Up 2.65% PM here.

If on open if it pushes with any momentum into 11.42 range (probably good resistance here), I think I will trim my 5/21 10c.

From what I see it needs $10.97 first then $11.42 to get to $12.52. Some walls in between here and $12.52 IMO.

Cloud computing comment for you guys: how you think about cloud is going to change with meaningful adoption of edge computing for low latency AI/ML, with an emphasis on computer vision. Amazon is not guaranteed to dominate. Pay close attention to Azure (MSFT) and GCP (GOOGL).



AWS is already way ahead of others on edge, and it's not even close. Others will get their piece of the pie, but not sure why you're saying they aren't guaranteed to dominate when they gave such a large head start


The only thing they have a major head start on is arrogance!

Buy write on MVIS right now makes some sense........buy shares, sell May $17c for $4 or so

I saw this just before close Friday. Put order together and then got distracted by work and then kid. Never placed. Now look at it this morning!! Sums up a good bit of my trading experience since August.

Guess I could still do similar at this level but it still wouldn't be as good downside protection
The options will probably be juiced this morning, so you still may be able to get $5 or $6 for a 20c right now

I may have missed this (should have entered last week) but if I see any open pullback to $10.16 (Friday close) I will try and enter May 11c. Not big but a play anyway.

Up about 5% PM

Looks like it is about to make a little squeeze up again on a daily. Someone bought 3k May 11c last Thursday morning.

Monday Macros

Wednesday Key Day...Fed Meeting and Biden Cap Gains Double...10 Yr 1.60

Wednesday is the day... We get the results of the FOMC meeting in the afternoon and then get the Biden State of the Union massive capital gains increase in the evening... This should start the new trend in rates and potentially in equities... Will the reflation trade start in earnest again, after the one month hiatus, where 10 years went from 1.75 to 1.55, or will we get another run at 1.50 10 years to try and break lower in rates?... Meanwhile we get the old liberal "soak the rich" move Wednesday night... Biden has already let Bloomberg know that he is going for the biggest capital gains for the wealthy. It won't work... Do you really think the wealthiest of the country, those making 1-5 mm a year will stand still as the government comes after them?... After all only 23% of the equity or capital gains are in taxable accounts?... We think a compromise will be made somewhere in the 28-30% range...we will see... Meanwhile many point out that capital gains historically do not lead to lower equity prices... We think the jury is out on that one, but the dislocation from the Faang and Bitcoin, where massive capital gains lie, will be disrupted...

Fed and inflation... The Fed did a good job coming out of the April meeting convincing the bond crowd that inflation will be transitory,,, so far we have had one great month of numbers, but shorts in treasuries covered and we got back 20-25 basis of 10 year yields increases, from 1.77 to 1.51,,, but could not break that number . The question one has to ask is whether one believes inflation is transitory or not...Powell and Clarida believe it is, Kaplan, based on his speeches ,does not... We do not... Great economic numbers are just starting... Huge increases in the average price of homes, cost of homes, lumber, supply chain time frames, copper and even wage gains are just starting... We think inflation will reach the 3% and higher level, which should start to concern the Fed at the June meeting...tapering is coming, especially in the mortgage space, where the Fed roll offs and buybacks are overwhelming the markets. As for Labor markets, the Atlanta Fed median wage growth was up 3.4% in February, while this months beige book showed shortages of drivers, , low wage and skilled workers . Multiple stories of the difficulty of getting workers everywhere. The Fed won't change policy at this meeting but with the economy reopening, jobs returning , activity booming and inflation climbing, it is only a matter of time before tapering gets seriously discussed.

