iShares 20 plus Year Treasury Bond (TLT) Quote

TLT Time to load up on the dip - Economic numbers will be revised lower, as always, which will show continued economic contraction.

Their is a rush at the top in equities right now, the inverse play will be the long bond.

7% shrinking GDP numbers today. This is terrible and another massive increase to debt.
GDP = Consumption + Investment + Net Government Injection+ (Exports - Imports)
The government borrowed $2.5 trillion during the past 12 months & injected that into economy.
The GDP would have decreased by 7% if the manipulative government had not injected 9%. This is poor policy and will have disastrous consequences. #GDP_Shrunk7%

Terrible! The inflation was not transitory. Costs are up 30% from pre-pandemic 2019, now are confirmed to be higher and continuing to rise.
Also, the government debt increase is not transitory. It is up from $27 T from 2021 to over $35.7 T and heading higher. Not coincidence!!!

LOL yeah with sub prime loans and a pandemic. This won't be as dramatic

Yields are spiking due to a much stronger than expected jobs report.

the same thing happened in 2008 after the Fed started cutting rates.

And then the wheels came off the bus.

TLTW 14.8% dividend. Pays out on monthly basis. May be good alternative to park cash and collect monthly income...exposure to TLT.

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.

Stop loss $90 next target $110

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.

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??
