Negative Divergence as XLK hit an all-time high today … I want to be setting up bearish trades in Tech as Fed pulls back QE in Q1 and economy slows.

Tech has stormed back with XLK hitting an all-time new high today. The pattern is ripe for a put spread into the January expiry.
Notice on the graph below how low volume has been the whole way up to new highs. Also notice the deep discount for implied vol versus actual …
The combination of lower volume and less implied vol is not confirming this up move.
 
I like holding this position against PIT’s existing longs and believe both longs and the XLK short can work in January …

ZROZ is a PIMCO 25 year Bond ETF. It is a bit longer maturity than TLT and give you almost 7% more volatility than TLT.
I like the technical setup of ZROZ, and I think we can get even more bang for out buck with ZROZ than TLT. It has retraced the 2021 downtrend to the .618 Fibonacci and is getting overbought just as we head into the long-term bond supply next week.
I plan to close TLT and ZROZ before expiration and most likely next Friday after the CPI number.
Treasury Supply Next Week:
Tuesday – $58bn 3-year notes

Buy to Open 2 $TLT 151.5/1.50 put spread for $0.62
I added to the initial TLT 147/145.5 put spread for $0.34 … I will add one more leg if the rally extends above 154.
Today’s addition would be timely if TLT closes in negative territory, which would confirm a negative price/RSI divergence … since today’s high price exceeded the July 20th 152.71 high but the RSI only reached 51.07, which is far below the 65 RSI from 7/20.
Here is the current chart showing the Fibonacci 50% retracement from the August High to the March low.

The 50% retracement is 152.40 so a failure here and a good employment number on Friday (consensus forecast is 545k) could set up TLT for a down trade into supply and CPI next week.
Next weeks Schedule
Tuesday 12/7 – $54 billion 3-year Treasury Notes
Wednesday 12/8 – $36 billion 10-year Notes
Thursday 12/9 – $22 billion 30-year Bonds
Friday – 12/10 CPI Report

11.30.2021 09:14 -Buy to Open 3 $TLT Dec17 147.5/146 Put Spread for $0.39 or better – filled at $0.37

Trade Explanation
 
I am putting on the first leg of the TLT bear strategy discussed on Macro Monday. TLT is at the high end of the range, but Omicron fears may drive prices a bit higher in the next couple of days.
However, next week the Treasury issues 3-year (Tuesday), 10-year (Wednesday) and 30-year Bonds Thursday. Total supply will be around $120 billion, and the auctions have not been priced well when the market is near the high end of the range.
This is a good location to put on the first leg of the trade … I would like to add a second leg before Friday above 152.

Today is a day to be adding to Silver holdings and one of my favorite is Discovery Silver (TICKER: DSVSF)
Buying junior miners with results will make you a multiple on your investment in the next couple of years. I pick the miners that are not in production but are proven and that is a great time to get in.
Read my newsletter for details on my selection process and why it works … Here
Discovery has several precious metals projects in northern Mexico, including the flagship Cordero project, which it acquired through a merger with the former Levon Resources.
The company has continued delivering more bulk and high-grade drill results from its flagship Cordero project in Mexico. Best assays include:
110 meters of 110 g/t (South Corridor).
27.4 meters of 279 g/t (South Corridor).
This is a junior miner that retains 100% ownership over a Tier I silver project with a 29-year mine life.
This makes Discovery Silver a prime takeover candidate, likely at a significant premium to discourage competing bids.

ESG backlash is creating a massive energy crisis. The net-zero-by-2050 model built-in zero energy growth consumption, which will be explosive, so the supply demand dynamics favor new highs in Coal.
1. Policy Gauge flashing green
2. Energy is top sector buy
3. ARLP is trading at 10% discount with good support at $10
4. Short Put strategy w/intent to purchase and sell calls. Or for a low risk/high reward Spec buy a MAR17 call spread (see below on both)
ARLP will be increasing its dividend distribution, which reach double digits. So, it could be a great income strategy.
If you are more interested in income and owning stock to participate in Call writing from awesome income this is the trade:
Sell to Open 1 $ARLP Dec17 $10 Put for $0.60 or better – filled at $0.60
 
The US $600bn of pure road and bridge building will create tremendous demand for steel and hence coal needed to make steel, so you can play for this with a call spread.

 Dutch Bros Inc. (Ticker: BROS)
BROS – Owns, operates, and franchises drive-through quality beverage shops. They went public on September 15th and raised $500mm for the company.
They are being compared to Starbucks, although with 182 total stores opened, they are 2.7% the size of Starbucks.
Corporate operated stores numbered 182, while the total stores open was 441 or about 2.65% of the number of Starbucks locations. Currently BROS is operating in the western US. So 1, not having risk to international markets at a time when the world is becoming more localized is an advantage to them.
Dutch Bros caters to a fun-loving, younger customer base. Dutch Bros sells a majority of drinks cold and to the generation-Z clientele.
 
Dutch Bros has a long-term goal of over 4,000 locations from 471 locations as of June 30, 2021. Revenue is expected to grow 36% in fiscal 2022.
This is an excellent growth play, and we are getting a nice correction. There is good support just at $59 based on a high volume trend day higher.
The conservative play is to close the position if BROS closes below $59.

This week we saw a major political change.  That means Q1 of 2022 will provide the launching pad for this home run industry.
Late last week Republican-led cannabis legislation proposed to de-schedule cannabis and regulate it like alcohol.
This is a major turning point and a very bullish signal. I am very bullish on cannabis for next year.
GRWG will be the Home Depot of the Cannabis industry so buy it while its for sale via this low risk/high reward vertical option call spread and you’ll look back on this trade to show people you were in at the beginning of an explosive industry.
Risk Profile
If GRWG settles above $30 on Jan 21, which I believe is a high probability you would return 270% or 2.7 x your invested capital …
