XLF

Hey at least we can agree that there is some BS. I also came to the conclusion that BOTH: 1. AI/Mag8 being fake hype and an AI bubble 2. AI/Mag8 actually disrupting SaaS with AI Can't both be true. Or at least not true to the extent that the market is pricing. Congrats on reaching 1st order of effect thinking. That makes you smarter than the average WSB regard. Sadly 1st order isn't worth much when there is 2nd/3rd/4th/5th/Nth. >Positions: Puts on QQQ, XLK, XLF. Long duration. I'll go with MSFT/MAG8/VOO + reserve of gold/STnotes. If it dips buy more. I'm also bearish on the market/economy, but being a 🌈🐻 is hard and often a loser's game. I'd rather be defensive and keep buying dips.

# TLDR --- **Ticker**: QQQ, XLK, XLF **Direction**: Down 📉 **Prognosis**: Buy long-duration Puts **Boomer Fantasy**: "AI is killing SaaS! Just build it in-house!" 👴💭 **Actual Reality**: The entire tech and AI sector is taking a massive shit together 💩🔥

Bagholding ETHA right now collecting peanuts cuz my cost basis is far OTM. Mostly cash gang right now, but I think I'm gonna sell some CSP's on XLF/XLP/TLT as a defensive play. I'm autistic so I don't know what I'm doing.

Legitimate_Treat_762

yeah i have stock in a lot of the big 7. i'm thinking VOO, IWM and XLF for starters next week

KingRegardothe2nd

This is getting fucking silly now, so XLF had most OI for calls at 49.5 and it closes at 914 on 49.48..come on this is almost predictable..

KingRegardothe2nd

XLF to get pinned to 49.5.

MrOptical

Maybe take a look at XLF ETF It has exposure to both V & MA and more quality names

KingRegardothe2nd

The one day XLF is up and XLE down I go for XLE. I would love XLF to pump along with SPX but it isn't happening so I went in on XLE

Why not XLF27/12/17 45p ?

Wowmuchrya

JPM and MS are giving people short exposure to private credit. XLF was the only sector out of all sectors that was green on Friday. If you want to short a bank short regional banks like COF or something like Wells Fargo/Truist which are heavily exposed to private credit. The big move on these is already done though.

it is an ASCII art (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) of a woman's bottom, which is where I think TWFG is at this moment, bottomed, am a chartist first, fundamentals follow. Nice find too, am watching now. XLF has been down hard, bounces incoming.

You are looking at only tech companies to conclude that what must be going on is a tech bubble popping? I'll bring my popcorn. Please post your PnL in six months. https://finviz.com/map.ashx?t=sec The rest also seems down. The only way you could have lost on a bear position today is XLF. And on a weekly basis, it seems very mixed: https://finviz.com/map.ashx?t=sec&st=w1 On monthly, tech looks pretty good in comparison: https://finviz.com/map.ashx?t=sec&st=w4

>A recurring technical pattern could spell trouble ahead for the broader stock market. Whenever financial stocks broke below their 200-day moving average, the negative momentum eventually spilled over to the S&P 500 — and the historical data shows the damage typically deepens the further out you look. >Private Credit: The Stress Beneath The Surface The XLF breakdown is the visible signal. Underneath it, a less visible stress is building in the $2 trillion private credit market — pools of money that lend directly to businesses outside the public bond markets. >These funds boomed in recent years by offering higher yields, but they have a structural weakness: investors can only exit quarterly, and only up to a fixed percentage. >When large numbers of investors want out at the same time, managers have no choice but to limit withdrawals. I do of course have calls on XLF

jjjlyn

i\`m buying XLF

Hamzehaq7

dude, love that you're back in the game and refining your strategy! sounds like you've got a solid plan going on. for ETFs, QQQ is definitely worth checking out, especially with tech stocks making moves lately. also, you might wanna look at IWM for small caps or even some sector-specific ones like XLF for financials if you're feeling risky. premiums can vary, but it’s worth a look. just remember to keep an eye on those support/resistance levels! keep it up, man!

amartya_dev

QQQ and IWM are good alternatives with cheaper premiums. Also look at liquid names like AAPL, AMD and NVDA or sector ETFs like XLF and XLE. But sticking to one ticker (like SPY) can actually help you read price action better.

buppiejc

BAC, WFC, and the State Street indexes (XLF, XLI, XLE, etc.) can work for your small account too, and at $150 you already have enough to buy BAC, and WFC contracts a few weeks out.

