We have a massive 2 Trillion dollar Options Expiry for today 8/19.

So, did Jerome (FED) & Christine (ECB) simply Juice / Pump the Markets recently to help their “friends & Owners” Sell out of their positions today??

There is volume buying in TLT. It’s trying to stay flat so far. If volume goes away expect it to drop further .Remember when TLT was averaging 150 2-3 yrs ago ? It’s come down to 113. If drops below 110 we could see a huge spike in 10 yr and more market sell off. Market is dependent on who is buying bonds in volume most of us can guess who it is.

you're right - commodities, precious metals, and real assets that has made sense all along - and the MMRI is the best risk indicator - thanks Greg

Please have a read of this article... I maybe wrong, but is this not huge when the leader of the Catholic Church decrees an order to all of his consenting entities bring all funds back to Rome...!!!

Somebody came in at 112 on TLT to buy might be a good place for a call option on it. IMO. But it depends if you think buyers will bid it up
