Boobros win Tuesday! Deep red!

12/24 Weekend Notes

• The VIX remains lower. Treasury yields have rallied somewhat but have not finished their targeted move to 3.85%-3.9%. This coincides with the uptrend line on IEF and TLT. Equities (Tech notably) have not responded Friday’s move up in yields. The DXY is moving sideways at the cusp of breaking out of its wedge. Ultimately, equities look to have one more leg lower with yields hitting the upper target of 3.9%, VIX rallying substantially (20%)+ to test last week’s high and form a potential short term double top, and the DXY moving up sharply (1.5%). The confluence of a VIX spike, yield spike, and DXY spike will help catalyze the final capitulation low into year end tax harvesting/redemptions.

• Implied volatility discounts across the board have dissipated. Even Semis, which had a whopping 40% discount, are now only -9%. Numerous big caps are forming positive divergence regarding their RSIs. A bounce is coming, but it looks to still be a developing story. Financials are seeing a rapid increase in ivol premium. Defensives, financials, and energy look to be potential leaders of any near-term future bounce.

• The SPX is down 9% from its 12/13 high. Historically, the B wave correction occurs after the SPX drops 7-12%. There is a large demand zone at 370-372. Buying some of the aforementioned sectors at that juncture may provide to be a good hedge if the market decides to retrace 50% to the 393 level.

• Crude oil is in an interesting zone. A break above 80 opens the door to a 90 handle, but only if the 76 level holds. If the above thesis plays out, crude may backtest 75-77 one last time before rocketing higher. This coincides with one last drop in equities before a huge reflation retracement kicks off. Numerous energy stocks (MPC, EOG, COP) look exceptionally good here.

hard to say depends on how many stonks are in portfolio. short term like few years many can outperform market by sheer luck if you pick few stonks. most solid/biggest winners strategies are like people who trade constantly instead of picking stonks. but it's harder and requires more effort and skill. long term stonk picking is kinda dead anyways very few people do that anymore as it's hard to beat something like sp500 2x

>>53004663
The new theme was so bad it gave me dementia, I'm okay now thanks

>>53004697
Is 2x better than 3x in a biden market?

is there any actual reason why option commissions are more expensive than buying stocks?

All I want for Christmas is to not be Jewed by Citibank on my LUKOY

dumb tranime poster

Welp it's finally warmed up. To 13 degrees. Yeah we've got a heat wave now. (Not). Road is still covered with ice/snow. Some asshole decided to risk it early this morning and paid the price. Slid off into my drainage ditch. (Kinda steep). All I seen were tire tracks and a nice deep gouge place in the yard so they must've got it loose.

>futures

>>53004711
3x indecies are great in upswings but you dont need much selling they collapse, so requires lot of patiency and bigger money cant park in things like that

>>53004736
yeah but individual people. ofc institutions such as pension funds and so on, regular funds buy stonks individually it's often times muuch cheaper for big money to do like that. like just look warren buffet portfolio he has most of one stonk like 5% so it's similar to index but only performs much worse

>>53004760
>pasts

>>53004777
Well buying and holding is less appealing now I would agree with that, but not because of the investment strategy being bad, but because of the way technology has made our society ultra volatile. We nearly got rid of taxis because of uber, malls got destroyed via online sales, car manufacturers are facing heavy pressure to change to electric vehicles, blockbuster got BTFO, etc etc. Technology just makes every single industry subject to major headwinds that challenge their business model that make long term holding of a company dangerous. Makes me curious to see the rate of failure of companies now rather than 20 years ago.

Why did you guys tell me to buy SAVA. Fuck you assholes

>>53004722
If thats actually the case, buy the stock and sell the options for free money.

What were you thinking,buddy?

>>53004853
???? I still have to pay commissions selling options.

>>53004842
beware of advice telling you when to buy that doesn't include advice telling you when to sell

>>53004855
Because the stock is very cheap for its potential upside and they have a data release coming up soon.

Do baggies realize yet that Tesla was overvalued?

>>53004760
imo futures should be open weekends too. like regular eople would love to trade on weekends when they have more time i think. crypto ofc can be traded always but it's kinda shitty market outside of btc and eth. BUT in weekends there is actually market that is open it's spread betting so regular market --> futures market ---> spread betting market. spread betting predicts market opening too quite well

Where the fuck is the proof that this criminal probe is not into the short sellers?