KingRegardothe2nd

Clearly my XLF calls are not ignoring it.

KingRegardothe2nd

Guhhh. Had one week for XLF to go up a measly dollar..

fire_alarmist

LOL Look at the scam candles on XLF holy shit. What a cope.

fire_alarmist

Basically yea, they have an omnipresent Skynet like entity that consumes the entirety of the internet and all personal data feeds and gets a read on what people think the problem is. It will watch all the popular finance videos, see what people are saying (IE. some big youtuber says XLF starts going under 49 its recession confirmed, or they say junk bonds getting dumped is the signal) and then just absolutely prevent that thing from happening so no one can confirm their beliefs and maximum uncertainty stays in the market.

Fiddli

XLF keeping the market strong. If financials roll over its going to be spooky

Complex-Note-5274

looking at XLF, /10y and HYG/LQD ratio, I'd think it's a risk on day. Something is afoot

Got_Engineers

BRKB is also the largest holding in XLF the financial sector ETF funny enough

Front_Entertainer395

XLF dropping like a hot potato has never been a good sign of whats to come.

gotnothingman

XLF, XLC, XLE are green today

ConstantEfficiency83

XLF looks like shit on the year

ResponsibleAnt8049

look at the XLF, it's making its bed

fire_alarmist

Bubble isnt popping they are using this opportunity for exit liquidity so that the financial system can get some cash in order to sort out the failing banks situation where they have too many metal shorts and also cant deliver the physical metals promised by the futures contracts. Thats why the XLF sector has been bleeding for months, and why metals futes yesterday got stopped seemingly out of no where right as they were about to break out of their consolidation.

fire_alarmist

Why tf has the XLF banking sector been moving like we are having a full scale liquidity crisis and just absolutely shitting the bed so hard since the new year?

stockjocky

i would start with a separate portfolio with ETF's. there are hundreds of ETF's available for all sectors. an example for long term is a Eric Sprott ETF on the critical minerals sector (gold/silver,copper,uranium). this commodity sector always has a decent return. look at the XLF for Banks. it is a big market out there. as the sectors rotate you can always rotate your ETF's if you want. you will be your own Warren Buffett

Fearless_Strike5651

Maybe it makes sense to direct new money toward a solid international ETF, plus a small emerging markets sleeve for diversification. I like keeping exposure to financials through something like XLF, and energy through FENY or XLE. Adding an MLP fund for midstream exposure also makes sense, I’m own EMO and MLPX.

KingRegardothe2nd

So AMX was the play today, went with the ETF XLF instead. Oh well it's looking like it's off the bottom now but will see if market makers pin it and keep it beat down. But Put call ratio is 3.2 so surely won't want to pay out on that either.

fire_alarmist

XLF in shambles, who ready for some bank runs? The based physical silver stackers win again! They cant keep getting away with it!

Various-Desk9804

State street sector ETFs (XLB, XLF, XLI, etc.) can be a good option if you want to be more selective than just the S&P 500. Gives you exposure to particular sectors instead of a larger index

fire_alarmist

Yep, XLF and banking was crumbling and there was a big risk of contagion with Buttcorn sliding yet again which would have forced a whole lotta bs. They kept it in the back pocket exactly for a time like this.

Rick_12345

This. Look at the charts of QQQ and XLF....

mark000

BTC way below neckline. MAG7 and ARKK just broke theirs. XLF right on its. Highest risk is now off. Soon, the rest.

fire_alarmist

Crazy no one talking about XLF and how it seems the entire banking sector is having a big scare right now. We are at the last resistance point for XLF before a big flush and same for the major indexes. This shit could be COOKED cooked.

nivek_123k

ETFs to wheel at a somewhat affordable price are some of the spdr select etfs listed here. [https://stockanalysis.com/list/sector-etfs/](https://stockanalysis.com/list/sector-etfs/) some of these are <$100. liquidity is just on the cusp of being untradeable, so watch the mid price. personally have traded XLI, XLU, XLF, XLE, XBI, etc. currently have CC positions in XLU in my IRA.

