State Street SPDR S&P Regional Banking ETF (KRE)

Subject: The Great Distribution: Dragonfly Doji is a Trap. Skew 158 confirms Institutional Exit.

The current "Buy the Dip" frenzy is nothing but exit liquidity for the protagonists. While retail "gamers" celebrate the Dragonfly Doji support, the CBOE Skew Index at 158 signals a massive decoupling from reality.

The Reality: > 1. Protagonists are unloading: Dark Pool activity confirms high-volume selling disguised as price stability.
2. The $150 Oil Catalyst: Energy-driven inflation is non-negotiable. It negates any rate-cut narrative.
3. The 6,200 Magnet: Once the retail exhaustion kicks in, the "Put Wall" at 6,200 will be the primary target.

Stop playing the casino. Follow the insurance flow (Skew), not the price fluff. The Armageddon of overvalued equities is mathematically locked.

$KRE Breaking: BlackRock just froze $1.2 billion in withdrawal requests at its private credit fund.

Here's what happened:
• Investors in BlackRock's $26B fund asked to pull out 9.3% of their money
• BlackRock said no — capped withdrawals at 5%
• Blackstone's $82B fund saw record withdrawal requests the same week
• Blackstone had to put in $400M of its own cash to cover the exits

Two of the biggest funds on the planet are limiting how much you can take out.

Back in 2009 this was below $19. Hmmm.

Do you think the interest rates for bank loans will go up or down in the next month or two ?

American households carry a total of $17.29 trillion in debt as of the third quarter of 2023 https://fool.com/the-ascent/research/average-household-debt/#:~:text=Terms%20may%20apply%20to%20offers%20listed%20on%20this%20page.&text=American%20households%20carry%20a%20total,and%20other%20types%20of%20loans%3F $KRE

Chart getting very bearish here...
Now 4 months of overhead resistance,
It keeps getting rejected by the 20, solid sell volume in June.
A break of support, which is near, should trigger a solid downward move.

KRE

This is one of the worst looking indexes out there presently and IMHO,
There's apprehension of business expansion and anticipated loan defaults.

$KRE has done very well since the Election. This dip is a good entry point IMHO.

Top 10 holdings by % of $KRE:

PNC
MTB
STI
RF
CFG
HBAN
ZION
KEY
BBT

My favorite website for getting ETF info is http://xtf.com/

In @ $56.46.

Regional Banking is a great place to be. So many positive factors in the next 6 months for large regional banks:

MMJ
Unwinding of Dodd-Frank - regulatory compliance
Unwinding of Dodd-Frank - relaxed capital holding requirements
Interest Rate increases

$KRE is a very smart way to have exposure to some of the largest regional banks.

This Regional Banking sector grinds up

and up over the last 6 weeks. As Yellen threatens rate hikes this year, this ETF is airborne and going to fly high for 12+ months! IMHO.

How we Greece effect this ETF?

We are about to find out. Stocks are taking 2%+ hits in Asia, but what will US interest rates do in this situation?

My guess is down & down.

Buy the dips?

Nice week! All things considered.

Volume is back on Greece easing,

Greece worry drove down interest rates for a while Friday to Monday.

Yawn...

I am out for awhile,

...Took a nice little profit.

...Waiting now for a market break down of 10% or more before buying and holding KRE for about a year.

Cheers!

Lower 10 yr. % equals lower KRE,

I will take that relationship, considering the FED's plan to raise rates this year.

KISS

KRE looks topy ST after dovish FOMC Statement,

and hawkish CPI number (dovish core CPI number).

http://investorshub.advfn.com/boards/read_msg.aspx?message_id=114677106

I am out for a week more or less.

Let's see if it corrects ST.

Price bouncing above & below waiting for FOMC

RATE DECISION. Hawkish statement will help KRE and dovish not so much.

1.5 hours and we will know the ST trend. Long term trend is up as experts expect 2 rate increases this year and 4 next year. The S&P may not like that, but should be the LT exception. OCICBW

Ditto again today! eom

Holding up reasonably well in down market,

Next week is the inflection point for KRE in my opinion.

FOMC MEETING WILL BE MID-WEEK!

What Regional Banks are telling Us:

http://finance.yahoo.com/tumblr/blog-what-are-the-regional-banks-telling-us-200756140.html

The KRE ETF is based on the SPDR S&P Regional Bank index. It contains 89 holdings, and the the top ten names only comprise 13% of the fund, which means it’s highly diversified within the sector. It’s got just over $2 billion in AUM, so the KRE is not responsible for driving the stocks it is comprised of – the stocks themselves are being bought.

The trailing-12 month yield is just 1.6% on KRE, meaning this is not going higher as part of a chase for yield. Investors presumably seek capital gain when they buy KRE, as the annual dividend here is not greater than that being offered by the S&P 500.

Up 1% yesterday! Up 1% today! NICE!

I am holding long until year end!

Higher rate expectations drive banks higher:

http://www.cnbc.com/id/102730551

KRE has a positive cuter longer term thanks to the Federal Reserve going forward. Banks will make more profits under higher interest rate environment!

Pre-market looking good today,

After an excellent day yesterday.

Well good timing there, Theo,

And I am trying not to time this one but hold it until the FOMC makes clear its real plans.

That is the plan, anyway.

Good luck!

Agree- I bought some today for the first time ever.

Time to light a signal fire here,

KRE is a rising interest rate trade for the next year.

We shall see if there can be a renaissance here.

It will not take much when this is post #25 by the 3rd poster ever.