>>53004892
the mythical pivot

>>53004867
man in hindsight that was such an obvious short
1) didnt decrease like every other stock had this year until september
2) elon bad pr from twitter and obviously had to sell shares to fund the deal
3) overhyped reddit tier stock like GME where people were just buying because it was going up with no thought at all
4) fundamentally a bad business that never delivered on its car production targets yet keeps adding more and more products they wont produce either
5) competition slowly building up and copying teslas research for a fraction of the cost

>>53004919
The pe ratio was also like 200 lol
Watching retards getting inevitably dickslapped by fundamentals is my new past time

>>53004929
i'm sad i didnt short, but there's value in not buying shitty stocks in the first place i suppose.

hey /smg/. merry christmas

>>53004892
Doesn't the uninvert usually happen with long dated treasuries going up? If that happens I'm going balls deep into them.

Momentum trading and riding coattails can make people money and is easier for them to understand than most anything else beyond "pick a company you like and DCA forever into that and indexes". People want to gamble, it's the entire reason derivatives exist in entirety. Are those people idiots for doing their investing, speculation, and gambling on the same broker or all via stocks and options? Yes they're complete idiots. But that's a lesson most don't learn until their first portfolio or three get completely blown up.

>>53004633

>>53005143
I'm not even a value investor, finding value in a good company is nigh impossible in this fake ass market. And im not even talking about 2008+ like those people that hate quantitative easing. I found plenty of good stocks from 2014-2016. Something changed in ~2018 and then 2021 was the most retarded valuation period i have ever seen in my life. It will probably be looked at like the 2000 dot com bubble with such shitcos like tesla and coinbase and carvana being that high of a market cap

>>53005180
>t's the entire reason derivatives exist in entirety.
No you fucking retard, derivative came to existence as a hedge.

Black scholes modeled derivative options solely exist because of asymmetric payouts that your hedges could gather

>>53005195
Value investing is probably the most sensible investing strategy if you’re going to pick stocks. There’s just something about the community that is very off putting. /r/valueinvesting for example.

>>53004904
You so deep in the sunken cost hole your blinded. The probe is literally happening, it doesn't matter who started it. The Justice department is on the case. Your money is gone, it's not coming back.

>>53005236
The Justice department is looking into SHORT SELLERS....not SAVA itself. The DoJ is investigating shorts for spreading defamatory statements about Cassava Sciences.

>>53005223
Theoretically yes, in practice almost every value stock is being priced that way for a reason that eludes retail investors (an example being JXN). Some exceptions will always exist, but as a general rule I doubt retail are finding these amazing value companies that are publicly tradeable. Private companies I can see value investing being way more lucrative and plausible.

WHOA BLACK BETTY

are the markets closed on Monday?

>>53005249
Your just making up delusions now. The criminal probe was started by a group of investors into the manipulation of the data to boost the stock price. All because the managers had bonuses that paid when the stock hit cetain price. Literally do some research you fool

>>53005307
There is no evidence that the DoJ is investigating into the company itself, they could easily be investigating short sellers.

>>53005299
Yes

I was doing noob puts on DIS, SPY and TSLA, wish i put wayyy more down on them, but it was a learning moment. I know TSLA is going to keep falling, if not slowly, lots of people say its heading to 60-80 fair value at some point. I was wondering, what other stocks could u see high volatility with? I had some good win streaks but now im kinda scared ill fly too close to the sun n get wiped out

Nah, derivatives are gambling. You're making a bet on a value you have no control over based on it going your way within a given amount of time, might as well just have a bookie instead of a broker to do that.

>>53005564

>>53005456
I really should've bought UPST puts, my friend works there. I only actually looked up what the company does cause I heard there were layoffs hitting them, and I decided not to buy puts because I thought the pain was already "priced in"

It's fallen quite a bit since then. I'll probably fomo into puts next trading day.

>>53005606
Did you know I can make a bet with a bookie for who will win the next presidential election two years from now? And yes, if you're buying a stock with the intent to sell it exactly two years from that date, that's literally gambling and not investing.

You should sell things when they're high and buy things low. That's investing, not gambling. I bet you didn't take any profits on the top of this once in a lifetime bubble too. The stock market will be flat for a decade. "Investing" and never selling when the whole thing is a ponzi and companies are monstrously overvalued, you're just a fool.

