    Ya and there's enough haters to instigate sh**. You may not like it, but not everybody is a Musk fan and plenty would like to see him go down. So it would behoove him to focus on his company than becoming a free speech warrior.

    You do not need to worship the guy or embrace his quirky trollish behavior.

    However to hope for his demise is a bit childish considering all he has accomplished. Without Musk, we would still depend on Russia to get people into space.

    if you would like to see the demise of useless people who take advantage of market manipulation, check out Pelosi.

    I hope your use of "you" is not directed at me...and it's more of a general "you......" because I certainly didn't say anything about hoping he goes to prison.

    I need to get out of stocks all together. I will invest in orange futures instead.

    Out for a 3% gain. Quarter was fine, was hoping for more but in this current market environment I'm content with hitting singles and having cash on hand.

    https://www.cnbc.com/2022/04/15/twi...er-musks-43-billion-offer-to-buy-company.html

    • Twitter adopted a limited duration shareholder rights plan, often called a “poison pill,” a day after billionaire Elon Musk offered to buy the company for $43 billion, the company announced Friday.
    • Such a move is a common way to fend off a potential hostile takeover by diluting the stake of the entity eying the takeover.
    • The board voted unanimously to adopt the plan.

    Under the new structure, if any person or group acquires beneficial ownership of at least 15% of Twitter’s outstanding common stock without the board’s approval, other shareholders will be allowed to purchase additional shares at a discount.

    The plan is set to expire on April 14, 2023.

    i am avoiding it like it's COVID


    but i did make a bet, a bullish 10-pt PUT spread---on BX, which graphically shows 2 dojis sitting on the lower trading channel

    [​IMG]

    BX's next ERS will be 4-21-2022; next X-Div date in early May

    using 4-29 expiration
    • bto 110 PUT, sto 120 PUT---collecting a $4.1 premium, which defines my max risk to be $5.9

    when NFLX was trading ~ 237, down~30% from yesterday's close, when it reported a decline in Subscription revenue, made a calculated bet on it.

    [​IMG]
    sold a bullish 10-pt PUT spread, using 5-27 expiration, collecting $5.2 premium which defines my max risk to be $4.8

    • bto 230 strike PUT, sto 240 strike PUT
    i m risking $4.8 to win $5.2;
    at expiration, should NFLX trade above 240, i get to keep all the premium that was collected in advance.
