TLT you may have to baghold for 6 months if it goes sour but it will get there
After being bullish all last week I think I’m Sitting out Monday except for a bit of SQQQ and TLT, but I think I’m turning bearish this week if we dip past 545
In 6 months TLT gonna print
I tried and thinking of this play but TLT and leaps. So far made money. But not as much as hoped. Also lucky didn't hope the back.
I bought TLT and maxed out margin at 3x after finding out brokers give more leverage for treasuries than stonks.
USFR, TLT, GLD. Long dated puts on SPY if you want stupid high risk
I have msft, PFE, OXY, pep, o, IMKTA, carr, tgt, XLI, schd, voo, amzn, and TLT for the lions share of my portfolio I'm part swing trade part dividend investor so don't read too much into those positions as being ideal for dividend investing. Some of those positions are small and some large. Each of them made sense when I opened them and for the most part have worked out. One thing you will probably notice is no qqq and my tech exposure is limited msft, amzn, and voo. If you had seen my account last year I had Costco, Mcd, sbux, NVDA, ko, and a bunch of other things. I ditched most of it back in December and went into a holding position for a few months. April 7th I deployed most of my capital as I think that was close to the bottom. The day I did that I went down my list of ideas and bought what made sense at that moment. I figure over the next few months I will wind down the TLT position for the most part and look for other opportunities.
TLT (unless the bond market continues to be dog shit). SGOV Any XLP or aristocrat dividend stocks are worth looking at. Shorts and puts.
I haven't bought puts, but I have sold puts on TLT the bond fund
It's basically what I'm doing right now. It's been working just fine. People say they want a decent return. What is a decent return? Say you think a decent return is 10% annually. Would you be ok making say 10% on share price and another 3-4% on premium? I buy the shares and immediately sell calls for a week or two out or for the end of year. Usually I buy enough for multiple contracts and I do both. I prefer to buy stocks that pay at least some dividend. If the stock continues to drop I usually roll the nearer expirations out and up. Does it work really well? Good enough that I don't get worked up about market drops. Now the real question is if you do this what do you do with the premium you collect? I usually toss it towards voo, schd, defensive stocks, and recently at TLT. My long term plan is to keep growing my share count in voo and schd in particular so snatching up shares here and there from this method checks a box for me. Will I be upset that I didn't get to sell shares at an even higher price if the market runs way past my strikes? No. If I want to keep the position I will just keep rolling up and out and use the premium to buy more shares. Will I be upset if the stock plummets? No. I don't buy stocks I think are junk and I'm perfectly willing to hold my stocks long term. Will that bite me hard one day? Probably, but I generally keep my positions high risk stuff small so the pain financially would be minimal. If that approach sounds reasonable to you try it. If it seems dumb or too much hassle do something else. Good luck.
That's nothing you should see my TLT bags
I think you’re way too optimistic on TLT. I too am bullish on TLT, but I don’t think it will get close to your strike until June/July, and that’s if 2 rate cuts occur. Currently there’s a 47.3% chance that 2 rate cuts will happen by July, and based off the characteristics (duration, etc.) of TLT’s bond portfolio, I think the price range after 2 cuts can be between 96-98 (your strike). 1. Maybe wait another month and then look into July/Aug calls. 2. If ya wanna gamble on May 30 calls, get a lower strike (91, 92). I wouldn’t be surprised if TLT does a small rally by end of May. 98 strike is way too unrealistic
TLT short is free money here, in a recession the higher debt burden will just make yields spike more
i sold my penny battery stock before a disastrous earnings. Its up 28% from where I sold on march 4. I bought a shitload of TSLQ on liberation day, then went into a meeting and came out down 7% because the Elon leaving DOGE news came out. I then covered and missed a crapload of money on post liveration day stuff. I sold all my gold at 55 to go into TLT and sold the TLT bottom. It happens man. Dont beat yourself up. And you know what. After all those fuck ups up above and switching 100% to SGOV and taking a break from any sort of trading... im still up 183% since May 31st 2024
US 10 yr now down to 4.258% . The $TLT train has departed the station after picking up some gold sellers.
US 10 yr is down to 4.2770%. This is the level it was rejected at Wednesday. DXY is up to 99.625 which is near a 1 week high. Gold is moving lower near $3293. Yen is moving lower to 143.39 Yen/USD which is near 1 week low. My guess is we get a relief rally in the DXY, which isn't good for equities. But this move should be good for $TLT and other fixed income assets.
sorry but the TLT chart seems so artificially manipulated can someone explain. YOu can see it at every point. Small buy volumes push the price WAY up, wilst large sell volumes marginaly move the price. Additionally on a 1 min chart you can see again and again that on buy orders, the price suddenly jumps by 1-3 cents, as if buyers were "ok" with paying that higher price out of nowhere. Can anyone explain this?
If my TLT puts can make money tomorrow I swear I won’t buy anything stupid for at least another two days
I am in the same camp. That's why I've been buying $TLT over the $SPY expecting that the Fed is going to be forced to cut interest rates due to a slowing economy & rising unemployment. But I am not married to that idea. I can see the possibility that the bottom is in and the economy & job market keeps skipping & humming along barely passing that recession grave with the economy intact.
