CCL - Rough Seas

As anticipated the reopening trades took a hit in December and the reopening is having further setback in January. UK lockdown, mutations, and PCR testing restricting travel when the model predicted a setback. Carnival came close to hitting the $25 target in December. Raise the target to $26 for April. Daily

    1. It makes sense in that SPX is moving like a snail. Volatility is subdued at the moment.

      Remember quiet markets lead to Volatile markets.

  13. In this increasing volatility market what I suspect is that we would only see 4 year terms. No President would be able to survive past 4 years as the VIX moves to 170. Republican nor Democrat. The people won't be happy with anybody. You can see the fear showing through as the people become increasingly anxious about their future.

    ReplyDelete
  14. UVXY is almost there. It's approaching the change of card. That is the turn where you can buy and hold UVXY over the long term. We have to wait but it's coming. At that moment when it turns it'll act very aggressively and that gives us the opportunity for trades.

  31. SC, you shared your thoughts on uvxy and Vix, and are patiently waiting on gaps to be filled before averaging down. I was able to sell on the pops and average down to keep up.

    Candid question, how are you able to sit on uvxy from the $20 range without averaging down, or cutting losses?

    ReplyDelete

    1. Took profits on that. It wasn't doing much at the time. I don't use stops the way some do. If it doesn't make sense the way it's trading then sell win or lose and wait for the next entry. In that case did manage small profit.

      Delete
    2. I must have missed the post when you sold. I think most were under the impression that you were still holding. Thanks

      Delete
  32. I mentioned UVXY on my twitter account and someone replied with a warning that it's leveraged so it loses value against VIX over time. I suspect all of you folks here already knew that. So I took a look at the daily charts of UVXY, VXX, and VIX going back a couple of years to see how bad the decay is, and sure enough, UVXY looks pretty bad. I know that if you're trading UVXY and planning to hold for only a few days, the decay is not a problem. But longer than that I'd go with VXX.

    ReplyDelete
  33. It depends. When in contango yes there is decay working against UVXY. However, in backwardation it is the opposite.

    So let's look at the curve. January the contango is steep, but then it levels off.

    2. thanks, SC. I hadn't considered that it was contango that causes UVXY to decay. That's good to know. Also thanks for that website!

  35. The Italian government must collapse and we are almost there, the fear that they will elect the right in Italy. it will bring Europe and the financial powers to sell all the BTP ITALIA as they did in 2011 at the time of Berlusconi with Merkel who made him resign. Out of BTPs, Italian banks will collapse and the spread will rise to 500. IF Italy does this, everything will collapse.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Merkel cannot afford to have a right-wing government in Italy that does not follow her directives like the current left one. Salvini could light a dangerous fuse and set a bad example to other European sovereignists and make the entire socialist political system currently in Europe go haywire. To force the hand of politics, Merkel usually requires its banks to sell Italian debt en masse, thus raising the spread and drowning ITALY. With fear of this, they will try to prevent Salvini from being elected. "Italians, if you vote Salvini I will blow up the banks and make you poor". This is Merkel.

    ReplyDelete
  37. In Italy governments, council presidents, politicians, electoral methods have passed and changed, but Merkel is always there. You seem to be in CHINA, where the democracy of alternation is. The world is becoming socialist, as if socialism has brought wealth and prosperity. At DAVOS in 2001 they had decided something that they are now implementing, do you remember the Global information technology report ”with the inclusion of the GREAT RESET?

    ReplyDelete
  38. Covid has certainly helped them to establish what they had set for DAVOS in 2001. Financial and technological powers have made pacts to close the peoples at home and try to cancel private property, make everything back to the STATE that controls the currency with a digital one to keep people's savings under control.

  39. Did you see this about a Grand Deal with Russia?

    "Germany’s Merkel ‘open’ to producing Russian Covid vaccine in the EU"

    ReplyDelete
  40. Yes, I'm Buck ... From Italy, yes, a country that if today went to vote, the right would win, but they don't let us vote, our president Mattarella, in every government crisis, instead of sending the vote, asks the government to make a reshuffle, change some names and always start again on the left, without ever starting over by going to vote and this is because Merkel wants it so. We are in bad shape in Italy with this dominant Germany.

    ReplyDelete
  41. No, the Russian Sputnik does not use it in Europe, only Pfizer the Moderna and Astrazeneca.Germany, as usual, does as it wants and has made direct treaties with the vaccine industries without going through Brussels, they have more vaccine than anyone, here they command everything. By now they no longer need tanks to Germany, but with the power of the economy they command everything the same.

  42. Thank you very much Buck! I remember your warnings last year. You were spot on.

  43. Seems the problem everywhere is the same. Big government everywhere has run wild.

    Replies
    1. Yes the chart is getting ripe but one thing I've been waiting for is the VIX to get oversold. Even before the virus panic it wasn't oversold. The best charts are simple. This will be the best entry for UVXY when VIX gets oversold.
