Opening (IRA): BITO July 19th 30 Covered Call... for a 26.12 debit. Comments: Re-upping after closing out my longer-dated covered call (which I had rolled all the way out to December). Selling the -30 delta call against long stock here. As before, will look to roll out the short call for duration at 50% max, collect the monthly dividend along the way ... . I'll also look at selling short put, assuming I can get in on weakness and with a resulting break even better than what I currently have on.Longby NaughtyPines0
Silver is in short term consolidation before breaking $30It doesn't matter what short term paper contracts do, or taking profits - the East is importing gold and silver at a beguiling rate that won't allow for much shenanigans for the metals market. I was however surprised to see the price bounce exactly off the top of the box. I see silver going down to $24 area, shake out some hands, and rocket up past $30 after options expiration date. I see a smaller consolidation week in May before going even higher. I HIGHLY recommend Silver Miners right now. They saw some life this week and last - and since they usually lag, I can see them being down for the next two weeks before going up themselves. I like AMEX:SIL , AMEX:SILJ , and NUGT for indices, and NYSE:NEM for the best miner in the world for one simple reason - AMERICA will be the LAST country to nationalize their natural resources in a communistic reaction to the skyrocketing dollar. I expect that to happen starting next year. Longby EmptyEternityUpdated 1113
Opened (IRA): BITO April 19th 31 Covered Call... for a 27.54 debit. Comments: High IVR/IV at 97.9/81.9% and a monthly dividend to take advantage of. However, the monthly dividend has varied widely -- with the last two distributions paying .36 (February 8th) and .73 (March 8th) with an annual dividend of 8.72 (.73 average monthly) (31.7% annualized as a function of current price). I'm primarily looking to grab the April monthly here; anything additional above my break even will be gravy ... . In any event, the metrics: BPE/Break Even/Cost Basis in Shares: 27.54 Max Profit (ex. dividend): 3.46 ($346) ROC at Max: 12.56%Longby NaughtyPinesUpdated 112
3rd try at breaking through long-term resistanceGold is showing a classic long-term cup and handle period. Spent about 7 years in the "cup" (long shakeout period from the bubble that had formed after the last financial crisis followed by an eventual rally to previous all-time high). It has spent over 2 years now in the "handle" (period of consolidation giving the appearance that price can't break through the previous all-time high). After a recent shakeout and false breakdown from the handle pattern, it looks like it wants to test the all-time high again and this time there's a major catalyst (flight to safety due to all the uncertainty recently with the banks and the potential for yet another financial crisis). Due to that, I don't think you need to wait for a breakout of the all-time highs around $195 in GLD but that would be a safer entry (a monthly close above that level). Of course another shakeout from that level could follow because if I have picked up on this potential trade, then many others likely have also. Anyway, I am just speculating and not a financial advisor, if you decide to follow this please trade at your own risk and diversify (this trade won't break the bank for me personally if it doesn't work out and it shouldn't for you either).Longby PatientContrarianUpdated 1

Opening (IRA): SMH July 19th 205/215/275/285 IC... for a 2.17 credit. Comments: An additive delta adjustment to the current SMH IC I have on. (See Post Below). With the original setup's short call aspect converging on -25 delta and the short put converging on +10, selling a skewed IC with the oppositionally delta'd short call/short put (i.e., at the +25 short put and the -10 delta short call) to bring back the position back to net delta flat with 63 days until expiry. 4.40 total credits collected with a current delta/theta of 1.02/5.81. by NaughtyPines0
Opening (IRA): BITO June 21st 24 Short Put... for a 1.82 credit. Comments: Adding a short put on weakness here to my covered call, which I'm sticking in with to grab the monthly divvy. I'm okay with being assigned additional shares, since the break even of the June 24 is below the cost basis of what I currently have on. Otherwise, I'm perfectly fine with doing my usual take profit at 50% of max.

Clear blue SPYsMy play on words... lol. I'm thinking with NVDA earnings next week we could go even higher. The last time SPY flew extra high was on NVDA earnings last quarter.

