This has been crazy. I might buy some SQQQ today... mainly because I hate money.Q's with a 20% move from it's June lows. $330 on the Q's is going to be very very tough to get through. I sold some Q's I had in my long term account today, I was 100% in Q's in my long IRA with roughly a $285 avg.

I'm thinking 50bp hike next. Elon Musk confirmed we are past the peak of inflation in his shareholders meeting. Expecting the next CPI number to be lower. Lower inflation trend and continued job growth is ideal.so much for that Fed pivot
What about that 30% unemployment rate you called for?I'm thinking 50bp hike next. Elon Musk confirmed we are past the peak of inflation in his shareholders meeting. Expecting the next CPI number to be lower. Lower inflation trend and continued job growth is ideal.
I was wrong. Ill gladly take the L on that!What about that 30% unemployment rate you called for?
Yep, 10yr treasury up, interest rates up, inflation will most likely continue to rise..... strong job market with solid wages, demand not decreasing. As long as they don't address the supply issue, inflation will not improve.so much for that Fed pivot

We are looking at 50 BPS next meeting as my models show inflation running 8.6% in July and 8.3% for august which would be a +.1% MoM in July and -.1% MoM in August. The Fed is actually making the supply issues worse with raising interest rates as it is causing the cost of capital to increase, thus making it more expensive to build out the need infrastructure to fix the supple lines long term.Yep, 10yr treasury up, interest rates up, inflation will most likely continue to rise..... strong job market with solid wages, demand not decreasing.

Gamma starts rolling off the dealers books starting around 11 and ends about 2:30. So if a lot of options expire on the Friday before the dealers then sell the hedges on those stocks unless there is a lot of call buying before 11.Well, this certainly is only going to heighten my concern with CPI day.
- The Nasdaq doesn't toss what it was doing up to 11 AM without there being issues.
- Google reversed at the last stand area for bears.
- The Dow and S&P both hit the minimum targets you'd look for here.
Really sucks because I was thinking for a lot of the 10 AM hour while I was at the gym that the Nasdaq had to have folks screaming at the wall with how it opened. There's no way it should've opened the way it did with the awful news we heard from NVDA.
But that now looks like an exit pump to me...one that may have happened even if NVDA said nothing.
So close. 8.5% and 0.0% MoMWe are looking at 50 BPS next meeting as my models show inflation running 8.6% in July and 8.3% for august which would be a +.1% MoM in July and -.1% MoM in August.

You think this gives them enough cover to slow the hikes down?So close. 8.5% and 0.0% MoM
They will get a lot more data between now and the september meeting but I still think they raise by 50 bps instead of the 75 the market was thinking.You think this gives them enough cover to slow the hikes down?
Still hard to believe hiking and reducing the balance sheet is good for stocks. Like we're at 4700 with the FFR at zero and back to 4700 with the FFR at 3. That's a head-scratcher.They will get a lot more data between now and the september meeting but I still think they raise by 50 bps instead of the 75 the market was thinking.
Google with a multi month channel breakout.Google with a big channel….that’s a $12 channel. Can it close over $120 today.
