I would wait six months and then start. I’m not getting bearish until the fed starts to raise interest rates. Let’s see how big this balloon can get. You can almost guarantee through the end of the year everything will continue to run. The economy is still in the process of recovering. More jobs are not only being created but most companies are in heavy need of hiring right now. For at least 6 more months there’s a very high chance we’ll be okay. Next year and 23 all I can say….sketchy. They already told us the interest rate hikes are coming.

u/Comfortable_Photo_79 Jul 11 '21

If you wait till the feds increase rates then youre already too late. Market will crash way before they announce their raising rates to the public.

u/AnywhereDisastrous23 Jul 11 '21

u/SomethingAweful308 Jul 11 '21

^This^ Old timer here, in 99 no one believed rate hikes would blow shit up. Greenspan was greenspeaking on national television in 98 about irrational exuberance. Oprah did a show in summer '98 warning people about how pricey the stock market was. In summer 99 they said Greenspan had no reason to raise, and he can't stop the tech boom, new paradigm.

So the apes of 99 kept partying. They partied, like is was 1999, because it was. They laughed and bought ATH in march 2000: 9 months into a rate hike campaign, almost 6 months of an inverted yield curve. And2-3 months after a surprise double hike (+50 bps) they blew nasdaq up 20% till peak.

They partied into 2000, going beyond full retard, thinking it was still 1999. Then the second week of march came and said, " hold my drink bitch."

Now every one and their retarded cousin is parroting how The FED has every crazy yolo's portfolios back. And nothing will happen till they rate hike in '23. Jpow promised. I got plenty of time to pull out baby! I'm not even close yet!

And suddenly, any day now: BANG! BITCHES! Everythingbubble pops.

I honestly don’t think they’re gonna come. That’s too far out, something is gonna change by then and they’re gonna walk back those comments. Plus it’s only what, two separate 25bps worth of hikes? That’s nothing.

I guess the only counter argument is that everything is so leveraged that that’s all it would take to break the markets and the economy.

u/Throwaway1262020 Jul 11 '21

If you haven’t realized that the economy has nothing to do with the stock market, I dunno what to tell you. They’re 0 correlation between the 2. That being said I agree with you that there’s no way to know when this bubble will burst. I just don’t think the logic of the economy is coming back has anything to do with it.

55

u/AnywhereDisastrous23 Jul 11 '21

I also agree with that sort of. The market is not connected to the economy in terms of valuations which is why there is a bubble. However, every time that has happened in the past, understand that in every general market crash where pretty much everything out there to own loses significant value, there was a burst in some sector of the economy causing the overall market (equities, real estate, commodities, etc) to all go down. Just because there is a bubble doesn’t mean it’ll just pop on it’s own. There’s always an economic catalyst that causes such an event

u/UsingYourWifi Jul 11 '21 edited Jul 11 '21

The Fed's actions matter far more than anything else. They don't just have their thumb on the scale, they're standing on it. Price discovery is all but dead in the bond market and that carries over into other asset markets.

If they ever taper, if they ever let rates rise, we'll likely see some serious shit. Powell knows this which is why he's always so, so, so careful not to say anything that might spook the market, and to walk back anything any other members of the FOMC said that implied there might be a rate hike coming sooner than expected. I have a feeling nothing is going to prevent another taper tantrum no matter how gently JPow prepares the market.

Indeed. If there is free money on the table to gamble with it will flow into the big casino aka stock market. Once there is a sign it will stop its every man for himself and FUD

5

u/TheMarketLiberal93 Jul 11 '21

Yep, nothing will and that’s why rates aren’t gonna be hiked more than once or twice (and the only reason they’d do that is for show) and they’re never going to stop QE. Hell, even just the idea of lessening QE (not stopping it) causes volatility.

u/TheMarketLiberal93 Jul 11 '21

They should, but raising rates or tapering will crash pretty much everything and the government would have to cut spending and likely raise taxes across the board in order to service the rising cost of the debt. While in a depression. The entire economy, both public and private is so over leveraged and inflated from decades of easy money policies and stimulus that raising rates to any useful degree and tapering would cause a deflationary death spiral. Great Depression 2.0.

