My analysis shows that Market dynamics favour more pressure again today, possibly spilling into Monday, so be patient. However, still supportive into June OPEX it seems, so out of this we will get a nice Buy the Dip opportunity
A FULL TIME TRADER'S THOUGHTS ON THE MARKET 27/05 - AFTER TRUMP ROLLS BACK EU TARIFFS. What does the market look like in terms of dynamics? What are the expectations? What Am I doing? 👇👇
22/05 - The market pulls back as expected. Bond auction was the catalyst but the path as already laid. Here I break down a few more important datapoints and expectations going forward through the rest of the week
I'm a full time trader and these are all my market thoughts 21/05 - VIX expiration - what is the effect going to be? Possible unclench coming. A look at the skew data for indices, and a look at why the oil option market is telling us that the Israel Iran news is a nothingburger.
New to investing – want to buy ETFs long-term without overthinking it. Any advice?
I'm a full time trader and these are all my market thoughts 20/05 - Market still grinding higher, Tax receipts inform our view on current economic conditions, and a look at VIX dynamics. Portfolio management recommendations 👇
Market Analysis 12/05. China trade is what everyone's talking about but please also follow Trump in the Middle East, since this is a key market narrative that most overlook. Many signals including VVIX suggest supportive price action into May OPEX, and likely into June also.
The dots still aren't connecting right now for us to have sustainable upside. Yesterday's action was far from bullish IMO. And that's true across multiple data points. Here's why.

They’re dirt cheap, literally 1$ per contract at 7/10 exp. Worth the upside all day since TLT has hit 100% spikes during big crashes. I’m loaded up on like 80 contracts spread through feb
I still think about that guy that went all in on TLT July calls and everyone called him an idiot.....hes probably living life now
If you guys are smart, you will load up on deep otm TLT calls
TLT gap fill and then dump
TLT is up 5% from the May lows
Most of my portfolio is in ETFs, with most of that tracking the S&P and the remainder largely in semis. They've done well this year so far. Overall I'm still beating the S&P, but not by much. But in my primary trading account I sold much of my holdings to buy BNO, O&G equities, and green energy equities with the thesis that the biggest energy crisis in history would benefit them, then I was planning to rotate out and repurchase my old holdings and anything else that looked solid (with an expected discount). My strategy worked, for a short time. Then the ceasefire caused me to lose most of those gains. I held and bought the dip on a lot of my holdings because I knew the Strait wouldn't reopen for months to come. And that worked too, I kept bouncing back to ATHs for 2 months right before another barrage of "peace deal imminent" bs sent my holdings spinning again and again. With the MOU signed (for the 3rd time somehow) I ate my losses on about half my energy holdings and went looking for good buys. Bought across multiple sectors looking for defensive holdings, good dividends, solid earnings, and growth (semis, mining, shipping, foreign markets, utilities, TLT, etc). Only for most of those to promptly fall off a cliff in the last week, I'm probably down another ~8% on those collectively already, all while my energy holdings drop ~2% daily. Tl;dr I missed out on the semis/memory/market rally from April to early June, just to get buttfucked by the recent pullback across the board anyway. Apparently nothing is more bearish for energy than the largest supply interruption in history, which is *still* draining inventories at a historic pace. Silly me.
TLT puts and SLV calls?
After all these years, is it finally time for TLT and bonds? No, couldn’t be.
Small caps and TLT absolutely parabolic today Big money already has the PCE report for tomorrow and it’s ICE COLD

TLT is ripping. We are so cooked
TLT and gold moving together as well
If we can get away without rate hikes after SoH was blocked for 3+ months, it would be truly amazing Right now most only see 1 rate hike this year Today, gold is down the most, TLT is up a little, and USD is up a lot
Some body is selling, its not me. I am tied up in $TLT till 7/17.
