Does the default still happen if the takeover occurs first? Rather, is this a Fannie Freddie domino scenario for Chinese industries?

no one wants that, this is a dumb game they play anytime there's a dem president. everyone will vote to raise the debt ceiling at the 11th hour, even if it means the dems give the GOP whatever they want, which will probably happen

Is it possible we might finally get a market correction but not through a market crash but through inflation? Is there some metric that measures "net stock prices", i. e. stock prices with inflation substracted?

There's all sorts of things like this:

https://www.multpl.com/inflation-adjusted-s-p-500/table/by-month

Measuring long term inflation is fraught though. US government has done 2 major revisions to how inflation is measured. You go pretty deep into what's either crackpot or see-er of truth territory if you go down those rabbit holes. John Williams of shadowstats is one such person and calculates inflation using old government methods.

For very long time horizons probably the easiest measure is the Dow to gold ratio but that's pretty rough too because the way the Dow is calculated is pretty goofy.

There were a high amount of puts open, people closed them at the bottom. This meant that if the other side of that trade is an MM they are delta hedging by shorting SPY. So when they close it the MM covers, buying SPY back and pocking the difference between their hedging and premium and the person with the put they just sold may double down and go long further adding buying pressure and making more people more likely to let go of puts. As we go up the MM doesn't need as large a hedge so they start covering their shorts that hedge the put. So even if it expires worthless that put is now fuel to make number go back up.

the put:call was over 1.0 which is pretty drat high. (it's down to 0.8 but we opened at 0.6 so more puts have been loaded but still less than yesterday).

No, he very clearly just makes his numbers up out of nothing (or by adding a offset with some variance to the official number)

It should be very self evident that the US has not been experiencing 10% annual inflation for the last 20 years. poo poo compounds, and there are no prices that are 6x 2000 levels. (or with his lower ~6% estimate, even 3x 2000 price levels)

Not even lol healthcare or education (which ~doubled in that timeframe iirc)

Now it might be an interesting exercise to actually do what he claims to do, but he ain't it.

I was trying to write that as neutrally as possible and still left room. Should have put in a "purports to." I only know of him because he gets mentioned by other people. Not endorsing him.

My point is just there's not really an accurate and precise measure of inflation over periods longer much longer than a business cycle so doing a stock market to inflation comparison is always going to be rough.

That's the problem though, inflation prices into many stocks, because the companies themselves can theoretically adjust their own prices to match inflation. Inflation hurts stock value much less than standard alternatives (bonds and cash are being eaten alive by low rates + inflation).

Inflation is more a danger to the actual economy and growth itself but not necessarily to stock market value.

Although, honestly nobody has any clue what the future holds. We're in very uncharted territory economically with global low interest rates and high inflation.

If I buy a leap today for April 2024, in 2021 and I sell it after October 2022, it's taxed at long term capital gains right? Year and a day etc. That seems to be what I've read so far

Also, I'm guessing that they explicitly disallow writing off option costs as a business expense when you exercise the option, even if you claim day trader status?

Prior to the market uptick recently, what the hell is going on with Chinese stocks this month? There's been days where everything's red on my watchlist but companies that are well known going to get slammed by Xi and the CCP like Didi are green? Xi wants Chinese companies off the US market, I can understand behemoths like BABA holding through, but going off the top of my head, I saw tremendous amounts of days of gain and green this past month on, I think the ticker is TEM or TSM, which the description my brokerage provides as a Chinese-based foreign language education within China (so not teaching Mandarin), when Xi has killed this entire sector practically this past months almost overnight with long-standing English schools, the practically to "teach English in China" being non-existent where those who were teaching are doing it under the table privately with families which Xi made illegal a week or so later, taking other "white monkey" jobs that are fewer and far between or just flat out leaving China. Maybe I'm bitter about losing a lot on BABA when the CCP hit Jack Ma and ANT Group hard right before earnings, but it makes no sense that sinking ship companies in a country that is turning more isolationist are going up to me, especially foreign language education which took a hard crackdown by the CCP this past month. The only stock I see benefiting outright from CCP is NIO since Tesla is popular but they literally pull over Teslas in major tier cities "for inspection" because Xi doesn't want Chinese people owning Teslas. He saw the mistake he let Apple take over the phone market with iPhones in China whereas he wants Huawei and other Chinese makers to flourish, so he's trying to push out any foreign new tech or at least cause mass inconvenience by having Tesla drivers constantly pulled over by police that it forms a loving queue just to delay them over an "inspection" to dissuade people from buying them.

Don't exercise a leap! At the very least sell it and buy a weekly for the same strike exercise that and pocket the $1000 or so difference.

They're the only bonds I hold (not a lot). A problem is that the price of bonds is inversely related to interest rates, so if future interest rates go up relative to now (likely but not guaranteed), the bonds would decrease in face value. So while VTIP does negate the sting of inflation relative to other bonds, it would still be expected to decrease in value if future interest rates are raised. I do think they're the best bond option right now.
