So we’ll take a look at some charts on commodities, then USTs, then currencies $$
stevenplace: Jun. 27 at 10:15 AM
$$ Remember, essence of reflation trade is long equities and commodities, short dollar and USTs

$$ As retail investors we should be looking outside of the equity market to help us derive where money is flowing in and out of.
stevenplace: Jun. 27 at 10:14 AM
$$ Now let’s get back to the main theme: the reflation trade. I’ve talked about it every single brunch.
stevenplace: Jun. 27 at 10:13 AM
$$ That way if I decide to take directional trades on individual names, I’ll get some money back if chopped out

For me, if we approach 95 again on $SPY, I’ll be selling OTM aug call spreads; vice versa for 87

$$ Now for the next few weeks ahead, we should be asking ourselves “how will crowd react to price levels, and how should we react?”