TLT little upward channel lately
I'm not going to say he's right all the time but folks think he's still a bear when he's not? Dude used to be a hedge fund guy so he'd be short or neutral. Hedge funds aren't designed with the goal to beat the S&P500 or whatever benchmark. They are designed so rich folks can under perform the S&P500 but sleep better knowing if shit happened they'd have some insurance policy. During the GFC many of those hedge funds didn't pan out. Michael Burry's did. Then MB close his hedge fund and opened Scion capital. It's mostly personally owned so he didn't have to deal with investors or whatever. It's NOT a hedge fund so he's been mostly long but he's still a hedgefund/contrarian guy so he'll opportunistically short. He's made both right calls and wrong calls. I remember I went long TLT when he was short and Buffet was short/neutral. Dude caught the bottom for the China tech. Also made money with the quick in&out on the TSLA short. Dude isn't like Chanos so he doesn't commit to shorts, but he's also not like Buffet so he'll exit longs quickly too. That's why I don't even try to mirror his plays like I do Buffet who I use as a "Berkshire will do the vetting homework for me" (bought BAC a bit lower than Buffet did in 2020. Also started stacking AXP which has turned out pretty great). Twitter MB however is the worse. He'll say sensationalist shit for personal reasons. Either cause he's off-spectrum or because he wants to manipulate the markets. It's even more worthless than looking at his 13F. Folks should realize by now that free investment advice on the internet is worthless if not worth less than that cause if it's worth 2 cents then they'd have charged you that $0.02.
I would diversify way more and I wouldn't allocate more than 5% in the first month to this strat. From that 5% (about 100k) diversify into at least 10 different trades, try to find uncorrelated ones and go far OTM. I would also consider doing TLT for starters, while you can't go that far OTM, you don't have a lot of volatility in it. Ape-ing into QQQ will sure blow out when a 7% drop or more in the market.
Yeh you right. He bought 400 x AMD 340C for Dec '27. 600k ->11M with today's value. His 1,5 MIL on TLT calls, gone.
Ayo i remember a guy posting 10 months ago a big ass bet on AMD leaps like $3m and hedges with some TLT or some shit. I think this guy has x10 both his main play and his hedge LMAO
Short term TLT, it should bounce as there will be bailouts.....AI is true and the biggest beneficiaroea will be, again application....drug, healthcare and of course, softwares...
TLT has historically been the best hedge. That could be different this time around.
TLT may never be green again
TLT needs a bit of a pump. Once we see rates drop, we can hit 7600 on the SPX
Friendly reminder the TLT bond ETF is hitting lows and breaking down past levels last seen in 2007. 20 and 30 years bond yields are almost identical. Bond market pricing in the fact that the US literally will not exist in 20 years L0L
No, they have not recovered. For TLT, the IShares long term treasury fund, the discount to par on the entire portfolio is in the neighborhood of 25% (when I looked last).

When bonds are getting crushed by inflation and increased rates? (Don’t look at the perf of TLT for the past 7 years 🤣). Thank goodness for VXUS though.
moving $14k in my 401k from cash to my funds on Monday may have been premature. Today gave back Tuesday's TLT gain so the bond component in this $14k wad may still be neutral I guess.
My most regarded play today was making 200 bucks by selling 84.5 TLT naked puts
I should load up on more TLT puts
In my opinion it's possible. But the market after April was crazier than ever. IRAN, hyped IPOs, CPI, fed discussions, elevated OIL prices, TLT at interesting prices, IRAN attacking - too messy. Sometimes it's better to stay on the sidelines and see where everything goes. Your decision sounds rational, but the instrument you are picking (0dtes) to play the rational game is irrational given the context. Rational people win by playing longer term games.
Presumably you’d invest the capital raised from the short sale, say in TLT and end up netting a few points
> Buy some TLT with the proceeds Proceeds of what? You realize the yield on TLT is only 4.6%. I'd rather not invest in index funds that support shitty companies that don't provide the profits for their high valuation. Problem solved.
I'm so retarded I bought TLT @ $85.

Financial Advice: Full port TLT Sept puts Youre welcome!
