oh god... that's all i have to say

market already knows about benanke dialing back QE and the timeline of August has already been thrown around A LOT, there will be no shitting of the bed on this one, a small pull back, maybe, a sideways market for a bit while we catch our breadth, yes.

in the end of the day, dialing back QE is healthy - it's a sign that stimulus is no longer necessary to save the economy, that the economy, while still shaky, has legs to stand on

i definitely don't think you should play options given what you just posted, unless you're playing on technicals only

I think its ok to jump into any market immediately. you just have to paper trade it and know it well enough that... you know what you're fucking doing.

if you wanna jump into options right away, understand the mechanics behind options and paper trade it to hell and along the way you'll probably learn to do all the other basics. read charts, understand reports and whatever.

99% of options expire worthless, but 99% of people that put money into markets lose money overall. so... lol.

Yeah, I asked for your thoughts as I am a little confused about the entirety of the situation as I don't follow macros that much, thank you for giving me some clarity. And yes I would be trading based on technicals, thanks for all the feedback, definitely won't be trading weeklies right away lol, I do understand some pretty basic mechanics of options, and I have been consistently doing my technical research, I think the next step for me is to paper trade the shit out of them.

Regarding Fed, FWIW, Treasury $TLT roll of 50,000 June $117 puts to 100,000 July $112 puts - June puts sold $4.75, opened 5-13 and 5-15 at $1.67/$2.03
