OT: Stock and Investment Talk

Can’t wait until we see updated valuations of Twitter. I’d say he got his moneys worth at this point.

Yeah that goes for all of Musk’s companies. Hard to separate fact from fiction but the media is reporting that Trump is consulting Musk on appointments. Trump would have won no matter what, but it’s starting to look like Musk and the crypto industry helped buy this election with the House and Senate. I didn’t realize how the crypto super-pacs targeted key battleground candidates. It sure worked! I’m completely torn between enjoying looking at my accounts vs. we may have a real fundamental issue with the election process.

@T2Kplus20, do you know anything about GPCR (oral weight loss drug) and HUMA (growing small vessels for wound repair, being used in Ukraine)?

Would there have been an issue if the other side won spending 3x the money on “endorsements” from Lizzo, Beyoncé and Eminem? Or if Soros being able to buy 200 plus radio stations and having it fast tracked prior to the election had worked? It happens on both sides, in this case one just did it better.

This isn’t about one side vs. the other. It’s just a problem if any gov’t is that blatantly influenced. And I’m not suggesting Wall Street hasn’t done this for years. But you didn’t see Jaime Dimon running daily lottery payouts and partying in West Palm Beach on Election Night. The whole Musk thing is kind of crazy.

Agreed, I’m just prepared for the whining to be louder (not saying you’re whining, just in general) because it’s Elon and not the usual machine that does it behind the scenes.

BONK!!

BONK!!

I bought some a few days ago! Thank you @Rutgers Chris

ZETA though. Giving back all the recent gains.

Buy the F out of this dip. Great earnings report with massive raise for revenue and guidance. 6 analysts already increased price targets to the $42-45 range. But all good things need a breather from time-to-time! LOL.

 

[Rutgers Chris]

BONK!!

FYI…10B market cap was my target. I might be aiming low

Bought TSLA 11/22 300 puts yesterday. Sold them today for a 50% profit. Tried to buy TSLQ and my ML account said no.

Did it make up for your recent TSLA related losses or are you still in the red vs. Elon? :)

No, still down from my last YOLO puts. That’s why I’m double YOLO this time.

Now you’re talking! If a play doesn’t work go to 2x. If that doesn’t work go to 3x. If that doesn’t work go to call options! There’s always a way to dig out of a hole.

CAVA = CABOOM up 15% in AHs.

I did get back into ZETA around $28…trying to fix my mistake of bailing at $22

 

[Caliknight]

Not really. I’m old and am able to navigate the nonsense with savvy. In fact I have a four year supply of sneakers already. I pity younger folks who will have to endure four more years of the nonsense. Just today, Elon Dogecoin indicated that he is in full agreement with MAGA Senator Mike Lee’s tweet where he says Trump should end the Fed. Has to be one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard on many levels. Truly infantile stuff.

Federal largesse is going to get scalped. And rightly so.

CAVA has been a wagon this year.
