Buy VXX

$iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX.US)$ Just bought VXX. CPI report shows 0.2% same as expectation. Not any better news for further cool down on inflation. I expect more market volitity may start again and a bigger market corrections may happen soon. Bought a small amount at $50.5 to start. Will continue to add if VXX goes lower.
Cheers

Columns Coping with market panic: an options hedging guide when the VIX index soars

I. What happened last week?
In recent days, global markets, led by the U.S. stock market, seem to be struggling.
Last Friday, the U.S. non-farm payroll data and unemployment rate came in worse than expected, sparking fears of an economic recession and widespread market panic.
U.S. technology stocks were especially hard hit. In the Mag7 group, only $Apple (AAPL.US)$ saw a slight increase, while the rest declined, with $NVIDIA (NVDA.US)$ falling s...

Markets rally as recession fears ease: Take action or stay patient?

RVLTN : Led by Japan, created by an atmosphere purposely crafted to be absolute uncertainty and chaos by our government. Special mentions to the war criminals that someday will face their end, the Israeli occupation of Palestine, the EU leaders ( excluding. Hungary and Slovakia ) , particularly Vanderlyin, Macaroon (FR), Shulz (DE), most of the UK revolving joke, Duda (Pol), Kristersen (SV), Orpo (Fin), Kaya Calas
I keep wondering why people aren’t more angry. When will you all get angry?

gancheong spider : Whose land it is depends on which part of history u read into or one's faith. But what is clear is that violence to tackle violence will only create more violence. Whatever is happening in Palestine is gonna create multiples of Hamas. It is so so so easy to convert the Palestinians who have seen their child, father, mother or whole family perishes in front of their eyes.

Will NVDA Spike VXX

$iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX.US)$ if Nvidia doesn’t come with a miracle during the earnings call, a whole market is going to take a nice little downward trip and the VXX should take an upward trip.

Waited weeks..

$iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX.US)$ I waited a long time for the regular VIX to get under 13. Every time it did that it exploded now with ARM missing guidance. This thing should be going right back to 15+.

The Manipulation might..

$iPath Series B S&P 500 VIX Short-Term Futures ETN (VXX.US)$ The vixx is once again near a yearly low.. with everything bubbling to the surface I’m thinking a spike may be here after the Fed meeting. There are those rare instances where the vixx rises more than the MM’s can bring it down. Today-Friday could be that occurrence? I’m holding a nice chunk of $13.50 calls this week. It is the only thing I think the direction is set.. Good luck all..

Should We Be Worried About Inflation?

All Eyes on the Upcoming Fed Meeting
With interest rates and inflation being the main concern for investors these days, all eyes will be on the Federal Reserve's interest rate decision coming this Wednesday.
Many analysts are calling for a resurgence in inflation. While the Federal Reserve has been standing by their word, saying that inflation is under control and we are on the path towards rate cuts this year.
If the Fed believes that inflation is no longer...

Powell hints at rate cuts this year: What do you think?

BelleWeather : I think proper portfolio positioning vis a vis inflation is important. The concern I have is stagflation, so I’m trying to be defensive to that. This is difficult. And timing the market is impossible and crazy-making, so I personally am taking each day as it comes.
I don’t think anyone is going to sell off over these concerns, and Powell is not about to fan those flames either!

SpyderCall OP BelleWeather : They might not sell over these concerns. But when these variables are present, then any negative catalyst will likely catalyze a selloff. For example, if we get bad rhetoric from Powell next week, then we might see extra volatility. That being said, in the current environment, any selloff will be a good buying opportunity until something breaks in the economy.

SpyderCall OP BelleWeather : So far, wages and employment numbers have held up, so stagflation is not a concern until inflation picks back up. With the way oil and gasoline prices have been climbing, we could possibly see a stagflationary environment soon, but not yet. Things are almost perfect in the economic data currently. We are in a goldilocks zone for the Fed right now. And if things get worse, then the Fed has already mentioned cutting rates. That would be even more accomodative for equities as the "Fed Put" will be in play at that point. So, if we do see stagflation, it shouldn't last long as the Fed will accommodate markets when the inflation, wages, or employment situation changes negatively.

BelleWeather : Agreed on the Goldilocks zone vis a vis the Fed mandate save one issue - the reserve bank balance is almost out - won’t they have to move to correct that?

SpyderCall OP BelleWeather : They have been greatly decreasing the balance sheet since march 2022. This is done through selling treasury bonds or mortgage securities. Short-term treasuries, like bills, have been the biggest culprits for the runoff of the balance sheet. This has been unwinding the massive amount of asset purchases since the 2008 financial crisis.
They purchased all of these assets back then as a form of quantative easing to boost the economy. Right now, they are selling treasury notes at sky-high yields to provide liquidity to banks essentially. This is putting more liabilities onto the balance sheet, which brings the balance down.
I don't think the balance sheet runoff is such a big deal at the moment.
Once the economy is showing signs of trouble, then I think we will need to worry about the Fed balance sheet. If they start buying assets, essentially quantative easing, then they might think that there is weakness in the economy.
You might think that with the Fed balance falling like it is, then long-term treasuries should be falling along with the balance. But that has not been the case since last November as these treasuries have been climbing.
This tells me that the balance sheet is now falling because the Fed is adding liquidity through short-term bond sales, which inject liquidity into the economy, which is good for an economy and equities.
