More demand for quality homes, more demand for quality roofs, etc. Maybe try and find some quality homebuilder companies, long those, versus shorting the ones that build this shit.<br/><br/>Otherwise short bonds if you think rates keep rising, maybe try to find a mortgage bond ETF and short that. Should correlate with rates going up, but I&#39;d have to look at historical data to be sure. 2025-01-29T01:50:03Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsvl0pyrnpms7m6ax2jv5herz3suhc7f3m0n64dea090sj4vsw9vagzyqxn82m2s4y4dk8jcuyre0l2y4675w0q29peedxj2wa63enqtcal63wptau Ice fishing weekend on Thumb Lake in northern Michigan this weekend.<br/><br/>Caught a dozen or so small perch, lots of fun<br/> <img src="https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/113/890/766/960/598/573/original/047553544c0b8e4a.jpeg"> <br/> <img src="https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/113/890/767/138/581/652/original/5348a7752cba7982.jpeg"> <br/> 2025-01-25T19:59:57Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8za49flmw4m4h0wujc86d0teqfvads0g30yf29yu5larxu4950zqzyqxn82m2s4y4dk8jcuyre0l2y4675w0q29peedxj2wa63enqtcal6l7feja In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs95w0dqq469rducvp9lyypcagxys28hztfg6hvzl6kwmk6rc0uaesc3srnx'>nevent1q…srnx</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Absolutely true, planes make folks retarded 2025-01-22T02:38:08Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqswnfrakj5ex39k2mcfgt7t3w9zk4mrhl3xgw9r7z6qezw8es03q0szyqxn82m2s4y4dk8jcuyre0l2y4675w0q29peedxj2wa63enqtcal6tfhk2e In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2a9vhpzz7mcy6efw9jf5nn5wu93sf8qrpx2d7g0fdc8phmjg4x0qk5lqqz'>nevent1q…lqqz</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Sold most of this for $67-$70, holding onto a tiny balance now.

Ended up making 4 points (128 ticks) on an uncomfortable amount of ZB bond futures. 2024-11-05T00:49:24Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs8jwgc8nu0h7ytd55lnzansq0w3z6jd5t6h55uw7ft9dfchz4tnagzyqxn82m2s4y4dk8jcuyre0l2y4675w0q29peedxj2wa63enqtcal62dl032 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfe8vn7p23mzv2uaxcrnwg9tkllfyuyvuvq0egeqp45ufyjmdxveq827ezu'>nevent1q…7ezu</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Mind you, lame polls at the time were pricing a Clinton win. So the market was ripe for volatility as the results came in.<br/><br/>I made most of my money that night trading 30yr bond futures. Bond futures are priced in a weird way, but just know that every tick increment movement is $31.25 profit or loss, and in a typical day they move 8-10 ticks.<br/><br/>That night, bond futures rallied as high as 2 points (64 ticks) and ultimately sold off nearly 6 points.<br/><br/>Continued… 2024-11-05T00:46:26Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsfe8vn7p23mzv2uaxcrnwg9tkllfyuyvuvq0egeqp45ufyjmdxveqzyqxn82m2s4y4dk8jcuyre0l2y4675w0q29peedxj2wa63enqtcal60hnkd7 Presidential elections always remind me of trading the 2016 election<br/><br/>You didn’t need to watch the live election results, all you needed to watch was the S&amp;P futures and bonds.<br/><br/>Family friend of mine was a massive bond trader, I was on the west coast for work at the time (prior to starting my trading career professionally). I was working in consulting at the time, so I had free-reign to trade whatever I wanted in the personal account.<br/><br/>So I called my buddy, put him on speaker phone, and traded.. 2024-11-05T00:43:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw253h3w3g8d37szu0l9zhkmsrtj49w73dt7hpgt4atm5vmsut97czyqxn82m2s4y4dk8jcuyre0l2y4675w0q29peedxj2wa63enqtcal6eykyuh ITM and Happy show day<br/> <img src="https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/113/420/589/243/975/322/original/82517814cebc3eac.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-11-03T19:07:31Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2hqhq69zp63vd9s9vkcwl8e7f2nzxr7s7rdpkgtx662sr9t303xszyqxn82m2s4y4dk8jcuyre0l2y4675w0q29peedxj2wa63enqtcal6v7c6yf There are dozens of recessionary signals out there. Economic data, valuations, macroeconomic analysis, and the like.<br/><br/>The problem is that most of that garbage is bullshit. The same folks who point to bearish economic data for recessionary signals argue this data is corrupt (CPI, unemployment). Valuations are also fugazzi. Garbage in, garbage out; meaning, if your assumptions are shit then so too are the model results. Macroeconomics is even worse; it’s horoscopes for morons.<br/><br/>Continued. 2024-10-30T00:12:09Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsw0yup07rf46qqhmhfc4he58lfulekn2x3g4kuftyzzf0x2vng9sgzyqxn82m2s4y4dk8jcuyre0l2y4675w0q29peedxj2wa63enqtcal6s20w4y Can’t believe I’m saying this, but Kamala is getting to levels worth betting on in Polymarket odds.<br/><br/>She now sits at a 33.3% chance (MAGIC NUMBER) to win the presidency. This spread should absolutely tighten up into the election, and I’m pretty close to buying Kamala as a short term trade. Might wait for 30%, but at some point this spread must tighten (election night perhaps when one or two upset states get announced?). <br/><br/>30% feels a bit too cheap going into the election.<br/> <img src="https://static.noauthority.social/media_attachments/files/113/393/366/210/468/918/original/1f1f166d81abb748.jpeg"> <br/> 2024-10-29T23:44:17Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsx2k3zud42k235m64s8kqk5ne7xf707vlpy2hds3m9qxm7ha9eylszyqxn82m2s4y4dk8jcuyre0l2y4675w0q29peedxj2wa63enqtcal6jqeth4 ITM and Happy Show day<br/><br/>Relaxing Sunday for me while I listen to the live stream, not much planned.

Buying physical is always better, but storing it securely is important. If your intent is to hold for a long time, physical also better. If your intent is a quick trade, buy the ETFs like GLD or similar. 2024-10-19T14:20:15Z
