That was one of the wildest, and worst days to trade I have seen in a very long time. I am now having flash backs to the whole month of June and this vividly reminds me of why I absolutely hatteeddd trading SPY in the 370s.

It was the eve of FOMC and all through the markets the chop was playing out. Probability of a choppy range day was there but I did not really expect that red of a pre market. Overall I think we saw some risk come off the market today. Before people ask…. FOMC is tomorrow… rate hike drop at 2pm and... Read More

Well lets go ahead and get this out of the way… yes I bought calls over night and yes I was hella wrong. Inflation had peaked per CPI as I expected coming in a 8.3% vs. 8.5% previous, however, market honed in on year over year and month over month core. Year over year core had not gone up since Apri...

• (28 points) Prediction for tonight: futures open at -0.04%. Bears rejoice. By 6:30 futures are at +0.04%. Bulls go on a comment spree of "ber fuk." By 1 a.m. a tractor trailer carrying hazardous material has overturned .01 miles from my home, filling the atmosphere with a deadly cloud of gas that suffocates me as I lie in my bed. I never live to see SPY open -1.5% and rally to +2% by EOD.

• (3 points) Options watchlist on Robinhood has been a real revelation 90% of options I added around Jan-Feb 2022 most being LEAPS are down big! Makes you really think about selling options (spreads) instead.

Well I also added a SPY put as a hedge to see what happens and: $SPY 12/20/24 PUT date added 2/6 = +6% As you can see theta even killed the put. Time to learn Level 4 options boys that's where the money is at.

Same as every day this week. Pretty much sums it up. Life sucks. 😆 EOW positions. QQQ 300 and SPY 400 puts exp June 2023. A few Tesla 133.33 June 23 puts (I said 200 earlier. My bad) and a few Jan 23 UNG puts. 54.43% cash. MODs. Did you check out my proof or ban dude? He is either a complete idiot or a liar. I believe WSB deserves to know which.

• (9 points) If you lost money on stocks this year remember SPY was at ATH when the Fed announced they'd be raising rates this entire year to combat inflation. Same scenario as your entire building on fire and you decide to stay in your apartment even though theres a open window and you're on the first floor
• (9 points) As of the close Friday I am now (thus far) down only $87k this year. And this is a "win," as I was down nearly $400k a month ago. SPY puts. It was all about the SPY puts... (SPY below $330 by 21 OCT? I'm thinking yes, as the SPY hit $228 when the market crashed in MAR 2020 and that was simply on Covid fears. And there are a LOT more fears today...)

• (7 points) DD: \-You need to look at the inflation adjusted chart. Not the regular one. \-Market will bottom at the 2014 highs / 2018 lows on the inflation adjusted chart \-This will be slightly under the 400-wk MA, which is also where the 2020 covid bottom stopped, slightly under the 400-wk. \-Bottom will be around SPY 280 on the current chart. The key is this is equivalent to he 240's range previously.

Oil is $100 a barrel and a box of cereal is pushing $10. Your boss taps you on the shoulder, this is it...this is the big raise you've been asking for now going on a year.

Normies want assets to tank so they can buy the dip with their savings and wagebucks. A crash only fucks up the plans of the Fed, and markets like to fuck as many people as possible. Vix 40 is not happening for *years*, 🐂’s would storm the capitol demanding a pivot. SPY will keep shitting itself 15-20% then rebounding 10-17%. Bulls will realize stimmy is far away. Bears will realize they actually have to watch their gains like hawks if they want to benefit from a hawkish fed, and normies will lose their jobs and burn through their savings before 🏠’s become affordable 🤡 tldr: JPow said he’s going to fuck you in the 🍑, but as gently and as slowly as he can. Painal would have him cumming in 15 minutes, but he cares about your wellbeing so he’ll just slow fuck your anoos for hours until he 💦’s. He’s going to empathetically empty his balls into you.

• (6 points) okay, but with inflation the dollar is worth 20% less than last time SPY was 340. so 340*1.2 = 410

• (11 points) Random weekend thoughts -SPY @ 365 was the level I was waiting at to start averaging back in since it touched it in the summer and anyone who's been bearish since last year expected it to go down at least to that much. Problem is it happened fast so doesn't feel like adding a lot and thinking this is the bottom but averaging in...definitely. -I'm not a Boglehead, I like certain plays like energy or copper but I also don't think it's worth going too much in individual stocks when the index itself is that cheap. The problem is the stocks you own are also discounted so you get greedy about adding them rather than being disciplined and just buying the discounted index. -Long treasuries are doing what I thought they'd do (ZTL in terms of Canadian tickers). They haven't had the same downside risk as the market as they never went back up with the market and were expecting this. I'm barely in green though and thought I'd start selling ZTL instead of cash/HSAV to buy the index. If ZTL goes maybe 5% lower I'd buy but the bigger move in treasuries probably happens next year or whenever the Fed stops hiking. -Last SPY touched 365, it bounced off into a bull trap and I'd expect something similar to happen within a month though the bottom this time is maybe lower than 365. Same as last time though, I'd buy when it's at these levels and not buy if it goes up to 380 or 400 in the short-term (obviously long term like next year, those numbers are fine). XAW is the index I like the most as it's the most globally diversified one in Canada so basically when that's below $29 like today, I start buying. -Bitcoin.....surprisingly not down that much recently. It often is a leading indicator these days so if it's been flat roughly the past 5 days then probably an indicator the market isn't going to plunge another day like today. I still average in a bit since anytime below $30k is a bargain but if it hits $15k or less then I'd probably buy more heavily and maybe start looking at miners again. -Going back to individual stocks, I get excited about dips in a Canadian midcap energy company like Tamarack or Cameco not to mention the amount of penny stocks and explorers but I think you have to be boring and buy a midstream like Enbridge or TRP if you do buy and maybe average into the others on a later chop. -I dunno why so many Canadians buy banks going into a recession. Stop using the same strategy going into or during a recession as the strategy you use coming out of one. Their dividends aren't particularly high and I don't think they have the potential of outperforming the index by that much even when they do well so to me it feels like the risk of taking on an individual stock without the reward of getting a higher return.