No clue. But I am finally in the green today on my $TLT position, I feel more confident on interest rates continuing to fall over the $SPY breaking above 545 in this current market. It is my opinion that stocks & US treasuries are moving in the exact same directions due to a liquidity crisis. It's easier to sell your stock winners first, than your US Treasuries next when you need cash. You sell your losing stocks and/or index EFT's last when you have no more choices to raise cash.
Even TLT partying. Super broad rally
i love watching TLT. It's like watching Bessent himself trying his best to rig this shit. Every candle up leaves like an extra 0.01 gap to make up for these drags down haha
TLT is green. GLD is green. Stocks are green. Hmmm
I don’t know why TLT is up with strong job numbers but I’m happy to take the profits
Are you holding TLT? High yield savings account is safer. Bonds are acting odd lately
TLT almost melted the night before the tariff pause. Dollar vs Euro. The fact that we are even discussing Ukraine and it’s not treated the same way other places like Yemen are in the news. Obvious signs the world has moved on. All these different groups, having to discuss any of them is a sign of weakness that can’t be reversed. Kind of the running assumption Russia and France are triple crossing everyone.
Nah the NVDA and TLT have the 24 stamp
brb gonna make a triple inverse leveraged TLT ETF
TLT fading into the night slowly. Watch out.
TLT been dropping all day too
I'm eyeing the TLT. I think the IV is pretty low, and we could see some wild action over the rest of the week.
how's TLT doing today?
Yes. I should have sold more at market open. I've been DCA down, BTD's and selling the rips on $TLT.
Today's TLT movement is very bad. Huge gap up and just straight red after. Same PA as TLT opening at 94 3 Fridays ago or golds PS yesterday...
Someone mind telling me why TLT is dropping like a rock?
Realized $1k covering TLT puts, looking for $200 more.
meanwhile TLT still drops like a waterslide
Im so tempted to buy TLT with my SGOV funds but I probably shouldnt. Its my emergency fund
I gotta check you on that comment for the 2024 election. More people abstained from voting in the 2024 election than people who voted for either Harris or Trump. I doubt the minority of the country dislikes the president and administration at this point. The second comment I will make is that the current administration is making governments across the world reconsider their stance on trade relations with the US after this tariff episode. The long standing repercussions of this situation will have consequences on how global asset managers allocate to the US. BTD on $TLT is great advice..... in a typical recessionary period. This is not that, and having a lawn chair folding in the wind as our executive branch does not inspire confidence in domestic equities and bonds.
This place is too emotional. If you are a bull, BTD on $SPY. If you are a bear, BTD on $TLT. Bear markets always have the most daily volatility, However if you are calling for the end of American ingenuity solely b/c you hate Trump; I hate to tell you this; but you are in the minority according to the 2024 presidential election. Nearly half of America will always hates the current POTUS. Stop making poor financial decisions b/c you are too emotional b/c your preferred presidential candidate lost. This is in no way directed at you, but too many people on reddit have become irrational & emotionally unstable b/c they hate Trump.
Open it up I want to see my TLT short puts marked down
TLT calls are back from the dead.. Praise thy Holy market Gods. 😌
I’m going to put 200% of my portfolio in TLT because bonds are risk free 😎
Soft PMI should put the finishing touches on the TLT bears today
You can be a bear and still make money. Gold is still at $3300 and meme ETF $TLT is up 2.5% in the pre market. The saying bulls make money, bears make money, pigs get slaughtered is very, very true. Use your head and don't get too greedy or let your emotions influence poor decision making.
My TLT calls might get resurrected from the grave

NKE - for their factories in Asia BABA/PDD - Trade deals with China? TLT - long term treasury yield to come down again? Not high beta, but I can allocate more capital on these trades.
TLT Leaps rising from the dead
My TLT calls printing at least
TLT gonna rocket. This is where you wait for that pop and short the fuck out of it. Short and puts. Generational wealth opportunity.
Shorting every share of NVDA I can get my hands on with each pop. Nothing has changed. TLT will soar, GLD will die… shares won’t hold up.
And you were absolutely right on $TLT. I am ignoring the charts on $TLT b/c I have a lot of cash that has recently expired on 5% CD's and the best rate I've found is 4.15% for 13 months. I am fine gambling on $TLT for 4.1% dividend by buying heavily these last 2 weeks. The dividend is the same as the interest rate I would have gotten rolling over a significant amount of cash into my credit union CD's for another year. Duration risk is often overlooked to both the up and downsides. The Fed will eventually cut to met the 2 year rate currently at 3.83%. I have no problem waiting. I have another huge cash in expiring CD's decision to make in October.
That's s very common bearish reversal pattern. Like the Friday after liberation day when TLT opened above 94 and went down all day. Was a clear sell signal I ignored because I'm a moron
can you bitches start buying up the 20 and 30 year treasuries please. I need my TLT to get back to even. thanks.
TLT ⬇️ + SPY ⬆️ = Dead Cat Bounce
ZROZ/TLT offers potential with falling yields, but prolonged high rates or economic changes pose risks. It's promising, though not a guaranteed success.
