Next CPI is July 13 where we see if June expectations came down. If we are near 3500 by then I'm going full bore on risk asset calls out to Q1 2023.

I'm covering my SEAS short this week.
If the rest of the country is like my neighborhood in Austin, I think rent and housing will be down on the next CPI. My neighbor lost his renters when he tried to hike their rent 30%. He tried to find new tenets for 6 weeks before giving up and listing it for sale. Sat on the market for a month and now he's given up and it's just sitting empty.

Homes in my neighborhood were being bought same day they were listed last year and prices were up 50% over the previous year. Now there's 5 vacant houses in a neighborhood with 74 homes.

Forgot tomorrow was OPEX. I'll be around in the morning just in case we get fireworks. I read that there's over $3T in options expiring tomorrow.

This article and the related report seem to think Austin isn't a bubble city. Differing opinions always make these bubbles hard to identify.

Yes, I've read a few articles making similar statements and my friend in commercial real estate tells me there's a large backlog of permits for more companies to move their offices here. We could be moving towards a San Francisco situation with all the tech companies coming here.

But I think there will be a drop in home prices or they'll be flat for a few years. There's a limited number of home buyers with median home prices at $550k, mortgage rates at 6%, and property taxes north of 3%. That's a mortgage payment of $4.5k assuming 20% down. People won't be buying their first home until they're 40 at these prices.

Or, below so you don't have to click.

Quote:

The IEA issued a warning for global oil markets Wednesday, saying supply challenges will persist.

Three million barrels per day of Russian crude will disappear as sanctions set in, the IEA predicts.

"Severely restricted refining capacity is causing markets to price in long-term supply deficits in key refined products," the report said.

The current turmoil across energy markets is set to worsen in 2023, as OPEC+ will face severe supply challenges while fuel prices will stay high, the International Energy Agency warned in its first forecast for next year.

The Paris-based think tank said Wednesday that global oil supplies will "struggle" to keep up with rising demand.

In particular, it highlighted that Russian barrels will disappear from this year's market at a rate of 3 million barrels per day as more sanctions set in. That result in overall OPEC+ production falling by 520,000 barrels per day next year.

"OPEC+ would have to further tap into its dwindling capacity cushion, reducing it to historic lows," the IEA said in its report.

Over recent months, oil prices have skyrocketed thanks to dwindling stockpiles and repercussions from Russia's invasion of Ukraine. In March, the price of Brent crude briefly hit $139 a barrel. It's hovering near $120 Wednesday.

US gas prices, too, have surged, recently breaking the $5-a-gallon threshold for the first time ever. And the IEA warned prices will stay high for a while as refineries live "hand-to-mouth" amid low crude and product inventories.

"Severely restricted refining capacity is causing markets to price in long-term supply deficits in key refined products," the agency said. "This translates into a structurally elevated product price outlook."

Yeah, only 3.4 trillion in options expiring tomorrow before a three day weekend. Tomorrow will likely be very trappy.

Good thought here. If any move up I'm thinking slapped back down. I'm still eyeballing 345-354...ish to dig in.

Wondering If 24' LEAPS these days may be the play.

My advice is to not get too focused on specific numbers and levels and run the risk of not participating in a reversal because it didn't hit your targeted level. I've done that in the past and it hurts. The markets are so oversold and great companies are on sale. You might consider nibbling at leaders that you believe at a discount. You'd still have some dry powder and you'll never pick the bottom but it's better than not participate because you're waiting to fire all cannons at a certain level. Trust me, the pain of riding the market down is only compounded if you're all in cash and at least not in the reversal.

Two things that you should watch is next month's CPI. If it shows a decrease then the market will think inflation may have topped out, which would be a positive. Also, watch price action of stocks when earnings season ramps up in July. If some big names miss estimates, or even come in line, and have weak guidance but don't get crushed then that's an indication that they've bottomed or damn close.



Ok guys, if I'm absent for a few days, I'll be back.

I've been nibbling on LEAPS during this downdraft on some of the leaders. Not saying we're right, but we are on the same page.

Might be onto something. I'd probably be close to ATM or so. Not too far OTM if above.

One month ago I sold XOM 1/19/24 $90 CC's @ $15. During the XOM run a few days ago I know they got as high as $21, or maybe higher but I didn't check the contract high. They are back to just above $15. I thought about buying them back and laying them off in another run up. Maybe I'll just let these rest and sell more later.

My other alternative is to go out to July 1st and ladder XOM CC's for 4 weeks and just repeat the process as one week rolls off. I think I could conservatively average $1 to $1.50 and just keep this going for a few months.

My XOM position has a lot of wind at its back in today's environment and I want to extract as much as possible before exiting a portion later this year or next.

If my BTI would hit $51, I would dance and just hang out on the Politics Board to jack with the Libs. I might even buy stars, but I think I am inviting a ban if I buy stars..

Guys, I didn't go anywhere, I'm just not actively trading for a few months. I am literally trying to not sit in front of a computer all day so that I can travel, actually use my swimming pool, and just have less stress.

This is a high volatility time and I'm fine with missing it.

This is not a horrible place to add some longs for long term