F this noise Loading up September TLT puts. Rates finnin to blast off
TBH If CPI prints 4.1+ on Wednesday, I'd watch VIX closely. Anything above 25 and you're in a zone where most swing setups just aren't worth the risk-reward until the dust settles. People forget that even a technically perfect entry gets demolished if the macro tide turns against you mid-trade. The ECB hiking Thursday right before a hot CPI print is a rough one-two punch for anyone holding growth names. Dollar strengthens, risk assets take the hit. I'd be watching DXY and TLT more than individual charts this week — if those two are both moving against you, idk if any amount of technical analysis saves the trade.
in very simple terms, it has a portion to do with AI, but not so much a pop; think of it as massive liquidation in order to realize large portions of profit, such profit is then utilized to purchase other equities that have taken a beating, and on top, the current bond market has been obliterated for many years and very "undesired"; however, countries the world over do not have anything remotely of value in terms of country-power compared to the USA and any investor the world over would significantly favor US Treasuries over any other, especially in their current state (gold will tank sub-4k in week(s)) which further exasperates the situation for treasuries there will a massive flight to safety however it will be short-termed, short-termed, not long-term whatsoever; the time to liquidate major positions is NOW, and that's specifically for positions that have gone astronomical as of late, leaving a large portion holding major bags and for extended periods (can be seen from lightyears away) US Treasuries are going to SKYROCKET BEYOND BELIEF and they're week(s) away I'm 20% in long-term treasuries, keep an eye on TLT and TMF (TMF is where my 20% is and it delivers 3xTLT) mark this post and come back to it week(s) later, take me to the cleaners or don't hesitate to PayPal me with some love PATHETICALLY easy, and I stress the PATHETIC
TLT still going down. Commodities going down. Crypto going down. It’s getting Black Friday out there fellas. Them rate hikes were not priced in. God I hope Saylor has a credit event and we see 50k corn. 🌽
TLT calls on these fake jobs is free money
Very similar story with my own. Here I am trying to recommend VOO, SGOV, TLT, and safe blue chips. Meanwhile she YOLO'd into TSLA, PLTR, TEM, and other meme shit with you clowns. Not sure which is worse: she's clearly getting some of those names from youtubers or whatever boomer finfluencers or that she's actually doing well with those investments.
The top is in. I dumped all my AT&T and $TLT shares and FOMO all that cash into $VXUS, $VT, and $EWY. I still own Deere & Co and Sony; but I dumped all the rest of my individual stocks today. If no one else in the market wants to buy value, then why should I hold value??
Imagine a brokerage so powerful it can sell short $MU to exactly a 1000 because you are short calls. I have never owned $MU other than $SPY. I have never owned an MU call or put. I just find this current festinating AF and yes I am a pussy with all my money in Covered short $TLT puts, with one $MOS put.
Oil down, VIX down, SPY up, TLT up. We're FINE guys. Just a little breather for semis/AI, I'm sure this will only fuel another squeeze higher.
Anyone else eyeing puts on TLT?
Everything’s a computer, USO, SLV, GLD, TLT, DXY… all of it

I've made the most on TLT puts this year. Can't wait for another leg
Most of the time, TLT sucks to watch during the day.
I’m just buying TLT until this market cools off a little . Sold all my Hormel for now
Congratulations to everyone not bag holding. (I am all tied up on hoping TLT doesn't shit the bed by 7/17, selling covered puts) **tl;dr** I miss being liquid.
Agreed, the only potential weak point is federal debt and the dollar purchasing power, i.e. as long as bonds have buyers and inflation remain in check this market will go up. I am long with an asymmetric hedge, small lot of TLT puts that would deliver multipliers if markets break down.
TLT mooning. We are cooked
Brent about break lows, TLT ripping. You thought this rally was absurd? Wait until we get rid of headwids
TLT is ripping……we might be cooked
Thinking of some TLT puts. Seems like it likes to pump in pre-market and dump during market hours.
Only thing I held overnight was TLT calls. They're now ITM. Here's to hoping the green candles continue.
I bought TLT today and out preformed NVDA 😂
Did you educate yourself about options trading in the process, or did you just yolo your life savings? My trading plan: keep a majority of my portfolio in VOO, USO, GLD and TLT. Earns dividends, grows over time. Not going to lose 60% of its value in any given day barring the apocalypse. I’m agnostic to the fundamentals on most of the options I trade. I don’t care about P/E ratio or FDA approvals for the most part because the vast majority of my options plays are high-probability, <7DTE credit spreads or condors (depending on the trend of the market/stock). I pick a short strike that is 80-85 delta and a long strike 5-10 lower. No one position risks more than 2% of my account. If the value of the spread doubles or the underlying crosses the short strike, I cut my losses and close. I close winners at 75-80% max profit. On the occasions where I want to make a directions play, I buy an 85 delta plus itm call or put with a few months to expirations. I set an alarm for if the underlying crosses a support or resistance level and stop my losses. I try to keep net beta-weighted delta close to zero. With credit spreads, I don’t need to be correct on direction, I just need to not be very wrong. I can make money in bull or bear markets.
