HYG trade ideas

Might get stimulus tomorrow; high-risk short term playTrump is meeting with bank CEOs today to discuss how to support small-cap companies with large debt burdens. The high-yield junk bond market has been bleeding lately because many of these bonds are expected to go into default later this year. However, if Trump's meeting produces some kind of stimulus or bailout, we might see this market rally. Cheap March 13 or March 20 calls might be a winner if we get a positive headline in the next few days.

THE WEEK AHEAD (IRA): HYG LADDERED SHORT PUTSWith my low-yielding TLT position reaching all-time highs (and its yield reaching lows), looking to get out of my TLT stock at some point in the next few months and get into higher yielding junk, preferably at a discount over where it's currently trading. Pictured here is an acquisitional strategy where you look to sell equally delta'd strikes laddered out in time. If price doesn't reach the strikes, you keep the premium (currently a total of 3.80 at the mid price); you otherwise take assignment and proceed to cover to reduce cost basis ... .

A Major change in the HYG INDEX IS HERE IT IS UP !! For the last 18 months the HYG index corp debt market has been in a sideways pattern to which I wrote in great detail the over head fib relationship to which stopped the market in its tracks . But EVERY TIME IT MADE A LOW INTO THE 200 DAY AVG IT TURNED UP AS WELL AS ALL STOCK INDEX . THE CHART IS MY VIEW OF THE LABEL BASED ON MY FIB CYCLES AND MY WAVE STRUCTURE .I WILL STATE MY VIEW IS THAT THE HYG IS ON THE VERGE OF A BREAKOUT TO TARGET 90.4 TO 91.6 OVER THE NEXT 30 TD

OPENING ("THE KID"): HYG DEC 20TH 87 SHORT PUT... for a .95 ($95) credit. Notes: She's gone quite aggressive here, selling the first out-of-the-money strike with a break even at 86.05. She'll look to roll for duration on extrinsic approaching zero to the first out-of-the-money short put for a credit or, at the very least, toward current price for a credit, looking to emulate HYG's annualized dividend (currently 4.56) without actually being in the stock. She said she's fine with taking assignment at 86.05, but would prefer reducing cost basis "as much as possible" before taking on shares. She liked my "not a penny more" idea (See Post Below), called it "nice" but "not aggressive enough." Kids nowadays ... . We'll see how her "aggressive" goes.
