We need to see what happens over the weekend, but right now it looks like it could be the start of the decline. We see the dollar up, gold down, and stocks down. This setup means liquidity is being drained from the market, which is one of the first signals that people are moving out of equities and into cash. Next week it could be more clear if this is the start of something or just a short term liquidity squeeze. The market is going to have a hard time moving higher without financials on board. And financials have been struggling for the last month. I'll be watching to see if KRE struggles more than XLF which would suggest regional lending is stressed. Over the last month, tech and tech related has been the only thing keeping this market afloat. Everything else is flat to down. That's not a healthy rally, that's a market running on fumes. I’ll be looking forward to what happens on Monday. Have a good weekend everyone!
It’s uhhhhh kinda spicy out there. KRE puts working out nicely for me.. but, yeah, kinda spooky right now.
No, it's more about macro-economic catalysts and trends. Like KWEB was during the trade war(s) with China and KRE was during the regional banking crisis. They were directional play where I was rolling long puts to catch a bear downtrend. For GLD and XLE (commodities) and XAR (defense sector), it's usually a directional play when there's a demand crisis, like a war. I've only taken bullish positions on these to ride the trend up. For volatility plays I'm sector-neutral. I just go where the vol is, I don't really care what the underlying is. Like around the time that the SPAC for what became Truth Social was getting hyped, vol was all over the place. Fun times.
i do think higher rates hurt IWM disproportionately but the chart looks really clean. KRE is another one i am eyeing for a short. Which is the regional bank ETF but will do so after this week's QRA
two structural reasons ETFs work specifically for non fulltime traders, separate from the liquidity and IV points already covered. idiosyncratic event risk goes away. on a single name you have to track earnings, FDA decisions, executive turnover, SEC filings. miss any of them and a 30 percent overnight gap takes out a defined risk position. on a sector or broad market ETF, the basket dilutes single name catalysts and you only need to track macro events that are calendared months out. for someone with a day job, the attention savings is the real edge. tax structure on index options versus single name options is materially different. SPX, NDX, and RUT are section 1256 contracts which means 60 percent long term, 40 percent short term cap gains regardless of holding period. SPY and QQQ options do not get that treatment. for a wheel or premium selling strategy with high turnover, the 60/40 split on the index versions is often 5 to 8 percent on annual P and L for a high bracket trader. trade off on the index versions: no equivalent for sector ETFs in the same tax category. so the structure that makes the most sense for non fulltime is broad market core on SPX or NDX for tax efficiency, plus SPY or QQQ when you need smaller contract size or weeklies, plus sector ETFs (XLE, XLF, KRE, KWEB) for thematic exposure when you have a specific view.
Yeah I mostly trade sector funds. Like options on XLE during this oil-supply driven market. I traded options on XLF and KRE when busted banks were in the news. GLD or SLV for precious metals. KWEB on China news. Stuff like that. I don't trade leveraged or inverse funds. Why settle for 2x or 3x when I can get 10x with OTM contracts? For Tech, I just buy QQQ shares and hold for the long term. I started accumulating QQQ in 2010 and haven't sold any shares yet, so I'm sitting on some nice gains right now.
i disagree with the small cap thesis, feds hands are tied, higher rates disproportionally hurts small cap, I am especially bearish on $KRE Personally think the reshoring play is $EWW (Mexico ETF) and $EWZ (Brazil ETF)
KRE dying tomorrow. Regional banks fucked the next quarter+
Private credit starting to explode at the same time as second and third order effects of the Ramadan War are starting to kick in is just *chef's kiss* but then I remember shit I live here too. At least my KRE puts are finally in the money now lol
Guy bet $150k on 1200 KRE 63c 03/27. Can't wait for that loss porn.
I mean, none of those other middle east nations are fighting back AT ALL? Just sitting back taking it? Wtf. Also: KRE 63c for new bank capital requirement regulations tomorrow.
Al Jazeera has the best coverage. English commentators are all south african. Lol. Also: KRE 63.50c 03/27 for FOMC
Full port rotation Long CVI CORN GLNG Short EWY JETS KRE
Heads up - Whale loaded up on KRE calls around close. June 18 $69c - 52K (about $13.5M worth) and $73c - 78K (about $15.2M worth) Missed it in my daily unusual option volume scan at close. Will probably grab some tomorrow at open. Whoever grabbed those has got a lot of conviction (aka insider stuff I’m guessing).