TheInkDon1

**YES**, a man after my own heart! Simple often works better than complicated. You're finding things that are going up. You're getting long with LEAPS Calls as *share substitutes.* "Finding things that are going up," I may've taken a liberty there, because you might be thinking, "This thing *should* go up, based on what it's been through recently." Plus you add the Value tilt, which puts them in your favor. May I make a suggestion? Actually two: **ETFs** Find ones that are going up **right now**. ETFs over stocks because they're less volatile. Say **BA** goes bankrupt overnight. The ETF **XLF** loses about 5%. Say its CEO is found in the Epstein files and the stock drops by 25%. **XLF** loses 1.2%. Ho hum. (**XLF** isn't going up right now, so don't buy it; I'm just saying.) ***Momentum persists.*** Find it and buy it. It sounds like you're a shorter-term trader than most. I am too: 3 months or so is my investing horizon. **EWY** is my current favorite ETF. Here I compare it with MRVL and BA that you mentioned: [EWY vs. MRVL & BA, 3-month](https://imgur.com/a/94b1Qvc) I wish I'd found EWY earlier, but I only got into it on 1/28. But it's done 39% over that 3-month view, and 20% over the past month. And you realize you're getting leverage when buying LEAPS Calls, right? Let me know if you want to chat more about this, but you're definitely on the right track. To give you an idea of how much so, I started a 3-ETF LEAPS Call portfolio with my sister's IRA on 10/22. To date it's up 96%. Almost a doubling in less than 4 months. Take care.

Got_Engineers

You acknowledge the fact that you can’t make money trading paying a fee on option contracts but you also bought puts on a dead option chain. Stick to XLF it has volume

daninsatx

no kidding haha.. index funds the way i really go. this kind of experiment shows that is the way i should go. got lucky with nvidia.. GM, XLF, Fed X and a few more were positive but lost my shirt on Enphase, Paypal, and Square.

Portfoliana

Instead of chasing "hot" sectors, consider looking at where valuations are actually reasonable right now. Healthcare (XLV) and financials (XLF) are trading at much more attractive P/E ratios compared to tech, and both have solid fundamentals for 2026. European defense (like EUAD) has also gotten a lot of attention post-Ukraine, but it's already run up significantly so you'd want to check if valuations still make sense. One thing I'd suggest: rather than just buying sector ETFs and forgetting, track the underlying fundamentals quarterly - revenue growth, margins, P/E trends. It helps you know when a sector is getting overheated vs when it's actually a value opportunity. The difference between "safe" and "actually safe" often comes down to understanding what you own beyond just the sector label.

johns2289

XLF, fuck you too

Locke_____Lamora

Keep these on your watch list. XLI, XLP, XLE, XLK, XLB, XLV. XLF, XLC, XLU. Seems to be going mostly into energy materials healthcare and financials

d33p7r0ubl3

Yeah they’re not really considered a financial. More high beta like you said. I’m surprised they’re even in the XLF. It seems like they’re getting blasted by the drop in crypto. Who knows what effect that will have on earnings. Vlad is a good CEO though so it’s hard to bet against him.

Got_Engineers

My personal theory is that companies that join the S&P 500 get dumped. That’s one aspect. They also were a very strong momentum stock last year. Momentum doesn’t last forever so I think this is just the fallout of that. I have no idea about the axle financials or the company itself. Just technical details like momentum. XLF and financials look to be in a decent spot right now, but Robin Hood isn’t even in the top 10 of XLF. I didn’t look past that so I don’t even know if they’re considered a financial stock. Which means that they are getting dragged down with this blowout of expensive debt ridden tech companies, which is basically Robin Hood still.

mhughes2595

Wow this is scary. You're main problem is that you're all in on several otm options. I would wait for a green day and restructure the entire portfolio. I would Sell everything and start over. I would pick a theme and invest around that. My theme is ai. So I choose a core position like smh and buy a deep itm call leaps and sell a far otm call on the same ticket. Do the same for spy iwm and qqq. The sell side will pay you for chaos while the buy side is your money maker. Do this with all options contracts. Then after you have built your core portfolio of 1 contract each. Pick some other etfs. I like the etf ura. It is a power based etf that will benefit from the ai build out. Then grab one leaps of a metals etf. Metals are needed in ai. I chose xme but gdx is good as well. Now we choose our financers. I don't know much about finances so I went with XLF. After that you have a good portfolio with a nice theme. Now take 150k and put it in sgov. You can use this to buy dips. My choices today were nvidia spreads.

