note that the broader markets, the S&P 500, traditionally has not made a cycle top unless the relative performance of tech to utilities has made a new high. So far, the tech/utilities relative performance has not made a new high since early 2024. This helps indicate to us that there is likely still upside potential in the broader markets. >2. US Regional Banks > The performance of US regional banks (KRE) is often a telling barometer of risk-on sentiment in the financial markets. When regional banks make new highs, it typically reflects broad investor confidence in the real economy, credit conditions, and liquidity. Regional banks are closely tied to credit cycles, and strong performance indicates that credit is flowing. Historically, we have seen cycle tops take place where the US Regional banks have made a new all-time high. So far, we have yet to see this happen. The recent trend for regional banks is up and to the right, but they have not yet made new highs. This is another indicator to us that risk appetite can continue to improve. >3. US Small-Caps >The Russell 2000 (IWM) tracks 2000 US small-cap stocks, and this index is one of the most sensitive gauges of investor risk appetite. When small caps outperform or break to new highs, it typically signals broad-based optimism about growth, earnings, and liquidity. So far, the small-cap index has not made a new high, and again, this gives us an indication that risk appetite has room to increase. >Overall, it is difficult to discern if we truly will enter a melt-up period, but we believe we are seeing early signs of a melt-up market, and these periods tend to be associated with lots of opportunities in the markets, but also reason for caution and watching individual portfolio weightings. We believe this is where it becomes increasingly important to ‘pick spots’ in the market to allocate capital to, and to watch for any sector or individual stock overconcentration’s in a portfolio. The markets are a function of risk and reward, fear and greed, and this is where it becomes critical to be hyper-diligent in portfolio composition. There is always a bull market somewhere, and we feel that there will be lots of opportunities ahead.
Ya. Same. Made a couple hundred on KRE calls during regional bank earnings week. Good luck, pal.
• JPM beats and raises, but retains excess capital to bail out private credit during anticipated recession>JPM drops 5% • regional banks without trading operations meet revenue but not earnings targets>short interests cover and KRE moons 5% This has been a SKY forecast for the week ending July 18.^TM
Banks, esp in the KRE, industrials, small caps, utilities.. even the megacaps..who a .05% decrease in rates results in tens of millions in savings. It'll be thru earnings growth and re-rating. The AI trade is still young. We're also seeing the 493 catch a bid
Nice! I'm also just considering KRE calls, January expiration. Nice little uptrend forming there. Maybe not today, since it's up big, but considering.
It's end of the quarter rebalancing. Some health care and regional banks KRE. Every thing you see down that's where it's flowing out of.
Anybody know why KRE is pumping compared to the broader market?
Rate cut inevitable. 25 delta calls on XLY, KRE, and DHI it is. Bout 2 months out.
Dude check out the OI on KRE 20Jun. People agree with you.
Just holding everything rn. AAPL, ANET, UNH, TMO, LLY, KRE, IWM, but put in some crazy high limit sells just in case we get some movement at close. 😇
regional banks ETF KRE crashing
Calls on UNH, TMO, AAPL, ANET, KRE, and poots on IWM.
Theoretically, if you have 5k in capital, you could just buy 50 x KRE 57c for 80 cents and make $500 on a 20 cent move up.
Your question is a bit vague. What kind of Financial Sector? If you want a very broad US financials - there's XLF. But there are also funds that focus on banks. For example - KRE for regional banks. KBE and KBWB for larger banks. There is IAI which is primarily broker-dealers in the US.
Love this guy. Requested that he talk about bank deregulation. KRE 58c 06/08
I bought a bunch of KRE at $50ish a few weeks ago.
I wish I knew when KRE was going to start its trek towards 40
This week, I traded SPY 588p, SPY 600c, AAPL 210c, AAPL 212.50p, UNH 260c, LLY 700c, LLy 740c, TMO shares, VRTX shares, JPM shares, HBAN shares, KRE 58p, KRE 59p, KRE 60c, RGTI 11.50c, RGTi shares, and a boat load of UNH shares today. All winners. Bagholding old UNH shares with average cost basis at 330 now. May the market gods have mercy upon my soul-less body.
Somebody has to make $$ on WOLF....might as well be you. I filled up the boat with science and re-shoring drug tools TMO, DHR, A. Have KRE 56p for FOMC tomorrow. So many good trades with VIX over 20.
