iShares 20 plus Year Treasury Bond (TLT) Options

TLT Golden Cross today! I own the Oct 96 call options

Under Powell, costs have gone up more than 25% during the past 38 months. Costs are still going up far more than target.
Cost of labor is up more than 20%. Cost of energy is up more than 25%. Cost of aluminum and steel and produce and services are up more than 30%. Cost of rent is up more than 30%. Cost of meat is up more than 35%. Cost of insurance is up more than 40%. And all are going higher.
It is not all his fault. The federal governement has added more than $2 trillion per year to the debt and been injecting that into the economy and markets in order to make it look like a boom. They have brought the debt up from $21 trillion in 2019 to over $31.5 trillion as of last year. And now they are adding debt to the taxpayer even faster, with a $3.1 trillion increase to $34.6 trillion in the latest quarter. This is terrible policy that is unsustainable and is going to lead to an enormous collapse.

Bought 4 April 96 calls here last week at 2.01, interest rates have peaked!

KEY REVERSAL!!! 97.15 low! Partially filled the gap now 96.98-97.15 but would not fill the gap completely! Very Bullish Glad I locked in $425K in 5.5% CD's

Since China is still unloading a reported $800b in bonds, I suspect a bullish stance is way too premature.

Jan 3 2020 137 straddle today'

When to buy TLT vs SPX ?

Can one make money when the spx goes down ?

Market Cap = 17.62B

TLT SPX

May be headed for a triple top at $147.50-148

Intraday H/S. Added Nov15 138 Puts at $1.15

Ugh. Immediately wish I would have went heavier on Puts lol

Thanks for the message, I don’t have PM. I’m tempted to wade in here shortly as well. It’s so insanely news driven recently it does make the trade riskier than back at $148. I think going further dated puts like you did is for sure the way to do it.

May regret it but scaling into Nov15 $138P

We did get a nice drop but not quite that far. What are you thinking from here?

Gonna gap down on open imo

Back down to $136??

Thanks, I'll try to compare the chart a bit to see if they mirror each other today or if it can be random as well because gold also influences it so it can't be fully moving in tandem.

I’m honestly not one to give opinion on metals because I don’t play them.

I would assume, like Bonds, they are a safety play when equities get “toppy”...

Personally there’s a lot of indecision and consolidation in the market right now trying to decide its next big move.

TLT has unfinished tech business at the 50MA, which it didn’t close above, we need to see how it trades tomorrow on Fed direction. But maybe miners had some similar technical moves left in the chart if they lagged metals....

Just a quick question, I noticed that gold didn't really make much of a move north yesterday (Tuesday), however, the miners($GDX), had a pretty strong day even though gold was flat. So I'm just wondering, what is the correlation with TLT and GDX and I guess also silver if it has any, and why they appear to move together? Seems on a day like today when miners should have been flat, they hitched a ride on TLT's tail.

$TLT $Silver is on fire today!

$TLT Slowly scaling into more puts here.

Yikes. Struggling to even test the Daily 50MA. May break down here.

Bought a few Sept13 $141c for a pop, keeping puts in place tho

Bubble popped. Huge gap down from here

So. Much. Further. To. Fall!!!

Just dump all ready....

Weekly Psar is about to flip bearish. It’s gonna get ugly.

Thanks bud. Once this bottom BB support fails, should see $138 range pretty quickly.

Go pull US10Y Weekly chart set up... you’ll see why there’s conviction.

Great charting and conviction