>>53005743
Rona is just a pretty shitty flu, it's just that when people think of "it's just a shitty flu" they don't realize that even the mild strains of the flu carry about a 0.5-1% fatality rate depending on the year and put a lot of people in the hospital at the same time. There's no way in hell any country could deal with more than a billion people getting the flu at the same time without having literally millions of deaths and completely swamping their healthcare system. There's no surprise why they stopped trying to report accurate numbers, if they just had a dude on TV holding a sign that said "shit is fucked" in Mandarin it'd be more accurate than any number count. They're coming off of having millions of people welded into their homes and ready to burn the place down right into "everyone is fucking sick all at once". It's very bearish.

>>53005743
fuck China

>>53005831
i feel like, and im being completely honest here, the main problem is that there are a lot of people who need to die. it's okay, and we need to all be okay with it. like, people protected by society from the laws of natural selection. and this is their reckoning. we're not losing healthy strong intelligent people to this shit. let the herd get culled, we'll all be better for it. this is financial advice.

it also sounds bad when you're like "a million people died!" but when it's out of over a million people it's really not that bad in context. MSM hypes it up a lot which i hate. FT is a liberal rag but they're great for financial news as long as you realize their bias. check out almost any given Edward Luce article and you'll know what I mean.

As far as I can tell, it shouldn’t be that bad an idea, if you have faith the index will go up in the long term. I hope it will, but the fuck do I know.

I've been tossing money blindly kinda into my 401k which tracks the S&P pretty close. Doing that since 2005. Looking at the growth over time guess I didn't fuck up to bad considering back in 2005 I really didn't have a clue what a stock or index fund was. All I've done is jack up my contribution amounts.

It's obviously been way overhyped and largely isn't fatal for the young or people without health complications, but it still gets a lot of people sick all at once and inevitably ends up killing people that matter or people that thought they didn't have anything to worry about. It's a massive wrench in the gears for a while until shit normalizes after, China held it off for a long time but they drove their people nuts in doing so and thus basically had to lift all restrictions all at once so it's ripping across the country. Short term very bearish for China or anything that depends on them.

>>53006281
As long as the market goes up the leverage magnifies you’re profits. Markets can go up for a week or a month. Heck, the market went pretty much straight up for almost two years from the covid bottom. But you don’t know it will, and the daily leverage adjustments will erode value in volatile conditions and if the market goes down you obviously lose

I'd just like to say I'm finished posting anything whatsoever at Reddit. I wrote what I thought was a pretty decent criticism of 401k/IRA maxing in relation to goals of early retirement, backed up with some solid math. Posted it in one of the personal finance subs and got absolutely shit on.

Like it was almost absurd how much hatred I got for questioning that 401k/IRA isn't right for everyone. And it's not like I was even saying anything I pulled out of my ass - I backed it all up with numbers.

Of course. That isn't a crazy thing at all. Plebbit is entirely designed around encouraging hivemind groupthinkery. It is the least open to unique/unpopular ideas of any forum on internet.

>>53006651
yeah, inversions do not mean we have to plunge, it doesnt mean we can't go down due to other factors though, like earnings coming down a lot from tightening financial conditions, or bonds becoming so attractive they make PE ratios go down again(pic)

>>53006743
I'll also say this, apparently a lot of people invest in reits for the dividend yield, and the index as a whole (like vnq) will crash when bond yields return more because all the short term investors bail

You're too stupid to interact with on Christmas

I've been watching all the different trading youtubers, after some time I think the TA traders have little to offer. all of them say the same thing "line could go up or could go down" turning it into a 15-30minute video. they all got blindsided on tuesday, expecting a pop up.
but I did learn some things, I think sector ratios/rotation/divergences are interesting to track. discretionary vs staple, high grade corporate bonds vs SPY
for example on friday high grade corporate bonds went down considerably while junk bonds went up alongside spy. usually don't see that.

greenest week of the year starts Tuesday

>>53006856
I don't get how corpos are even still holding up considering how high yields are. Companies are going to get hosed raising capital via note sales when risk free govt cash is so appealing. Is there a noticeable correlation between JNK and the various treasury yields?

