Building Long Position in UPROBased on my technicals, UPRO begun trading at a discount level after last Friday's close (weekly candle). I look at price in a specific format using the RSI indicator. Price trading below 50 level = discount , price about 50 = premium. So currently UPRO is at a discount for my liking and I've begun investing some capital here. Current upside to previous highs is about 20% ROI, so if price continues to head bearish I will continue to DCA (dollar-cost average) down and lower my cost-basis.

Some Thoughts on The S&P 500 Right NowIn my new 2025 project, I’m sharing charts with annotations on major risk assets right here. Since the correction started in December, I’ve been marking key levels on the S&P 500 and have updated the chart again with today’s price action. Comparing today’s levels to the chart from earlier this week, it’s clear that patience has been the right approach. The mapped-out levels have held up, and even Howard Marks has been exploring the possibility of a bubble call. While I don't think that many people calling a top suddenly means a top is coming, actually I sometimes think the opposite, I still take note that people are possibly using this as a moment to adjust positions. The tax year literally just ended. A new administration starts in less than 10 days. Record amounts of cash are still on the sidelines. The point is, money needs to move, and downward market is the kind of action needed to start this process. Now, back to the chart above, the market is back in its gap-fill zone, a magnet for prices that often highlights extreme optimism or pessimism in after-hours trading, only to reverse if things have moved too far, too fast. So here we are on a Friday—no need to rush in. Instead, now is the time to start making lists of your favorite names. The correction has created opportunities, and being prepared is key. I’ll share some of my own picks soon. This sell-off may even be a healthy rotation heading into the new administration, as markets reposition after the tax season wrap-up in December 2024. So what does this all mean? If you have cash, stay sharp and ready. If you're long at this moment, I don't see this as the moment to sell. If you're short at this moment, I think you are just shorting in the hole and you missed the move! The chop back upward could be swift. Best move in a market like this: map out your zones and be patient.

Opening (IRA): ARKK Feb 21st 45/50/61/66 Iron Condor... for a 1.43 credit. Comments: An additive delta adjustment trade. With the short call of the setup I put on Friday (See Post Below) at -20 delta and the short put at 29, layering in an iron condor with the short call at the -28 delta and the short put at the 20 delta to flatten out net delta of the entire position. This is skewed slightly short to offset the slightly long delta skew of the setup I put on Friday, so am indicating that it's "short." Metrics: Max Profit: 1.43 Buying Power Effect: 3.57 ROC at Max: 40.06% 50% Max: .72 ROC at 50% Max: 20.03% Since you can't close out an eight-legged setup, will either look to take off each iron condor individually at 50% max or mix and match profitable call side with profitable put side to reduce units/risk running into expiry.

TLT long, long and only long, don't give up and keep it with youAgain me and again my TLT))) First of all we should keep safety and creditworthiness U.S. Treasuries are backed by the U.S. government, making them one of the safest investments globally. They are considered risk-free in terms of credit risk, as the U.S. government has never defaulted on its debt. The second one and the most important point - we have ATTRACTIVE Yield Opportunities 10y 4.77% 20y 5.041% 30y 4.959% Starting from the 1980s, this is the second time the Fed is cutting interest rates while yields are rising. Of course, this carries certain risks, and experienced investors know that the 1980s were not the best times for reliable investments. The market is anticipating a new wave of inflation, and professional participants do not agree with the Fed's 1% cut. Especially with the 50-basis-point decision in September. Up to this point, many believe that the fight against inflation has failed, and some banks even fear that not only will the rates remain unchanged, but further hikes are possible. No, no, and once again, no. With inflation at 3% or a bit higher, rates of 4.5% cannot logically rise further. They might remain unchanged for an extended period or be reduced slightly, taking macroeconomic indicators into account. Currently, the market is not moving out of fear of a strong labor market or high inflation but exclusively out of fears related to the Trump administration. These include promises of new sanctions, tough measures against migration, and tax relief. I honestly believe that of the aforementioned, only the tax relief will be fully implemented. There will be a few formal sanctions, primarily targeting China, while migration policies will remain election promises and not actionable programs. In the face of all this, we have very low TLT and very high yields for 20+ or even 10y, which are truly worth our bid.
