They aren't calling the bluff of next week. 50 bp is confirmed. The 2 year is calling the bluff of subsequent increases, which the FED has stated are coming.

I bought a couple 395 calls for tomorrow
Yeah the market has really been thumbing its nose at Powell lately.Bonfire1996 said:

I guess I'm gonna join carebear's team for a while because i don't think we see 400 again soon, but i do think we tag that 395ish level again tomorrow, at which point I'll unload these calls and see if puts make sense

Lol I'm kinda in the 400 camp before more pain. It just seems like a big move without some correction.
I actually closed a 390P today that wasn't set to expire until 12/30. Took a small loss on it but didn't feel I had a good position on the trade and made back quite a bit on it over last few days. I'm sure that trade will end up being fine but I did not like carrying big option trades overnight and this was certainly a big trade for me. It was hard to watch a good trade go deep red, and stomaching a big loss waiting for the turndown that ultimately did was just stressful.
I picked up the short position the day or two before the Powell rally last week and I didn't close it when it rallied up (dumb move!).
So again, a wise lesson learned with almost no skin off my back is a lesson worth learning. I didn't blow up my account and am happy for that.

So if the 2 yr yield is gonna drop (and looks to have already peaked), are there any leveraged ETF's to trade to gain exposure to the short term bond?
It looks like it's in a big H&S pattern now with the neckline around 4.25. A break below there and it could drop pretty aggressively with significant move in bond price.

They have excellent 'articles'.
I was in this a while back but got tired of waiting on that rounded bottom, so I pulled out.
This one is up and down so I keep going back and forth, and usually wind up caught in the middle. It can lead to a wild ride, but I'm normally in and out in a few minutes.

This may be the first zombie company to die. It's getting close. Down about 98.5% from ATH.
It's just a gimck company, right? Isn't this the company that has "vending" machines? What kind of business plan is that?
BOIL gap up.
ASO with a solid beat and is up over 8%!

Dammit. I had orders in for expiring 392p for .55 and they didn't fill and i didn't chase
DNN is looking temping.
Sold some Apple stock and have some money to play with.
Have been eyeballing DNN and Gold for some time. I'm a newbie and should know more than I do right now but are those two good long term holds?

I usually buy DNN around $1 and then sell at 1.25. Rinse and repeat.

Uranium is a gamble so I wouldn't recommend DNN as a longterm hold.TheVarian said:

Gold could be a good one, especially if the fed pivots next year, but is also a gamble.
IMO, good longterm buys today are PARA, VZ, GOOGL, BRKB, MO.
Oh and have you heard of WWR. At $1.02 per share, it's a pretty cheap entry into our cult.