>>53006856
>after some time I think the TA traders have little to offer
Correct! Good traders don't make youtube channels and they certainly don't share the critical specifics of their strategies. The only guy I've seen who even comes close is No Nonsense Forex and even he's very careful not to reveal precisely what he does. He'll tell you how he went about putting together his TA stuff and how he approaches stop losses, profit takes, etc. This is more than enough information to learn that style of trading.

Why would splits be any different for a 3x leverage ETF? It's a normally traded fund like any other

Most companies got in on the low rates in 2020/2021 and their interest payments are low for now. There are some maturities in 2023 and 2024 though.

I was buying some more treasuries on Schwab and they had corpos at 60-70 bps less than treasuries. I don't see why anyone would get corpo bonds when govt ones are much more guaranteed.

January is always bearish. Next week will be met with even more red. I sold yesterday at market close. It's all going to hell.

Kek was reading this sex story based on Christmas. Dude was horny, his wife was stranded at her parents place due to a storm and it was christmas eve. Dude wanted some release. So he cried out" All I want for christmas is to get laid" During the night he got a visitor. Not santa. More like santa's daughter. Who preceded to give our hero the release he needed. (What? So I like reading and I'm a horny pervert. So to combine two things I like is a win win to me)

>>53007079
I've been reading erotic stories too. Not much of an investing opportunity though, since authors put them online without any paywall... They write them for free

>>53007088
Some of those author's are pretty good. Which is saying something considering they do it for free.

>>53007079
If you want to delve the absolute depths of human sexual depravity, those stories are the place. Only hentai treads in the same waters.

>>53007129
Yeah I've got a few of them saved. Which is a good thing cause I've had most of them since oh I dunno 2004, 2005 somewhere in there.

Anyone have the balls to inverse him on this one?

>>53007146
I think the doctor union told all their members who want to cut costs by wfh-ing instead of keeping offices to invest heavily cause after that huge drop it's been holding steady for months. Pretty resilient.

>Even the double/single A bonds are getting beaten
Ok. I am going to look at all those companies with those bonds are short as many shares as I can. 2023 is going to give us our blood in the skeets.

>>53007145
I think my favorite one is a long one. Deals with a newly high school graduate. He bugs his parents for an R.V as a graduation gift so he can bum around the U.S the summer before college. Story is good. Lots of sex for our hero, some humor tossed in, and it kinda takes you back to a time where life was more carefree (this was written in 2004/5 so yeah).

Bright sun dogs in Alberta Wednesday and Thursday this week. I'm not sure if lower latitudes ever get these. Optimal conditions for sun dogs are mega cold temperature and mostly clear skies.

I'm going to get fucked by the MPW bounce that will happen because I didn't sell immediately when the option I bought the day before went up 20%. This always happens to me. I buy at the right time but rush and get a bad fill and then when it does exactly what I expect it to do the next day MM's take their bloodtax and hold me over the barrel

He should have read the Holy Bible instead of cheating on his wife, but she is probably a whore too.

Well anons. I'm alone tonight and my pipes are frozen. Maintenance fags won't pick up the phone and I'll have to pee in the shower as the toilet doesn't work either. The good news is that I'll be be watching Lord of the Rings and hanging out with my /smg/ frens. Also, the markets recover in 2023.

I have the chance to buy a semi-abandoned but functional house. My aunt dued two years ago and its sat vacant and my uncle who was holding out is dying. With rates being hirer -- I am not paying more than I would have before they increased.

The new one? If so, that is no way to try to make anything better. I hope no one calls you a faggot for depending on "maintenance fags", because this is Christmas and we need to lift each other up. Are you in an apartment building or what?

>>53007397

Christmas zoom chat. Get in here. It's only open for 40 minutes. Sorry about the link picture being a pic, the tranny jannies banned all my IP's for Christmas because they are genderless monsters whose parents pretend they're dead.

I know how cope looks like, I use to do it with my Dad side of the family, that was fucking grim and we did it for almost 20 years.

>“It has not been an easy road being a Tesla bear," said Andrew Left, the founder of Citron Research who is known for betting against stocks. “It’s been a pain-in-the-ass trade."
>Mr. Left, who was previously burned by his short position, says he promised himself at one point that he would never trade Tesla again. This summer, though, he says he began to get “FOMO," or a fear of missing out, and he jumped back in. Mr. Left said he closed his position Thursday at a profit but sees room for the shares to fall further.

