why no love for AAPL? no AI play? or just lackluster iPhone sales in china?

What’s the earnings play for NVDA? Seems like the stock is priced to perfection. Bigger downside risk than upside potential

is this b/c of the GM agreement to use Tesla charging network?

How is it possible that NVDA gains almost 30%? Massive short covering? This is almost like tsla in it’s prime

what if NVDA earnings are a blowout and they guide H100 sales higher? would you still think a buy the rumor and sell on the news event?

where the support for TSLA? $140's?

nearly 10% jump today. Nice surprise. I wonder if it keeps heading up

^ thank you I'm no where near the 10M+ surcharge. maybe in a few years. lol I will probably take some chips off the table this year and defer some taxes until April 2023. It's too bad we don't have a president that would make it 10% across the board. lol.

ah, but Biden-economics will increase long term cap gains for next year for sure, no?

so, I have somewhat of a dilemma. I have AAPL LEAPs that expire next year jan 2022. It's a sizable position, low 7 figure long term profit. would it be best to close out the position by year end? ie, limit myself to the 23.8% long term cap gains tax? Or keep it till expiration? which is 15...

You know. I was thinking the same thing last March about NIO. It was around $1.50 when I thought about taking a big position. But then I thought it would go the way of luckin coffee. It certainly didn’t. Too bad I didn’t buy now, I’m having the same thoughts about DIDI. hmmm…

I would love to short TSLA or SHOP. The question is when is this market decline supposed to happen. I agree that everyone will prefer to shop online that's why AMZN and SHOP are at nosebleed prices. For some reason the 2008 market decline only needed 700 billion in tax payer funds. This current...
