I bought shares last week, and yeah, Friday was rough no doubt. I just exited a couple of minutes ago. But it's still running.

And a reminder, when NVDA goes 10:1 Monday, if you're holding a 1190p option with a date PAST the split, you'll then have 10-119p's at a 1/10 the price.

If Lotto Friday sees NVDA run up, I may investigate such a play.

Just sold a covered call out to 7/19. Premiums are chubby and I'd be happy to sell my shares for $1,350 ($135 post split) in 6 weeks. I think there will be an influx of buyers of both the stock and options after the split but $1,350 seems too good to be true for the next few months.

June 28 2007: 4:20 PM EDT

NEW YORK (CNNMoney.com) -- The Federal Reserve left a key short-term interest rate unchanged Thursday and indicated it was still worried about inflation, a sign the central bank will leave rates alone for a while instead of cutting them despite concerns about a sluggish economy.

In its widely watched statement, the Fed eliminated its characterization of core inflation as being "elevated," saying that "readings on core inflation have improved modestly in recent months."

But the Fed added that "a sustained moderation in inflation pressures has yet to be convincingly demonstrated."
That is in June of 2007. They cut a couple months later after the mortgage crisis really started to take off.

I'm sorry yall. I'm not trying to be doom and gloom. But when I see parallels, I can't but help but show my work. Take it as you will. History doesn't have to repeat.

Here's where everything was in June of 2007

Red&White - 2 year yield
Orange - 10 year yield
Blue - Fed Funds rate
Yellow - SPX

Fed has paused for a year before dropping. They got the fed funds rate restrictively above market rates and left it there for a year. But once the 2 and 10 started to selloff, and cracks starting showing, the had no choice but to cut. Green arrow marks where SPX was in June of 2007.



Fast forward to today. Look somewhat similar? FED has been paused almost a whole year. June meeting approaching. Will they stayed paused? 2 and 10 are showing signs of potentially dropping, exact same as 2007 except this time the 2 hasn't gotten under the 10 before they started dropping.



Now let's go back to 2007..



Also happens to be an election year.

I'm of two minds currently.

Half of my brain wants to sell everything.

The other half wants to dump in all my cash.

Getting harder and harder to sit on my hands these days...ugh.

Interesting charts H-A.

Ewww....that current 10 and 2 have been inverted for quite awhile. Is there any correlation between how long the inversion lasts and how long the market stays in a corrective posture?

Hasn't happened to this extent for a very long time. Last time was August 1978 through April 1980. They un-inverted in April 1980, then inverted again in September 1980 and stayed that way until October 81.

I need the Morpheus (matrix) gif here… "What if I told you interest rates are going to be cut soon!" Maybe the markets know cuts are coming
You'd be wrong. The markets and it's participants aren't even as accurate as weathermen. That's why the majority of money managers rarely beat the S&P. They've been predicting cuts for how long now? If you told them in January that the best we would get is a single cut in December, how many of them would have predicted 5300?

I actually think there is a setup in place, in both bonds and yields, for rates to come down a bit. But even with my methods of measuring sentiment, I am wrong a lot. Nothing is baked in and nothing is a given. And nobody is omniscient.


even so, I was not ballsy enough to go long SPY calls a week or so ago.

Something I'm watching. Early in 2020, I got double weekly RSI sell signals. The market then made two higher highs before COVID catalyzed a massive selloff.

February 2024 shows similar double weekly sell signals. We now have a 2nd higher high following.

Definitely not saying history will repeat, but history does tend to rhyme. And I'm still very very cautious and risk adverse.




I think we all know what's gonna catalyze this sucker this go around

Buffett's latest trade: T-Bills. Financial reporters say he is simply stockpiling liquidity for his next buy. I call bullshlt. Well, at least half bullshlt.

Depending on maturity dates, the T Bills he is buying have less current interest than many money market vehicles. By taking on duration risk, and taking less interest income, Buffett is signaling something else. A top in treasury rates?

If rates drop, his treasuries become very valuable. If he bought 5-10 year durations, they become extremely valuable.

He might think with rates set to drop in the next 6 months, that high interest treasuries offer the best potential, short term return on investment, thereby increasing the capital he can then deploy when equity prices drop.

Only the shortest maturity ones. Longer maturities are less than 5.

Watching HOOD to see if it holds 22, and 22.40 is SUPER important, bullish if so
LOGI smells like a fade on no news, not sure the play, may ignore for now
CVNA if holds above 107.50, bullish -- UPDATE: CVNA is leaving the station, dang.

These are not entries or exits, only areas of interest. Things change fast and so are my ins/outs.

Just need a mildly green day today to become a [half-]millionaire for the first time. A personal milestone that felt years away just a year ago.

Not a particularly important number for me, and still a ways away from where I want to be, but still feels good after seeing my portfolio move sideways for what felt like years.
