Did You Enjoy That Face-Ripping Rally?
As ZaStocks explained on X, it was the second-biggest single day acquire in Nasdaq history. The other 2 took place throughout bearishness.
The very first one, on 1/3/2021, took place throughout the bearish market that began in March of 2000, when the dot-com bubble popped. That bearish market didn’t bottom up until October 9th, 2002.
The 3rd most significant one-day rally, on 10/13/2008, took place throughout the bearish market that accompanied the Global Financial Crisis. That a person didn’t bad up until March 9th, 2009.
Any long-only financier who dived back in after those face-ripping rallies lost a great deal of cash over the next a number of months.
What We Did Rather
We benefited from the rally to include brief direct exposure, consisting of on Apple, Inc. AAPL
Did it make good sense for Apple shares to rally more than 15% on news of President Trump’s 90-day time out on tariffs leaving out China? 90% of Apple’s items are still made in China. That rally appeared illogical to us, so we faded it.
We likewise put a number of bullish bets made appealing by the liquidity dry spell due to the relaxing of the basis trade.
Among those was a call spread on iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF TLT, and the other was a calendar spread on Chevron Corporation CVX