XLP/XLF/ETHA/TLT. Boring ass shit for my boring ass portfolio.
yeah i saw that too, huge call buys on TLT. looks like someone is betting on rates going down and bonds going up. wondering if its a hedge fund or some big investor making a play. definitely keeps an eye on it to see if it pans out
TLT would drop if rates go up. TLT is as if you owned bonds. If bond yields go up, your old bonds with lower yields are worth less, ergo TLT down. If bond yields drop, and you have a bunch of bonds fielding higher, then the value of those bonds is now higher, ergo TLT up.
Yeah, that definitely looks like someone making a pretty aggressive long-duration rates bet or at least positioning for a major shift in the rate environment over the next couple years. Could be: * expecting cuts/recession * slowing growth/disinflation * flight-to-safety positioning * or even just a hedge against equity risk The size is what makes it interesting though. LEAPS that far out usually feel more macro-view driven than short-term speculation. Doesn’t necessarily mean they’re “right,” but it’s hard to ignore that kind of flow in TLT.
TLT and drill I guess. 🤷♂️
The problem is you've got a lot of people that view the chart as COVID being somehow the norm which completely flies in the face of reality. You've got a guy in here saying it's never been this low, which is true but it's also not a meme stock and this is traditionally pretty much the channel it's always been in since inception. And unlike at the tail end of 2022/beginning of 2023 when you could reasonably make good assumptions for why rates would be cut there's not even really that to work with now since we decided to have a Mexican standoff in the Strait of Hormuz. Basically I wouldn't put any faith into the TLT chart the fund has only existed since 2002 and there hasn't been a prolonged period of high inflation for all of that. I'm talking years of over 5% like the 70s. I'd have a feeling if it was around then the stock price would be far lower.
Damn I wonder if a bunch of OtM TLT calls are worth the protection in event of a bad downside correction I assume bonds would rally if shit hits fan
Yeah I normally had quite a small TLT allocation in my long term portfolio - 5%. I sold it all at the start of the Iran war anticipating (as many people did) oil prices increasing + inflation. Now thinking of reallocating - I have that amount in cash for now.
Rates may hold but unlikely to go up, TLT at 80 is as low as it gets, and if we end up in a recession next year once bubble pops and all the Iran war supply shock works itself out, rates may indeed come down and TLT is back at 100
Why are yields dropping so fast? TLT gonna be running hard
Just stick that shit into bonds paying 4% (TLT it 4.6% TBIL is 3.6%) use the monthly interest to make the monthly payments and reinvest the excess back into the bonds. Seems fool proof honestly that extra 5k per years will start to compound nicely.
Definitely take it 100% if you can afford the payments out of pocket TLT gives good yield SGOV is like at 4.5% and shit like coke n Pfizer is like that 10%
I'm sitting on TLT, pfe, clx, rtx, and smaller positions in several etfs right now. Earlier this year I had a large hog position. I made money on that and then sold. I'm not a typical investor though and what I do is not normal. Usually I'm buying reasonable companies with a dividend and selling calls. I frequently buy dips. My sold calls are quite often ATM or ITM initially and occasionally I roll out and up when the stock price decline ends. Overall it works, but the volatility isn't something most people would be comfortable with. Out my list I think pfe and clx are solid positions more than rtx. I think everyone should buy at least some TLT when it's sitting at this high of a yield. If the economy rolls over it will do fine while a lot of other stuff suffers. If inflation takes off it might do poorly for a bit, but in the end I think it will do fine as inflation typically self corrects by crushing the economy equities depends on.
This means inflation is down right, long TLT boyos
Jacked to the tits on USO puts and TLT calls. Fuck the bears