GDP collapsing ,Trade deficit collapsing , 92k jobs lost , PCE %3 , CPI %2.5 , PPI %2.9, SOFR has been pushing beyond the Fed's upper bound for months now (NO LIQUDITY) , Private Credit going bust & blocking redemptions ( Blackrock, Blackstone, Blueowl ) oh and has anyone paid attention to Regional banks? WAL losing %15 in a single day last week? KRE losing its 50 , 100 and 200 SMA all within a week and half? Nearly %20 of global oil supply is being choked off, energy = growth. Global GDP is shrinking every minute those tanks sit parked along with Force Majeure now being declared by producers in the region, startups are long arduous processes, not to mention all the refineries that have been bombed. Even if the War "ended" today the price in Oil will not go back down meaningfully , the damage is already done and a global recession is all but certain. Oil touching $120 signaled the end, inflation will return with force and anybody who thought the Fed may cut or announce cuts at FOMC next week is going to be sadly disappointed. They can tweet , obfuscate the truth about the situation all they want but the fact is the economy is teetering , the financial system is running out of liquidity. Something needs to give .
Update: ANET and KRE kept me from jumping off my roof. 🥳🥳
The divergence between SPY and KRE is concerning, which one is lying?2
KRE for acquisition targets.
the regional bank sector is starting to boom, don't say i didnt tell ya regards $KRE
Yes, Intuit has been trashed (I have a tiny position, now tinier), but as for Financials, I just made a bet on regional banks (KRE). We'll see...
KRE up 4% Remember regional banks were all going bankrupt? 😂
Hmm.. is this laughable commie central planning 10% rate limit going to pump my KRE puts? I may be a genius.
KRE is back to its Dec highs. Gonna be interesting to see if it can punch through or gets rejected again.
Regional banking (KRE) wiped out weeks of decline today.
Might be time to start shorting banks..Someone mentioned KRE, seems like a good opportunity. Lot of chatter about BofA silver short positions, but I can't really find anything but retarded OMG! posts on that one.
Puts on $KRE / regional banks. No reason, just thinking that every once in a while one of them collapses
Regional bank ETF KRE sitting at 100% short interest. 100% wish I knew what the other side of that trade is. Holding individual shares and shorting the ETF?
BUY FINANCIALS. Financial stocks multiples will start to move towards tech multiples. This starts with deregulation, the blockchain, and A.I. people forget about financials when it comes to A.I. there up big in 2025, they will have an even better 2026. This includes Goldman, JPM, Citi, Wells, Bank of America, XLF, KRE, COF, etc.

In a bull steepener scenario, the cause for why it's happening matters a lot. If it's a recession that's causing the fed to react, all the gains in things like KRE and XLF will be at risk. Financials do benefit from the fed lowering rates, but in a recession credit becomes a problem. Defaults rise and the losses outweigh the gains. Investment activity slows. Bad times
KRE short interest of 59 million shares now exceeds the shares outstanding of 54.85 million. Wish u/devereaux was around to tell me if it's time to go long regional banks
Look at KRE. The consumer is very weak and regional banks feel it. To mitigate credit defaults they have to dump other assets. And the first thing that comes to mind are the riskiest crypto related ones. This though creates a cascade where retails are getting margin called and have to sell stocks to cover. AI is of a strategic state-level importance, but it is the average public that this whole construct was built on. And if they have no buying power it has to go down, especially in such tight liquidity...at least till the FED steps in and starts the big printing that makes everyone's assets even less worth.
KRE dead. This is scary
Matters for some of us who hold a lot of KRE options lol. I’ve got a lot of barrier notes tied to that underlier
Meanwhile KRE is up almost 100% since then. Sure in the moment it felt but but in hindsight it didn’t matter at all
Don’t forget the regional bank run like SVB. Man KRE got slammed lol
Big fed REPO activity last Friday. Keep an eye on panic selling. I'm looking at KRE puts for the morning, if that plays out I'll buy calls to capture the fade on the other side.
KRE is getting taken behind the shed and getting its ass beat
There was a period where it was doing pretty well, but it actually hasn’t been very impressive since the first rate cut and it didn’t recover as strongly from China 100% tariff day. For the strong economy thesis to have backing, we’ve seen KRE roll (with big banks not being very impressive) and homebuilders roll since September. That’s not a great indicator. It really has been about AI here lately.
Why are big banks underperforming today but KRE is doing ok? Doesn’t look to be the loan issue.
Unusual options activity: 14,000 put contracts expiring this Friday on KRE, strike of 57
Regional bank Cadence Bank $CADE dumping hard....part of KRE
Yessir. Not sure I was super clear I meant I did dumb 2day only puts that missed, but Steve podcast changed my mind, market acted like they undervalued the smaller banks but probs blindly buying the dip. Tbh no idea whats to come but might bet on some unexpected return to mid /previous levels on KRE in a weak if cheap calls available
probs true. I wasted money on KRE puts thursday, I think I default into buying that banks are being shady and thus will be intertwined with fraud and it can stack up. Steve Eisman podcast says the balance sheets and earnings of banks alot more stringent these days and the big banks doing ok for now and he doesn't feel the reactions are warranted. Might buy week long KRE calls monday, but also im new to options and stupid so
Lost money on the last bank scare (KRE puts), they wont get me this time
Will my absurdly pessimistic KRE put leaps I bought in April finally pay off? I hope not!
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.