TBT / TLT T Bill Inverse TreasuriesOn this daily chart of the ratio of TBT ( Treasury Bills Bearish ) to TLT ( the inverse Bullish) over time. This serves to accentuate shifts in prices from factors affecting them both but with opposite effects. Federal actions or even reports of economic data are some of those factors. This chart shows that about November 1st, TBT ad topped out and fell. They are inverses of one another . What makes one go down will make the other go up and viceversa. By February 1, TBT bottomed out and the ratio reversed. The cycle took 3 months. On a lower time frame, cycling would be more frequent. At present, it would appear to be time to sell TLT and / or buy TBT What applies to the TBT /TLT ratio would also relate to TMV / TMF as a ratio. Longby AwesomeAvaniUpdated 2
TBT Inverse Treasuries ( Long Dates ) LONGTBT is shown here on a weekly chart. It transitioned froma downtrend into the present trend up two years ago with the initiation of the rate hikes to cut down inflation by hitting its knees. Inflation was the direct result of the money printing and stimulus as part of the federal response to the complications of covid and lockdowns. Price is now ascending in a broadening channel ( a megaphone pattern) reflecting increasing volatility as federal action or inaction gets priced into buying decisions at treasury auctions. As for me, i will continue to build a TBT position until it is obvious that the fed has launched an active agenda of rate cuts which will fortify T-bill prices and make TLT the new runner.Longby AwesomeAvaniUpdated 2
TBT is a buy rate cuts likely are stalled LONGTBT is an inverse 20 year Treasury Bill ETF. At present, the Iran Israeli conflict threatens a regional conflict to include the Red Sea and the Easter Mediterranean where oil tankers must navigate to move oil from producer to consumer. Oil price escalation could go hand and hand with geopolitical escalations. Oil and its derivatives are a primary driver of inflation in the US. Inflation has been sticky and forcing the fed's ambitions to cut rate to be paused. The Middle East escalation may make matters worse overall. Federal spending ( aid to Israel for instance) is also a driver of inflation. The budget fight in DC is front and center. I see this as good cause, to continue to take adds to my TBT position whenever I can find a dip worth the discount as a further hedge against a correction in the equities markets which could come on the horizon. Granted a dip of 2-3% from the ATHs is not much but when it hits 10% or more and the VIX/UXXY continue to rise, there will be impetus in a hurry to hedge positions or close them with more urgency. For for TBT, I believe that more is better.Longby AwesomeAvaniUpdated 2
bull trap Stocks Fall Back on Concern Interest Rates to StayBull Trap: Stocks Fall Back on Concern Interest Rates to Stay Higher for Longer A bull trap occurs when a stock shows a false signal of reversal during a downtrend, luring investors into thinking the price will continue to rise, only for it to resume its decline. Recently, many investors have experienced bull traps, driven by the ongoing concern that interest rates will remain elevated for a longer period. The Setup of the Bull Trap During a period of market volatility, certain stocks showed promising upward movements, leading to a sense of optimism among traders. These movements suggested that the market had bottomed out and was ready for a rally. However, this optimism was short-lived as the broader economic indicators continued to signal potential headwinds. Interest Rates and Market Sentiment The primary factor contributing to the bull trap scenario has been the persistent concern that central banks will keep interest rates higher for an extended period. This policy stance is intended to combat inflation, but it also puts pressure on borrowing costs for businesses and consumers, leading to a cautious outlook on economic growth. Investor Reactions Investors, initially buoyed by the upward price action, began to buy into the market, thinking that the worst was over. This buying activity pushed prices up temporarily, creating the illusion of a market recovery. However, as the reality of higher interest rates set in, the market sentiment shifted back to bearishness, trapping those who had bought in during the false rally. Lessons from the Bull Trap Stay Informed: Keep up with macroeconomic indicators and central bank policies. Technical Analysis: Use technical analysis tools to identify potential bull traps. Diversification: Diversify your investments to mitigate the impact of market volatility. Risk Management: Implement stop-loss orders to protect your investments from significant downturns. Conclusion Bull traps serve as a reminder of the importance of thorough analysis and cautious investing. The recent market conditions, influenced by concerns over prolonged higher interest rates, highlight the need for investors to remain vigilant and avoid getting caught in false signals. By understanding the factors at play and implementing sound investment strategies, investors can better navigate the complexities of the market. Shortby Ozy_Target1
$SPY May 17, 2024AMEX:SPY May 17, 2024 15 Minutes. AMEX:SPY managed to trade between 521*532 and 527-528 yesterday. The current uptrend is stalled and getting ready for the next up move towards 534-535 provide it holds 525 levels. For the day holding 527.5 uptrend is intact. At the moment AMEX:SPY below 9,21 and 50 moving averages in 15 minutes. Hence possible target is 526.5 to 527 as 100 averages is rising upwards. In 60 Minutes, chart we are having 527 levels as 21 averages. So, for the day I will buy above 530.9 for 531.5+ trailing previous bar once crossed.

$SPY Forecast For Years To Comeplease dont take my opinion as financial advice i'm just a 17 year old with some speculations. with that being said let me explain myself. With the fed pausing still i believe we will keep rallying till we see our first cut once we get that first cut it'll be the market top. The fed has been sitting on their hands for way too long and with inflation sneaking back up i dont see it getting better until its too late. stuff will start breaking soon and it'll just put us more and more into a downward spiral. going into 2025 we will be in a bear market and throughout 2025 we will be trying to fight a spike of inflation which will scare the market and bring us down to 2022 highs and if shit hits the fan we will continue to see downside going into 2026. the battle against inflation isnt a quick fix and this will take time (a couple years) we will eventually recover but it wont be till we see the fed's inflation goal of 2% for a couple months of consistency that'll be our green light for ATH. I will be scaling into end of year shorts starting at $550, $560, and final $570 im not missing this opportunity with the stock market this overbought knowing that the dot plot forecasts higher inflation to come next year. Taking profits on the way down as more data comes out. Thank you for your time and i will be open to hearing others opinion. Shortby bullishbrowsingUpdated 2