A part of the US that got the deep freeze, libtard. Because I'm a RESPONSIBLE hardworking REPUBLICAN that drips his faucets, I get to enjoy running water on this GOD BLESSED CHRISTMAS EVE unlike some of you degenerate SOXL holders.
You want to forget the most basic of responsibilities for winter preparedness and then cry and blame everyone else when your pipes freeze, calling some other man to come save you and begging for a handout. SAD! Many such cases!

Can't get the password to work. Are those capital 'i's or lowercase 'L's?

>>53007392
It was a meme super secret buy the rumour sell the news ordeal. Their main and largest tenant apparently is making quarterly profits while similiar tenants not owned by MPW are posting their biggest quarterly losses. I'm guessing MPW and them worked out a compromise that way neither are left holding the bags and instead will let shareholders absorb the losses down the road.

>>53007438
>Son, anything 19F or less is potential pipe busting weather and it's been in the single digits down into the deep southern US.
Makes me remember the infrastructure and building codes are such are huge deal when it comes to cold weather. That temperature is routine and no issue at all in leafland due to mandatory insulation spec, double glazed windows, beefy furnaces, water lines all run deep underground. Residential burst pipes still happen here (due to freezing) but it takes a certain combination of weather and neglect.
Take care anon.

Lol lmao even

guys i got a job recently and starting putting 50% of my paycheck in to MARA every payday for the next 2 years. i figure that BTC halving will save my ass. 4 dollars now and hoping it will go to 80+

I'm still working through the latest case of cheap generic beerenbrau. Can says "Saddle Up!".

I already have $24k in these, and this will bring it to $36k. Thoughts on this stratagem?

we should do an /smg/ gift exchange next year. i'd probably get stuck with rocker though, and what do you get the man who has everything?

Indeed, I lived at Yellowstone during the winter it was the coldest in the lower 48, stayed minus 20F daily, and never heard of a pipe busting.

How would I get off? Like I said, my genitalia fully retreat back inside. After the first minute, there's not enough blood flow for any kind of arousal. Everything submerged goes numb. I do it because there are proven health, fat loss, and mental benefits.

Mutal funds will steal enough of your money via fees that a CD or savings account is better.

Also, by January your $24k will be $18k so you will bring it to $30k in your literal shit all risk and no reward mutual fund.

>>53007914
It's extremely painful, and I'm a big guy
Only for the first couple minutes though, then it's more of an extreme discomfort, except for my toes which hurt the whole time.

>>53007938
that fucking sucks. what if it's all a lie and you've been doing this for no reason?

>>53007947
I don't care. It gives me a reason to use that bathroom, and it helps keep the ice in my freezer fresh

Reminder to say Merry Christmas in response to any kike that tries to say Happy Holidays instead

Anchor steam christmas ale. I look forward to it every year.

>>53007937
Depending on the fund the fee is laughable. By the time the fee hits a level where it actually made a damn bit of difference to you well, you'd be in a position (very well off) that'd it be laughable. Most are in the 0.02 to 0.03 range. (For every 10k the fee is 2.00 or 3.00 a year). ETFs are the same way. They charge a fee to.

I asked ChatGPT to write a Christmas story about the stock market... it was the same conversation where I asked it to write a ghost story, so I guess it kind of merged them...

>The Christmas Miracle of the Stock Market
>It was the week before Christmas, and the stock market was in chaos. Traders were panicking as stocks plummeted and investors rushed to sell.
>But on Christmas Eve, something miraculous happened. A mysterious investor, rumored to be a friendly ghost, appeared on the trading floor. With a twinkle in his eye, he began buying up stocks left and right, confident in their value and potential.
>The other traders were skeptical at first, but as the ghost's bets paid off and the market started to stabilize, they began to follow his lead.
>By Christmas morning, the stock market had fully recovered and was even stronger than before. The traders were grateful to the mysterious investor and hailed him as a Christmas miracle. And as for the ghost, he vanished as suddenly as he appeared, leaving behind a trail of good cheer and prosperity.
>Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good stock!

It weights small, mid and international higher than the actual market, if a realistic distribution is what you want. With a little thought you could do even better allotments based on general macroeconomics or with less thought invest in a single index fund and call it a day.
Merry Christmas Nigger.