johnb111111

Am I stupid for thinking of doing this? So I’m sure we all know that a lot of etfs are heavy into the big 7 and well the crazy growth that can’t be sustained has me thinking of moving away. I’d rather play it safer for long term growth and spread out to etfs like XLI, XLF, XLE, XLV, VBR, VXUS, and RSP. My goal is long term growth for retirement. Thoughts on this? I’d rather not get fucked when this shit bursts by keeping most of my money in VT or something.

welland_good

Monday and Wednesday option expirations being added for following: GOOG, GOOGL, AMZN, AAPL, META, MSFT, NVDA, TSLA, AVGO, and XLF We’re so fucked

LaconicB

Interesting because many sources list all Mag7 tickers with the two additions. When I look at thinkorswim option chains, I don’t see them on GOOG or XLF but do see them for IBIT. 

Duncan810

utsnik

The Vix crush point is solid. That Wednesday snap-back was pure mechanical squeezing, no fundamentals changed. Also 100% agree the "crisis" was manufactured. Real geopolitical issues don't get solved in 48 hours. They went from "Nuclear Tariff War" to "Peace Deal" in two sessions. Whatever liquidity issue is under the surface, they used Greenland as the cover to flush leverage and reset. I don't think Friday was just exhaustion though. "running out of steam" is usually a slow bleed. Fridays XLF flows were violent (-40% divergence). That looked like a forced liquidation or someone frontrunning the tariff news, not just a trend dying.

PapaCharlie9

Fundamentally sound stocks aren't cheap, unless they are being punished for something short-term. I'm not saying you should give up on your risk management, you got that right. Instead, find a way to trade blue chips with less money. For example, you can get approved to trade vertical spreads. Then you can trade for as low as $50 a spread, though blue chips are more typically between $500 and $50. Until then, the next best thing you can trade are sector funds. They tend to be cheaper than their constituent blue chips, but also have very different risk and volatility profiles. Examples are XLF ($53), XLE ($49), XLB ($49), XLRE ($41), etc. Steer clear of leveraged funds and single-stock funds. They look cheap on paper, but you pay in other ways, particularly if you use CCs with them.

fire_alarmist

Ill do you one better, Im of the opinion that there is a massive liquidity problem under the covers and that it actually went the other way around as a distraction tactic. I think XLF has been fake pumped and propped up since the Oct 17th liquidity crunch that was threatening regional banks/November drop and that fake pump/short squeezing simply ran out of steam and we were continuing on our path down. AFTER that XLF flow had been established, and the bearish pattern had been confirmed, this administration decided to announce the tariffs so that one dimensional thinkers look and see a much more easily resolved problem as the cause of the price action. So by removing the tariffs later, easy to fool people now think the cause of the problem is gone and they trigger another short squeeze event to try to blast us up away from puts to where they can just hold the market again. Its been very effective for them because of the mechanical nature of vix crushes and short squeezes allows them to just invalidate all bearish momentum immediately and with a relatively small investment change the trajectory of the market.

utsnik

One can always question. I thought something very wrong was up with my system as technical indicators and everything was positive. My ML model was also positive. Yet the outflow was huge! Seeing the pictures and the intensity of the tweets and posts (Trump and Vance planting a flag on Greenland) as well as the military threats. They surely made sure that the market was going to tank quite hard. Oh, I also detected some euphoria in a huge amount of calls on Thursday Retail was buying 3 calls for every put on Thursday in XLF, while DIA was almost two to one. Then insiders sold to retail in a huge dump on Friday. A perfect retail trap...

fire_alarmist

Look at XLF and JPM recently lol

fire_alarmist

XLF liquidations happening, but yea go ahead and buy calls.

fire_alarmist

Hey bulls, JPM and XLF dont look like that on days when we rocket up. They look like that on days where a looming liqudity crisis is being priced in LOL

AcademicStandard3701

XLF, and RSP red this pump on spy can only last so long

fire_alarmist

The bank bailouts have already been happening since October btw. Look at JPM and XLF, every time they start to go down, which would confirm the downward spiral and liquidation of the global financial system, they get mysteriously injected with massive amounts of liquidity to break the downward momentum. The world financial system is at stake, and they will just let the bearish patterns form, then short squeeze with printed dollars to never let the momentum build because they literally cant even bail it out this time when it full crashes. That complacency and desire to kick the can down the road is the reason silver/gold will not be going down. They arent going up, everything else is just being raped and pillaged so that the rich/global leaders dont have to deal with the massive shitstorm they created.

