Do you feel lucky...well do ya? 🤠Look at the chart...then look at your portfolio...then look at the chart again.
Where do you think TLT is heading? Every time JNK/TLT touched the trendline, a TLT rally followed it, 4 times in the past 13 years. Do you think it will happen a 5th?
30Y at zero is something like ~200 on TLT, this is the best ROI trade right now IMO. Yes it will take a year or two, and if it happens sooner, then great! :)
No need to make comparisons to 1929...too many different factors at play. However, we also had a similar setup when YoY inflation was high back in 2007 with housing at all time highs... and remember where that ended up? ;)
Not saying anything will happen next week...but as a long term investor this is my bid over the next year.
If 13 year downward trendline breaks on JNK/TLT, I'm out of TLT...but until then...
TLT trade ideas
$TLT Retrace and GoThis also looked to be a valid bearish cipher followed by a possible bullish 5-0 patter. However, I decided to assume that a double bottom has completed its measured move and will follow DOW's law with a 50% retrace. I believe the trend is still strong and after the correction will reach newer highs. Personally, I'm long here but acknowledge the short-term downside risk. Good Luck!
Opened: TLT June 17th 2 x 171/153 Put Back Ratio Spread... for a 36.45 debit.
Comments: Another put back ratio spread, this time longer-dated. Buying 2 x the 75 deltas and selling 1 x 50 delta to create a -100 delta short position in 20+ year paper on strength here. Will look to take profit at 110% of what I put it on for.
$spy $tlt Look for bonds to take out 152If bonds can take out 152 then there is an air pocket between 152-156 and you could see a very quick squeeze to 156. That would coincide with another drop in the market as well. At that point I am a seller of bonds and buyer of stocks. $spy may have another 2% downside.
If this is an inverted H&S then we could easily see top of volume range to 160 on tilt
Opening: TLT March 18th 2 x 163/151 Back Ratio Spread... for a 23.99 debit.
Comments: Buying 2 x the 75 delta puts and selling the 50 delta put strike in the March expiry on strength here to create a synthetic -100 net delta short position with a 151.01 break even in 20+ year paper. Will start to look to take profit at 110% of what I put it on for.

IF not - it's on to more persuasive actions. Alex adores the thought.

Opening (Margin): TLT January 21st 2 x 160/149 Backratio Spread... for a 20.34 debit.
Comments: Buying 2 x the 82 delta strike and selling the at-the-money 49 delta strike for a setup with a net delta of -115, so this is going to move a lot like short stock. Going with the January expiry to give it more time to work out if it needs it, but will look to take profit at 110% of what I put the trade on for.
TLT Squeezing to stratosphereLike to thank somebody for pointing out the squeeze, but don't know the dude's name. Will likely dca into tlt shares over next 6 months or until squeezed. if anybody is thinking of following this trade just go check my other losses and maybe inverse this like dr. michael burry.
TLT, Trade and trend ranges [02NOV2021]So, in some of the previous plan's descriptions (link below) I have been saying about shorting TLT, and I thought today it would be nice to share a standalone TLT idea, please let me know how it goes.
Signal is extreme bearish, short term has an equal weights on upside to downside, and long term has a -3% downside. I will be adding puts to my core short positions today if I get TLT to be 147.5
PS. Each box span a day, and the code gives short term and long term trends as shown. the trend is shown with the color of the box. The range is calculated on a daily basis.
If you want similar ranges and trends on your ticker, feel free to contact me, I will add them to my list and provide them when the signal is interesting (for free of course)

Opening: TLT 2 x December 17th 154/147 Put Backspread Ratio... for a 12.48 debit.
Comments: Here, taking a short-term directional shot in treasuries on strength by buying 2 x the 75 delta puts in the December expiry and selling a 50 delta at-the-money put, yielding a -100.79 dynamic short delta position that will have the "feel" of being short a one lot in TLT from 147.76.
Will start to look to take profit at 110% of what I paid to put the trade on for.
