$Direxion Daily Utilities Bull 3X Shares (UTSL.US)$my post here tend to be less and less because we're approaching the Target price that I originally anticipated last year at a much more rapid rate. and the acceleration of the appreciation of the utilities is not just because of the anticipation of further rate cuts but rather they have become an AI play and a growth story rather than just a dividend investment. $44-46 is where I see this basket peaking. I understand there's all the enthusiasm...

as a follow-up I just want to show you what you potentially can get by selling covered calls and you would be able to do this with this ETF twice a month. so this ETF is priced out at about $41 a share if you sell in October 18th 42 call the spread is quite large so you should be able to place a limit order at a 1.0-1.25 the spread and get filled. so every contract is 100 shares 10 contracts is a thousand shares so make sure you sell the appropriate amount relative to your position. let's suppose you're able to do this twice a month and you're able to capture at least a dollar each time. you've made $2 a month if you're able to do this strategically where you're raising the price of the calls you are selling high enough that you're not going to be getting called away and there is a risk to that obviously in 3 months you've made $6 that's a significant percent relative to the price of the underlying ETF basket. so if you choose to hold this basket it's your decision it's your money after all. there will become a point where the basket stops appreciating and begins to trade flat and then gradually roll over. I'm sure you've observed this first hand with many stocks and that is your cautionary warning that you need to exit stage left.

the two factors that are affecting it now number one you have the 10-year treasury that has skyrocketed in yield relative to where it started from it's over 4% and anytime yields go up investments that are dividend come down so that is probably 50% of the reason for yesterday's sell off and the day before's Friday. I think it will get there it's going to take another cycle we're going to have to see the 10-year come down right now it's in an upward trend so we could see a dollar more downside on this basket potentially so it while you're waiting for the next cycle you can sell calls covered against your position in round lots for a short period of time don't go out more than a week. so potentially you have to sell for the 18th of October because they only do two options for every month. so you could sell like a 41 contract for next Friday's the 18th expiration.. all of the utilities on the short-term are technically overbought especially on a weekly chart it's scary how far above the moving averages they are but this is because everyone and their mother is buying into the utilities number one for yield number two because they represented data center play. this may be a pause it may last 2 weeks 3 weeks I don't know because it really is dependent upon the 10 year so we need to see the 10-year treasury roll back over under three and then the upward trend continues.
