In light of today\u2019s flash consumer sentiment reading from the University of Michigan printing at 60.5 and in consideration of the historical revisions being marginal on a relative basis, I like purchasing the \u201cYes\u201d answers up to the 60 threshold for the final publication. The final release is due two Fridays from now on June 27 and the \u201cYeses<\/a>\u201d at 60, 58, 56, 54, and 52 are all undervalued in my opinion. The specified thresholds are currently available at $0.21, $0.42, $0.64, $0.78 and $0.89. Some icing on the cake, by the way, is that positions initiated today will earn interest-like incentive coupons that annualize at 3.83%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note: Prices are highest bids as of the morning of June 13, 2025. Red circles around the thresholds were inserted by J. Torres to highlight his preferred \u201cYes\u201d answers throughout different thresholds. Interest-like incentive coupons change proportionally alongside shifts in the fed funds rate.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
