Last week, retail traders bought $19.9 billion worth of puts to open. They bought only $6.5 billion in calls to open.

This is the first time in history that puts were 3x calls.

Vix was down on week.

Hopefully the puts know what they are doing.

Monthly expiration this week. I’d put resistance around 2750. Easy with a little help from rates and the dollar

2750 for what? SPX?

I have an eight year timeline. I’m not going to sit on the sidelines nor try to catch a falling knife. I put money in as I get it. Generally I put it into things I already own, things I’ve already researched and still feel confident about. Although, I have taken a few new positions lately, notably F and ARCC.

Sold a $30 strike, Jan 20 call on MRO for $240 today. I’m in it $5.73/share, if crude falls hopefully I can buy it back and take the easy cash. Even if crude soars and I’m assigned I’ll be ok with the 465% increase in less than two and a half years. It only yields 1.1% so I’ve wanted out of it for a while, I could be wrong but I think I’ve milked most of the share price growth out. I’d rather move that $3200 into something yielding higher.

I own a bit of MRO, love the company and it’s cash generation. Lower yielding but good buyback game. Will also get acquired in the next 2 years.

That said, growth continues to get hit, sp500 down to 3000/3200, recession next year, buy longer duration bonds and HY while we wait for 3k/3200. 12% yield is a nice number!!!

2750 for what? SPX?

Nat gas getting crushed. Still has a long way down.

^^^really don't understand that, US can't figure out how to export to EU? We should also be running more vehicles in Nat gas...but I guess that is dead too.

26 week Treasury Bill Auction Results

Would be nice if my credit union would catch up so I didn't have to use TD.

MC bank stocks are a buy. Monahan said they were crushing the savings spread.

Is there a Winnie the Pooh thread? I'm hearing he won't tell us how much honey is in the honey pot.

Surely that means less than 5% growth.

Xi is a master of Chinese Communist Party infighting & power struggles, a mediocrity with everything else. Chinese dynamism of the 90s, 00s, & 10s is no more, it has been subsumed by one man's policy failures.

Got a fair chunk of cash over the weekend. Was hoping to go on a buying spree today, gonna wait for a big down day. Futures creeping up this evening, tomorrow is setting up to be another move upwards.

Anyone take physical delivery of 10000 lbs of Alaskan king crab last year and flash freeze it? Me neither...

King crab season cancelled because a billion crabs went missing. Not sure why that’s in here though?

King crab have become self aware.

I'm not sure what's driving the markets higher? Maybe the good old pump and dump scam by WS?
