Thanks for this. From what I can gather, I did it get half right, I had a feeling it is the fed loaning us the money and not China. China is only an investor which funds only part of our debt. Based on what you are saying I can see a corrlation between money printing and real productivity...

As per my understanding, China, Japan and a few others are our biggest creditors. I believe a few years ago, the debt was 14T, now it's 19T. The US has been on a Deficet spending spree for the last decade and we haven't had a surplus since. Can somebody please educate me where the money is...

Why is this even here!? lol That dip isn't worth people's attention to even look at this stock.

I don't know what the market is looking at. Anyone know about the Forward guidance? They missed Estimates but Market doesn't seem to care... Elon must be making some big promises.

I was told if you used Think or Swim or TD broker, they have TSLA you can short. My horrible broker Scottrade never has anything. Also what's so special about Friday? Why you think it'll drop 7% by Friday? Their earnings are already out. They missed estimates but the mrket obviously didn't...

My broker is not letting me short Tesla. Says there are no shares. Is anyone else having this problem?

Baron, Can you look at WDAY? Their net income is around the same as TWTR but they are rallying hard. Short Interest is almost 40%... So I am assuming WDAY has some edge that the big money is seeing that TWTR does not. I don't think there are enough average investors that are smart enough to...

I love how they are in the red and managed to get more bad press by banning Milo Yiannopoulos. Now this new story is turning into a circus ( not in a good way for TWTR ). Twitter can go to hell in a few years.

I think I know what is happening though. Although their Revs beat expectations, after all expenses paid they still lose a good chunk of money. I would suspect Analyst are setting these Estimates low before they can break even on Cashflow. However, I'd expect this to be factored in to the...

Baron, I understand what you are saying... They are losing money every quarter which is why... I am sooo confused... BEAT EPS????? According this, they been beating EPS every quarter. What the hell am I smoking.... :[ EPS = NET INCOME / Shares outstanding. Since the net income is always...

I am just wondering where the "analyst" are getting this very high EPS beats from. For example EPS for this quarter was 0.13. That's not an estimate. If their net income has been in the red for 5 years, how are they getting 0.13? I use the analyst tab for every stock and this is the only one...

Hi Baron, Thank you for your input. I normally don't look at income sheets, I just look at Earnings Per Share & Revenue. https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/TWTR/analysts?p=TWTR If you look at Earnings history it says they been beating EPS for the last 4 quarters?! How is that possible?? Also...

I fail to understand why this stock is getting it's ass handed to it so much. Current Qtr. 10.00% Next Qtr. 6.30% Current Year 30.00% Next Year 25.00% 0.30 Next 5 Years (per annum) 43.00% EPS and Rev has been on average surprising investors 20%+. Yet this stock has been going down for...

I was under the impresson that it's + last 12 months EPS Than Stock Price / EPS(ttm). I am getting different numbers from my broker, yahoo, and my own calculations. What the hell... For those of you that have Scottrade, Logi has a P/E of 1000+ with an EPS for .01. They've been around...

Ya know Cdaveman, the value between the bid / intrinsic is only .15 cents on your SPY example, but being more realistic, it's an index, if it moves past 243 (30%) I'll happy take my profit and let it expire. If you plan on hold on to it until it expires it's no big deal. Let's be more...

Color me ignorant, but can you please elaborate more on "currency predicament". I know they own most of out debt, that is all. I can google it, but there's just so much information these days. Just give me your short version of it. :)If you are up for it.

Well regardless, I just want to know if you think this strategy is a good alternative to just going long or you think the Cons greatly outweigh the Pros?

Oh ok sorry - that is margin. I was talking about Margin Fees. For example if you go long the underlying at $50,000 (borrowed), your broker would charge you 7.25% that annually. I do not think they charge much for selling options though I could be wrong.

You can always bring it down a notch. It only caps your profit. Only time you lose money is if the stock goes down, which is the same as buying the underlying minus vol risk. Isn't shorting this option a lot cheaper then just buying the underlying? All that extra money you save should be a...

I guess that is a small disadvantage or advantage depending on Vol. If you don't go in over your head selling then the Vol risk is not a big deal. I only care about where it's going to expire.