When is a good time to buy TLT? Ive long debated taking a huge chunk of my SGOV into TLT but havent lol.
Why TLT going skyward rn
TLT/ZB ripping last few mins
I don't think they do but you bring up a really good point The only way you're going to get an answer is watching what takes place over time There's a lot of fear-based nationalism in this current policy. You can look at various European countries and I don't care if it's the UK or Germany. France even, there are sections of the population just like that I've had the exact same thought as you. The problem I keep running into is you get stuck with a couple of choices. Very low yield assets that are relatively disconnected, or if you put on any type of risk, it all correlates in some way. Just off the top. How about gold? Great thing to get into a year or two ago but it's in its parabolic phase right now. What about short-term us treasuries, pretty safe, ain't going to make much money. Long term? Normally a good spot, normally you could make really good money on something like TLT. now, there's a lot more risk. Might not work at all What about a basket of European stocks? If you bought them at the right price, sure, but that's a low GDP low growth environment so you're entry needs to be precise. We can look at the chart, it doesn't grow very fast How about china? They are one sanction away from losing all your money when they get delisted What about bitcoin? This one is pretty interesting and I have some because it's a non correlated asset. Normally trades like the NASDAQ but recently it hasn't been and it could just be that a lot of the supply has been pulled off the market and the people who have it aren't really wanting to sell it at this price. I like the idea of the 5% allocation that you can take up to as high as 10% on a crash of at least 50% S&p 500? Well when that gets under the 200 week moving average, you want to throw all sorts of money at it. Had you just cost averaged every time it did you would be great. What about the s&p 600? Also interesting, hit a full 30% off, trading about a 13 PE right now and has dipped into the 12s. Lots of financials in there that are going to get deregulated. Like this one too But make no mistake this is the most stressful environment since the 2015 to 2016 market and in a lot of ways it reminds me of 2008 just different. It's not as intense but it has a lot of the I'm not sure what the other side will look like theme about it
Shit TLT's on the ticker page.
I'm going to have to just go all in on TMF and TLT leaps if the 30y yield breaks 5 again
Which yield rate is the important one to look at? 10 year? 30 year? TLT?
We hit 4.8 on 10Y I'm gonna full port TLT and just chill.
Completely agree, But that is my bear case in BTD on $TLT. I will switch to buying the $SPY once we hit the 200 WMA
TLT leaps soon seem way too free to pass up. No way this clown show is still going on in mid 2026 or early 2027 ... right?
I mean… it just has to be time for the TLT
No, but I'm also heavy on TLT and UUP puts, and a few AAPL puts, and non-USD currencies.
Time to buy $TLT. Look at a 20 yr chart. Buy low, sell high.
Correct. I know I am too early loading up on $TLT since December 2024. But interest rates will come down, even if it takes until end of spring 2026 when J-Pow's term as Fed chair is up. I can wait.
It worries me when I was the biggest gold bug who was buying from 2020-2023 becomes bearish. I couldn't understand why I looked like an idiot buying gold with runaway inflation while reddit was making cash hand over fist buying fucking $ARRK or $GME, Buy $TLT now. You may look like an idiot for longer than you can imagine, but $TLT will double just like gold did.
Anyone who bought TLT today is probably into dudes.
Just fall over already. Maybe my TLT options will print in both directions as things explode and implode and end up all over the place.
Even the bears are losing. I loaded up in TLT 6 months back. Agent orange got me
I've gold IAU and TLT fighting in my HSA, yes
Recently, yeah. Especially if TLT and $DXY are trending down
Not even going to work. You drop the short end all you're going to do is kick up the back There's only one way you're going to get the back end of the curve down and that is increasing growth, reducing spending, stable economic policy. If he comes out with some BS about settling the tariffs even if nothing happens and we just go back to where we were a few months ago, market rallies hard, TLT Rally's hard, 10-year yield drops. Some variation of that is also fine. He has a couple of wins it sounds like especially on smaller countries he was able to bully. Take those, let Scott drive the economy, start moving into tax policy, markets will rally and we pull out of this possibly without much of a recession and more of a 2016 type slowdown But is he smart enough to actually do it? That's the $10 million question. Kind of feels like he's not...
Defaults aren’t good for TLT
GLD calls, SPY puts, TLT puts, buy BWX
having TLT and SPY puts fees dirty
Holders selling bonds drives yields up. TLT shows the behavior you're expecting.
TLT <85 is the line for 🥭, equities will do their thing but he knows the bond market is the final boss and he’s not that crazy (as evidenced by the ‘yippie’ comment a few weeks ago).. SPY 550 EOW
Meme ETF $TLT is starting to show support whenever the US 10 yr moves above 4.400%. I've been watching US 10 yr futures over the actual $TLT price, but buying $TLT whenever we get close to 4.40%. I'm itching to sell some gold and moving some of that cash over to either $TLT and/or $SPY. I've never completely sold out of my gold positions, but the gold fever is getting pretty frothy and a deserves a trim. And a hedge is a hedge until continuing hedge appreciation becomes riskier than absolute doom : )
holding for TLT entry point so i can benefit from the inevitable TBTF bailout
