Not sure I’d use the term “federally backed index” but are you thinking of either JEPI or JEPQ?
Could be. Or XYLD. Agreed, the federally backed is a touch strong haha.
I think it was XYLD. Wow 9% yield but definitely market risk there, definitely not backed.
Over looking comfy.
Definitely. Just not as comfy as a few days ago, haha.
I swear if we crack 5808 tomorrow, it will be absurd.
Edit: I will blame Jim. 
Holding on for dear life. But we are surviving.
More of a sweat than I was expecting when the survey was first formed, but the overs have it!

(Bloomberg) – Carvana Co. was accused by prominent short-seller Hindenburg Research of impropriety in a report alleging that the auto retailer’s subprime loan…
Remember when there was talk here a couple years ago about shady things going on at Caravana as it seemed to be headed to zero? But then the stock staged a remarkable turnaround and went $300. Looks like it’s headed back down.
I know we’re in a new year, new survey, but yikes, we just cracked it… closed at 5778 today.
We are in for a fun ride

Now we have two things to look forward too each new month this year: new lease #'s and reciprocal tariffs.

This was free and would’ve made the average person a substantial amount of money via options shortly after the market opened today. Don’t say I never did anything nice for anyone!
The average person shouldn’t go anywhere near these instruments. I used to dabble in uvxy and it can get bad fast…
How about that gold tho. I might have moved everything into bonds and gold too early but seems like it was a good one.
Can’t argue with that. Especially writing puts or calls. At least when you long calls or puts you can’t lose more than your original outlay.
Gold has been punishing to shorts. Love to see it. Long term I still think big things ahead. A quick 10-20% shake the longs dip wouldn’t surprise me before that though.
Silver still highly manipulated but the mother of all short squeezes could come.
I actually started buying some rhodium etf bc you just can’t get physical anywhere close to spot. That’s up like 40% last month. ATH was 25k but with global instability it can get back there I think. Most of my other commodities are up huge as well. Trying to decide whether to take some profits there or not.