Rav_3d

I didn't sell based on the news, but trimmed some positions based on the fact that SPY made a new all-time high and couldn't hold it, while QQQ continues to lag and XLF seems to be breaking down. This may change now that the Greenland news is "not as bad" but it remains to be seen. We could also just have a bull trap that lasts a few days and then the selling resumes. I pay attention to what the market is doing, not the news.

thegr8lexander

If you’re worried about spy being overweighted tech, you could do RSP which is equal weight SP500. I’d also throw in some XLF (SPDR Financials ETFs) XLE (spdr energy)

marcus_media

Here’s a link to my video it’s called the wheel strategy. Other videos explain it better as well https://youtu.be/YlfZTy4M-kU?si=dzZ88DfIGkON6XLF

Pleasant-Monk7

You've got a decent fundamental thesis but the technicals are telling you something different, and that tension is real. The honest answer is that both matter, but for options specifically, timing matters way more than it does for swing trading stocks. A good fundamental idea can still lose money if the chart keeps rolling over before your thesis plays out. That said, if you're only needing XLF to get back to yesterday's price to break even, your risk is defined and the premium is cheap like you said. The bigger question is whether you have the conviction to hold through more downside if it happens, or if you'd panic sell at a loss. One thing that trips up newer options traders is not having a clear exit plan before you enter. Are you holding to expiry? Closing at 50% profit? Cutting at 30% loss? That matters more than the technical vs fundamental debate. Also worth noting - ETFs do move differently than individual stocks, but XLF is pretty liquid so the mechanics are similar. If you want to compare a few different strike prices and expirations to see which gives you the best risk-reward, tools like FunRobin can help you quickly visualize the breakevens and multipliers without getting lost in a full options chain. But the core decision here is really about your conviction and risk tolerance, not the tool.

jarMburger

Assuming you’re buying the call, why $54.5 call? It’s a bit OTM and $1/2 has a bit less liquidity if you sell it when XLF goes up. If you plan on taking assignment then it doesn’t matter anyway. I think it’s an okay relatively conservative play, better if you take it more ITM though.

hgreenblatt

Vix and VVIX waking up finally after months of suppression. XLF nosediving at the same time, Trump seemed to be conceding that the fake pump is over and lamenting the fact that it couldnt go higher yesterday during his Ford Plant speech. This is the continuation of the liquidity crunch that started in October, 5 x rejection of ATH and Nasdaq not being able to get close to previous ATH when the entire run up was based off the AI bubble, like it doesnt get any toppier than this.

I like your thinking. JPM reported today, and 3 other major banks report tomorrow. The market didn't like JPM earnings call today so will see how it responds to the 3 other earnings tomorrow. If positive, I'll enter into 30 DTE XLF calls, otherwise I'll wait.

vash__ts

more broadly, the financial sector, e.g. and ETF like XLF is down about 2% based on recent tump tweets

REEMFMetalHead

Yeah, SPY is trying to roll over . . . XLF is down 1.74% . . . conditions in general are about to get kind of crappy for a while, I think. I'm seeing that on my portfolio today. Not sure about you guys.

I’m currently doing two-year dated calls on XBI and XLF and selling CCs on them.

charliemike

Right now, I'm sitting on cash. The market is just not paying for downside protection right now for Low IV stocks and ETFs. A month ago, I got pretty good money for EEM and XLF (just over 1% for <30DTE) and now I would be lucky to get a quarter of what I got in late November. So it's not worth tying up my money in something that's paying me like 6% annualized. I'm not sophisticated enough yet to start doing bull call spreads or calendar spreads or whatever. So I do paper trades on higher IV stocks and ETFs and try to learn from what they do in the meantime.
