I love doing this at these big volume days because either it will rebound well or fail. I don't want to be a bag holder long on failing stocks, so use a 50% covered call approach and use the premium from the covered calls to buy your put side protection on all 100% of a stock in a downtrend. If it keeps going down the premium on the calls will be earned into your account. The $42 puts mean you can't lose more than the small difference between premium call earned and cost of in the money puts.
If brave you can buy the shares here and wait to see if a rebound into last hour but the strategy DEMANDS you do not go into tomorrow without cover.$JD....Bear market keep it tight and secure trade.

On WWR, the only thing making me skeptical is how hard it was to get financing for them. They are going to accept debt terms now when they are desperate and when capital is tight. They announced their initial feasibility study and received board approval to begin construction in late 2021. You'd think there would be some interest. WWR's market cap has traded below cash value for about a year.
I need to educate myself on Inflation Reduction Act. I heard few people hyping it during CERA week and WWR citing it in their press release.

What triggered the sell off today. The Silicon Valley Bank news came out last night and futures opened green.

You are basically using a heavy downtrend period that's already occurring to either accelerate or find support, which is why you collar with a shorter term put protection. I'm this instance of JD drops to say $37 on trend the next week I'll cash in the puts and reposition to a net neutral strike to the then current price. So $5 from entry on stocks under $50 I do that and the sooner that happens the better for premium gain.
Pretty good inverse pattern playing out longer timeframe. The H&S can play out on daily and only helps the symmetry on the weekly inverse pattern.oldarmy1 said:
I know I keep harping on the H&S pattern but Bear markets ALWAYS end with a crescendo. We might hold this H&S like last time and rally back upward. But don't be thinking long-term entries right now, absent a good strategy. It WILL eventually see new lows if it follows every bear market since the 70's. That's why these patterns are great to keep in your view.
And frankly we want that because otherwise we will become locked into a long-term sideways pattern that is much more difficult for retirement investors.Keeping it simple $SPX chart. No indicators, just candles. The last H&S failed to breakdown and lead to a nice move upward. See the current repeat sideways movement. HOWEVER, note the quick descent of last 3 days. That is a higher % likely failure technical. Still nothing yet pic.twitter.com/kDiW7aHGYV

Keep an eye on GTII. I don't know the finer details other than the CEO has attorney's (Wes Christian) going after naked Short sellers. Rumblings that this action could sink a few HF's. If someone knows the details please post.ryanhnc10 said:Dan Scott said:

Wes Christian is the attorney that is being requested by SAVA shareholders to SAVA leadership to go after SAVA naked Short sellers.
Also, the Citadel allegedly owns 5.5% of Silvergate (SI)
FWIW
Futures down 26. That confirms the H&S. I knew they would use the overnight to do it.

There was a run on SVB (Silicon Valley bank) today. It will probably continue tomorrow as the wire transfers will be initiated tomorrow. This bank holds most of the funds for venture capital funded start ups.
I wouldn't think this would impact the wider economy though. Just the companies banking with SVB and their investors. Unless people believe it's a sign other banks are in trouble too.
Sounds like a recession is coming.
Yesterday few traders traded $SIVB.
— unusual_whales (@unusual_whales) March 10, 2023
But on March 7th a trader traded $SIVB $200 P 3/17/2023, the only volume all at ask.
They turned $0.13 per contract into $39.10 today at open.
They turned ~$4000 into ~$1,212,100.

I've never heard of SIVB before today and just felt the pain that investor in it must be feeling, that sucks. The 52 week high is $597 and it was $275 on f'ing Tuesday, it's now at $83.
This is a great reminder to never marry a stock. I'm not looking because I'm not in it, but I bet when it was at it's high, the headlines were stellar and going to the moon. Think ROKU at $400+, NFLX $700+, even TTD at $115 (although it's still planted in accounts). Stocks are a vehicle to increase your wealth, not your soulmate.
Yeah, that was definitely traded with inside information. I'd be surprised if they're allowed to keep that homerun because it should've popped up at the SEC.Dan Scott said:Yesterday few traders traded $SIVB.

Job Growtyh was 311K. Here we go
What were expectations?
300K jobs added. Estimate was 225, previous 500. I guess it's a "hot" print but bad news is good news. Let's see what happens after the first move.
Unemployment was up
Wage growth not as much as expected

I used to have a strategy of buying stock of good companies in crisis. I did it successfully with Citibank in 2009, I did it with Volkswagen after the emissions scandal, and I did it with BP for deep water horizon.
I did it unsuccessfully with Tokyo electric power co. It took me 5 years to get my money back.
SIVB feels like one of these opportunities but you have to size for zero.

Those successful opps you mentioned were not in the teeth of several different types of financial issues with the current economy. Yes Citi - but by that point - all the Lehman's were cut loose and JPM's Dimon was bringing his checkbook to buy those banks with issues.
Blackstone is defaulting on a European CMBS Bond. Brookfield defaulted on $750M in loans for some CRE in NYC. There is more and more traction of defaults out there.
What I am focused on is the underlying collateral - what do all these have in common? Bonds. The CMBS default = bond. The $750MM in Brookfield was a security instrument. The SVB took a $2.5B credit charge on some bond losses.
These are canaries in the coal mine IMO.
The fed will not allow them to fail.
So when you buying?

Agreed - which is why I would not be surprised to see an announcement on Monday that SVB was being acquired by XYZ Megacorp Bank and offloading their book onto a stronger balance sheet.$30,000 Millionaire said:

The MGMT of that bank royally effed up this entire situation by practically creating the run on their bank with the release of this news...
Probably a dumb question. I know they say to fade the first move off the numbers, but is that the premarket move, or the RTH move?