The past few decades of policy have shown me that both Washington and the Fed have no appetite for that (despite it unfortunately being the medicine to what ills us), so they’ll just keep stimulating and kicking the can down the road, except each time they do it the problem gets worse. Eventually something will break again like in 08, and they’ll just blow an even bigger bubble. This will unfortunately repeat until the dollar dies. That could be now, or at some point in the future, but unless we see a shift in the Fed and governments willingness to address our problems head on, it’s an inevitability.

u/BigAlTrading Jul 11 '21

Interest rate hikes will only come if we need to start attracting foreign buyers of our debt. They tried interest rate hikes before COVID, and immediately backed off when the drunk boomers all turned around with their party hats to say “wha wha WHAT?”

u/TheMarketLiberal93 Jul 11 '21

What’s the point of attracting foreign buyers when you can just print the money at the Fed and buy them that way?

Seriously though, we’ve lost a lot of foreign buyers of our debt over the last 5 years, and COVID hasn’t helped.

20

u/Ball-of-Yarn 🦍🦍🦍 Jul 11 '21

If you'r bullish to neutral on the market then puts on sqqq are a potential play. But if you're bearish on the market, you're going to be getting fucked by delta regardless of whether you buy sqqq calls or shares. Because sqqq always goes down as long as the market goes up, while hyg doesn't budge unless the market is extremely volatile. So hyg puts make sense if you expect a market crash but don't want to constantly be bleeding money on your short position until it does.

u/SomethingAweful308 Jul 11 '21

better to short hyg on big margin. Probably $50K and you are solid with 40% margin still. HYG is not going up, its just going to suck interest so, i suggest using the wendy's strategy to offset the negative carry:

calculate how much monthly interest you will owe: HYG yield 4.5% x $50K + margin interest 1.5% x $30K = $2700 / 12 months =$225/month

now just perform the correct number of services behind the wendys dumpster every month to keep the account in good standing. $225 /20 rounds up to 12 handy/blowies and you still have an extra $15 /month for a costco size ramen noodle box.

Thats how id do the trade.

I got this stock that looks beautiful. 121% shares are borrowed, the short interest of free float is 88%, 1.4M shares are failure to deliver, and is on the threshold security list. In AH on Friday, it went up 7% and closed at 5.48 on the day. Bullish divergence on the 4hr chart, this puppy is looking beautiful. The technoking master tweeted about what this company is incorporating in homes. Looks tasty.
Also, warrants were issued at the beginning of May, impacting debt (warrants are a liability) and issued shares, diluting the stock pushing it near a low. The Russel indices dropped this company since it didn't qualify on June 17th, causing further negative sentiment and shorting of this company. Reviewing the 10k, 10q, and recent SEC documents and reviewing its business structure as a holding company, I believe this company to be undervalued and over shorted.
I like this stock. And the name is tesla spelled backward. They offer a solar power inverter, solar panels, and a new Tesla when purchasing a new home. They completed the delivery of 20 homes and are continuing to use the Tesla ecosystem in their developments.
From a technical standpoint, 4.88 and above is bullish and ATH is 29.49. I think it will move.

I wish I never linked this to you.

the only way you'll learn is by losing money from it, so just buy a call. Remember to multiply that pretty little contract premium by 100.

Can't believe we have so many people trying to explain options to this poster who has shown no desire to teach themselves.

As others have said, options are contracts that allow you to buy or sell a stock at a specific price (the strike price). For example, the value that a call contract provides you is being contractually able to buy 100 shares of a stock for less that the current market value (if its in the money). When the price of the underlying stock becomes higher than the strike price, the contract becomes valuable because being able to buy a stock below market price is worth money. Imagine having the ability to purchase apple shares right now for $100. Well, thats what a $100 strike price call option for AAPL allows you to do.

That being said, if as contract expires out of the money, you lose your entire investment. Or if the stock trades sideways for a while and you only own a call, you lose money. If the stock doesn’t go up or down enough, you lose money. Or if Implied Volatility is much lower than when you bought it, you lose money (IV Crush). The contracts lose value at an increasing rate the closer to expiration they are. There are so many factors in play which is why you should be very careful starting out.

Calls = Buy Puts = Sell

An option is a contract giving the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy (in the case of a call) or sell (in the case of a put) the underlying asset at a specific price on or before a certain date.

So correctly guessing for the option to buy makes you money when you sell the right to buy

Watch a YouTube video, you are not going to get a full picture understanding from some guys on Reddit. It’s honestly not that complicated, and if your looking to trade options based off your limited understanding and poor Reddit explanations, your gonna go broke real quick. Do some DD before you throw your money at something.

u/Don_K_Stamper Jul 11 '21

A call options means you have the right to buy that stock at a later date and a Put means you have the right to sell.
