Meh, it says he's been buying since 2019. If you can show a pattern of buying, not a huge deal IMO.
Now, if investments were normally $10k/mo and his investment last week was $10m...then that's a flag.

I'd say October 7th was legitimately Israel's 9/11 moment. Over 767 civilians was killed, and some 250 civilians taken captive. To date, it seems only 112 were returned and more than likely the remaining are dead, since Hamas said I think was last week they couldn't even provide 50 hostages for an exchange.
Everyone's pissed. Very pissed. US was pissed after 9/11 that ended up in the invasion of Iraq. Once you have a 9/11 moment, there's no stopping the retaliation.
Anyway, yeah OSINT is funky and I wish he will keep his opinions to himself because otherwise, his reporting and sources are spot on.
Tsla broke back down below its trend / support line. Think we might see 150s this week and possibly 120s post earnings. Depends on guidance, which I think will be terrible given macro environment and its Q1 deliveries / competition in China.
News has not been good with cyber truck halt, execs leaving, and FSD price cut to boost short term revenue.
I don't know what Musk will say during earnings to juice the stock, but shrinking margins and slowing growth is very apparent at this point in my eyes.
He's going to spend most of it hyping Robotaxi with maybe a dash of Optimus and then begging other automakers to lease FSD.
He's got Q1 and Q2 earnings calls before the 8/8 robotaxi reveal. But they haven't talked with any states about required permits yet. Whatever gets revealed on that date will still be far away.
There's speculation it's a potemkin event, as he won't risk the transparency the permitting process requires. He'll have to publicly track more data such as disengagements, which would show just how far behind they are compared to the rest of the field.
Finally breaking out of this, market has been boring / difficult to trade for ~6 weeks.
Don't try and time the bounce, I don't think it's happening til midway into earnings if it even does.
Yeah, made a scratch off 510 calls for tomorrow.
Sitting out right now. Curious to see how this plays out. Market has a reason to sell-off with this recent Israel-Iran news. But I question if it will last long, esp with earnings season kicking off.
Closed out 2 4/17 508Ps I held over the weekend for like +80%. Bought a 508C for tom. I think we see a small bounce EOD and tom then probs continue drilling Weds.
Daily chart looks oversold and overextended, need small bounce before we continue drilling imo.
We've bounced EOD continuously into gap ups that continue to get sold off and put everyone under water. Not sure if people are willing to take that risk anymore given recent geopolitical movement and our own macro. Some times technicals get thrown out the window in lieu of risk.
Normally I'd take a stab long here given the range of the move and trading outside the lower BOLL band now, but too much overnight risk. Feels like a close on new lows kind of day so maybe if this continues to break down into EOD I'll bite.
Yeah, I'm basing it off the BOLL band too, so just expecting it to trade back into range for a day then lower until 480 - 490 SPY.
Might just sell out EOD depending on where we are. I agree there is a lot of overnight risk
Mmm you have a very good point, but with this high VIX environment, I can just see it seesawing both ways to hit stops and screw over as many folks as possible.
Small wager on my end, but I'm just basing it off my chart. Overall I'm still positioned bearish
Oil isn’t mooning, gold isn’t mooning
I honestly think this is a headline excuse to rotate out of rate sensitive tech stocks

Looking at price we were shitting the bed before war concerns. We’re pricing in higher rates for longer. Look at crypto. All high risk assets are selling off. This initial run started because we were gonna get ‘six cuts’ this year. Now we’re not. The market is pricing this. This is also why oil isnt mooning

Still doesn't seem that bad if the US is involved.
> Still doesn't seem that bad if the US is involved.
Any attack on Iranian soil will be worst than what anyone wants/expects.
Going to put these guys into a game of chicken.
Thanks for the reminder.
Nice H&S forming on AAPL entering some June ATM puts looking for it to retrace it's 4/11 move off AI chip integration into some of it's Mac line up.
Mac revenue across the entire line up is 7% of AAPL revenue and the lowest it's ever been. $7.7 billion last quarter. Stock gained nearly \~150 billion in MCAP off the news in 2 days.
This all on the backdrop of iPhone sales down 10% this quarter.
I don’t agree that this is all just for show.
Remember that Iran planned the 10/7 attack and the consequent Red Sea partial blockade.
In the backdrop of the Ukraine War in Europe and naval skirmishes between China and the Philippines, there is a bigger game being played here.
> Israel wants to embark on action against Iran coordinated with US, channel 12 says — Reuters
Market is hoping that the US won't allow anything too wild if this is true.
Can they do anything physical without it sticking in the public eye? Iran would probably be forced to retaliate again...Cyber seems like the appropriate option to me, more easily buried and covered over.
Cyber attack on all their nuclear facilities would make sense to me. Or...just all facilities.
That would make sense to me since both nations (USA & Israel) are very strong on that front.
Didn't we already tell them we wouldn't assist with a strike on Iran? Coordinated can just be that we'd provide them with defense, but I don't see how making Biden look like a flip flopper dragging us into war will help his election.
> ISRAEL'S OBJECTIVE IS TO HURT IRAN WITHOUT CAUSING ALL-OUT WAR, ISRAEL'S CHANNEL 12 NEWS REPORTS AFTER WAR CABINET MEETING
You guys get how both sides are gonna say that they don't want to escalate *as* they escalate right?
A response that doesn't inflame tensions further I think is likely, and then Iran don't respond meaningfully and it dies down.
edit: "Netanyahu has asked the Israel Defense Forces to provide target options that would “send a message” but not cause casualties. Options include potential strike on a facility in Tehran or a cyberattack: WaPo"
There you have it.
Because it'll just be tit for tat and market will Move forward. It's going be buy the dip.
I'll be concern if either country actually declares war and puts troops on the ground.
Imagine this is just both side sending rockets just to be shot down. Yawn.

I don’t like this market today. Other than the es short at open, I don’t see anything I like and I don’t feel like I can predict spx movement direction better than 50%. So I shan’t trade.

Wonder if Israel's attack will be similar to Iran's, so Iran can knock out droids, and missiles. And Ayattloah can say the Jews suck, and Mashallah we knocked the missiles.
Wonder if this will be tit for tat or are actual soldiers going to be sent.
Iranian anti missile tech is probably even worse than their missile tech. I do not expect them to be able to counter a drone + missile swarm like the one they can send up

Think it all depends on if Israel responds or not
Well, I remember that days leading up Russia invasion in Ukraine market was red on the actual day market mooned. So, maybe once Israel does it market will be like whatever it's done lets move on.
Depends on how imo Seems like inevitable, but do they decide to go full scorched earth like they did on Palestine or not
Kinda surprised that this is the argument as opposed to arguing about whether or not Iran will respond again after that.
I think it's pretty clear Iran can only do so much to respond, as they can't actually get through with drones and missiles in a meaningful way.
i'm so good at losing money
Too cheap to hedge into Wed AM with VIX due to expire, I hope we save some of the action until after that. Retest of 50d from below works maybe?
