I am trading against it....I have a short portfolio, well a portfolio that's mostly shorts ...I have another that's a mix of shorts and longs 50/50 and my long portfolio that's about 80% long. Im always short no matter what...The only 100% long portfolio i have is my retirement. So yes I hedge against that ...
Sold a 10 put expiring today on TSLL agter seeing it drop yesterday on the tsla downfall....that was practically free money.....still bearish as helll on tsla though.
Free money Friday. Once job numbers come out it won't matter what they are markets will still rise. Bad or good. Markets don't care. As you can see premarket nasdaq in rally mode again.
Man, you really do flip flop every hour lol. I told you this was getting a V. You said expect a wild Friday. All I see is the VIX getting crushed again.
A little more on the Bond Market and the downgrade of US Treasuries. Leading up to the 2009 Real estate collapse, investment banks created and sold "subprime Debt" Worthless bonds that were tied to real estate mortgages that were never qualified or verified..yet they were rated Triple-A highest rating. The mortgages were not qualified, the houses were massively over built and the borrowers werent even given credit score checks or job verification. So the scam collapsed and the junk bonds had to be bought by the Fed to stop the USA going into bankruptcy. 4000 banks collapsed during that time. There was $2 trillion worth of SubPrime Bonds that had to be bought by the Fed in just a 8 month time frame. So..what happens to a nations bond market and to its general economic system when it is forced to buy trillions and trillions of junk debt. Well..its general bond market and treasury market becomes basically Junk. And ever since 2009, the USA has had to print and issue more and more debt just to stay afloat. More and more Fiat USD. And they had to artificially keep interest rates very very low. And now..the bond market cant take the debt load any longer. USD fiat can no longer be printed. Interest rates will never go back down. Trump was supposed to have started working on this..but his big beautiful bill ignored all of these problems. And his dementia is starting to worsen daily. However..V-shape is telling us to "KEEP BUYING THE DIP" ..MARKET CAN NEVER GO DOWN lmao..your a fcking retard of the highest order here
It's not fucking fiat. I tried to read and I had to stop there. What other choice is there? US is the leader and that is never changing in our lifetime no matter what BS you throw at me. Where else are you going to go. Don't tell me Ponzi coin lol. Nobody cares about the Moody's downgrade means nothing. The thing you are missing is the liquidity/ money printing. It all ends up in the stock market. Do you realize how many people are getting rich. People are now lining up to buy every dip, knowing it's never going to go down. You can chase any hot stock like CRWV, CVNA and even an IPO today like CRCL, knowing it's going to moon. Do you even watch the market? You need to live in reality, not fantasy. The market CAN"T go down being every single week people take money from their pay check and put it into the market. People's retirement is in the market. There is too much liquidity. You know how damn impossible it is more the market to actually stay down. So the 10 YR hits 5%. No one cares. It happened already of the fall of '23 and we survived and stocks ripped once it lowered which it will anyways at some point. You could have made the same post any of the past 6 weeks and it will be as wrong. You probably thought the same thing every step of the way with this V. No matter what you Post QQQ is heading to 550 this month. Again, the only possibility is something unforeseen that is not priced in to the current market happens, but at best you are getting like 3 weeks and the V will happen again. You have to be delusional to think we are ever seeing any real bear market that will not result in an immediate V a few months later.
After the GFC collapse US chose money printing & ZIRP. Europe chose austerity & negative interest rates. US outgrew Europe by a 5-6 margin in that time. Part of that is US has a culture of risk taking that doesn't really exist in the dominant economies of Europe (Germany & France). Now Europe wants to go the route of fiscal spending aka money printing and now their markets are booming. The market participants love free money. Add in Trump's craziness and you have fund flows going back to Europe & Asia. I mean South Korea's newly elected leader pledged to double the KOSPI. He sounds like Reagan with that kind of declaration. The interesting thing about money flow is that it takes a lot of money to move the US market 1% but very little to move the Polish or Korean markets 1%. That's why there is a global boom in equities.
So you hedge out a big portion of your potential profits that is supposedly free money. Makes zero sense. I'm up 9.6% account wide this week. I don't call it free money there is no such thing.