Rates... Fed meetings are focal points for trend changes... We see it no differently Wednesday, even with the Biden attack on capital gains... What we do not know is whether the reflation trade is starting back this week or may wait until the approach of the June meeting 10 years have minor support at 1.62, then bigger support at 1.68... 1.75 and then 1.875, on the way to 2%... It will happen this quarter but still not certain enough to say it will start again in earnest this week... Key levels for 5 years are .85 and .92, on the way to 1%... .78 going the other way to .65... Long bonds 2.21 is key to break, 2.29 and 2.41 on the way to 2.625,,, 2.125 the other way... Still think higher rates

High Yield and Spacs correlation... High yield spreads continue to set record tights and record low yields... We think that is about to change... Many continue to prefer going down in credit to pick up yield rather than duration... We tend to agree... But the Spac trade, raising equity for low rated junk companies, has lead the surge in the tightening of HY as companies use the cheap Spac equity to buy back the expensive HY bonds... The Spac era is slowing, maybe even the beginning of the end... Spac issuance this year is a pittance of last year and even show further signs of slowing... With this back stop decreasing it is only a matter of time before we see widening of credit spreads... Not today, but it is coming.

Equities... No strong opinion based on Capital Gains changes , but flows are starting to show some weakness... Cash levels of big money manager are down to 4% according to BofA,, and bulls are up to 67% according to the cover of this weeks Barron's... Where there is still lots of cash looking for entry points is in Private equity, where we see 1.6 trillion needed to put to work....

copper will be 5.5 by end of year. Being a large electrical contractor that buys 10+ millions of dollars and I am in charge of buying, i feel my educated guess will be on point based on conversations with Southwire/Encore/financial institutions where we buy copper futures also.

I see that TTM squeeze. It's popped pretty both times this crossed over. I'll join. Maybe not exactly the same strike and date, but something similar.

Agreed.

I've run a large electrical distributor for the past 6 years and worked for them for 15. This is unprecedented.

What's funny is I know we have posters on here from Encore and SW. I'll let them out themselves if they choose. You named two of the majors.

With this in mind, is there an ETF for copper similar to what SLV is for silver?

you can get fiberglass conduit cheaper than pvc now. look like a rock star for a VE option. Also you should change all GRC to fiberglass anyway. way cheaper and safer.

Roku may be losing YouTube TV.

Dear Roku Customer,

We are sending this email to update you on the possibility that Google may take away your access to the YouTube TV channel on Roku. Recent negotiations with Google to carry YouTube TV have broken down because Roku cannot accept Google's unfair terms as we believe they could harm our users.

Ensuring a great streaming experience at an exceptional value is the core of our business. We will always stand up for our users, which is why we cannot accept Google's unfair and anticompetitive requirements to manipulate your search results, impact the usage of your data and ultimately cost you more.



While we are deeply disappointed in Google's decision to use their monopoly power to try and force terms that will directly harm streamers, we remain committed to reaching an agreement with Google that preserves your access to YouTube TV, protects your data and ensures a level playing field for companies to compete. We encourage you to contact Google and urge them to reach an agreement to continue offering YouTube TV on Roku and to follow standard industry practices pledging not to require access to sensitive search data or to manipulate your search results.

Thank you,

Roku
It is starting.

This was inevitable with the "cord cutting" (which it is not even cord cutting). Laughable that people actually thought these companies would just let this revenue go away and say "awe shucks".

The bolded part is pretty interesting for them to come straight out and say that. I think there are a lot of sheep out there that have no clue about Google manipulating search results.

Same premise. How can they maximize revenue with the content they control.

They just want to do it with search data and are trying to strong arm ROKU since their customer have high adoption of youtube tv.

Thoughts on doing a vertical for MVIS. They obviously spiked the other day on the news of a new contract and a month ago, they said they anticipated "the A-Sample hardware and benchmarked data, for demonstration to interested parties, will be available in the April 2021 timeframe". You can get the 5/21 15/30 vertical for under $2 right now. Doesn't take a huge run up to to be in the money and if it really runs, you have a lot of room for it.
Anyone follow me on this? It was from April 9th. I bought the calls and anticipated selling some covered calls when it ran up some so I could get in for less than $2 each instead of doing a vertical right away. Instead it dropped and I then averaged down a week and a half ago. I regrettably went net free last week selling 60% of my calls instead of holding for a little longer or selling come covered calls today.

Any suggestions for an exit strategy on my remaining 5/21 $15 calls? Not sure how much more run MVIS has in her, but I'm guessing she has a chance to run to the previous high of $24.18.