I’m not going to post my core shorts for 2 reasons: 1.) they’d look absolutely degenerate if you don’t fully buy into my thesis, so you’d lack the conviction to hold (some 5s rated funds, safe haven’s, etc) and 2.) I bought them cheap in march, they’re expensive now and tbh.:. i’m not confident they’ll payout even if I’m right at this point, fraud is rampant. XLRE/XLF/XRT naked short, regional banks (IAT/KRE), holding companies (BX/ARCC/etc.)… tbh, open the prospects for SCHD, or similar… they’re full of shit co’s I expect to default. Others would take too much explanation, and if you hood a similar belief you’re already most likely in them. dyor, not advice, but enough people upvote I figured I’d throw a bone… but I must emphasize: you need convection in the underlying structural thesis rooted in the credit markets, or else you’ll paper hand these and lose. if it was easy, everyone would be in it. Whatever you do, stay safe.
Yeah, I handwaved that a bit. Let’s remove the box and the withdrawal for a moment. Also remember that each broker have different margin requirements (some much more strict, for example IKBR). With TOS which is more lax, if you invest $100k in some standard ETF, like $KRE, your margin impact is 30%, which means you have $100k - $30k available, to trade something else or withdraw some of it. If you do a triple leveraged ETF, it is 75% (so 25% left). If you are long options, it is 100%. If you are short option, it is some other % (depending). Higher vol stock would even have higher than that. Additionally, the margin requirements can change for the worse at any time (usually when your portfolio is stressed already), and with higher volatility. Accounting for all of that, and the fact you need to withstand standard stock movements, you can only withdraw a small amount of your portfolio before it is liquidated. Again the box is just an interest rate optimization. No broker will allow you to have a $500k portfolio, keep it and withdraw 75% of that. The margin loan becomes a double whammy in your margin power. Even 50% is a stretch (unless you have a contract with the broker). The 25-30% is standard, but has some risks (especially with the current market).
KRE calls paid for this fine lobster 🦞
Had KRE calls up 150% in 2 days 🥱
KRE poots for bank earnings, IWM calls for random tweets in the middle of happy hour. That's it. Go forth and multiply.

KRE 48p or 45p, for April 17 or April 25. Mix em and match em however you like. Regional banks cannot win under an scenario.
regional banks are going broke, powell said it a year ago way before mango, buy KRE puts
IWM and KRE, small caps and regional banks.
Look at the holdings of XLF, KRE and XLU.... Good bets... Slowly buy in...
Honestly, I think Powell had no real choice but to hold rates. Inflation is still way too sticky — the last Core PCE print actually ticked up by 0.1% vs February. On top of that, tariffs just got reintroduced across the board, with a 10% base rate and reciprocal tariffs coming from Canada (25%) and China (34%). That’s inflationary, no way around it. If the Fed cut now, it would basically be pouring fuel on the fire. Markets are clearly feeling the pressure. VIX hit 44 today, SPY dropped nearly 10% in a few days, and regional banks (KRE) got hammered — down over 10%. Liquidity is getting tight too: the repo facility has drained down to just $196B from $2.3T not that long ago. That’s a big red flag. Then there’s the economic data — unemployment’s creeping up (4.2%), auto and mortgage delinquencies are climbing, and over 9 million student loan borrowers are behind on payments. Consumer confidence has now dropped five months in a row, which has historically preceded every recession since the 1950s. Even the Fed's GDP outlook is split — Atlanta Fed is projecting -3.7% for Q1, while the NY Fed still sees +2.8%. That kind of divergence usually means someone’s very wrong. So no, I don’t expect a rate cut any time soon unless something *really* breaks. If inflation keeps creeping and tariffs push prices higher, the Fed might even have to tighten again. Personally, I think they’re bluffing with the “1–2 cuts later this year” — unless we get a credit event or a massive labor market shift, I don’t see it happening.
Regional banks KRE -10% That should be alarming to people
Regional banks broke by end of year, Puts on KRE
Bought some deep OTM leap puts on KRE last year (2026 expiry) and have been averaging down ever since. Now have a big fat stack and waiting for the firework show.
I've been watching KRE since late summer, definitely looking primed for a short position.
