    Larry Ellison has surpassed Elon Musk as the world's richest person after his stock in Oracle skyrocketed.
    Why it matters: The 81-year-old Oracle chairman was No. 2 as of Tuesday, having built his wealth over the course of the last five decades with the rise of his software company.
    Driving the news: Ellison's net worth totaled $393 billion as of 10:10am Wednesday, putting him ahead of Musk at $385 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

    on July 27
    on late Aug expiration, NVDA closed ~~ 178, the 2 spreads i sold became worthless.
    so i got to keep all the premium collected


    trading, post ERS, was volatile; since then it has consolidated ready for another ERS run, on Nov 19,
    w the expected Fed cut as the tail wind,

    based on my TA, i think it will trade around 200

    when NVDA was trading ~~ 178, constructed this 20-point bullish PUT spread, using nov 21 expiration
    • buy to open 170 strike PUT
    • sell to open 190 strike PIT
      • collected a premium of $10.08 in advance which defines my potential max risk of $9.92
        • willing to assume a max potential liability of $9.92 to win $10.08

    in 71 days, should NVDA trade above $190, i get to keep all the premium collected

    BABA has been doing me WELL lately but freaked out about Dalio pulling out of China. It sounds like he thinks they're cooked.

    eat your heart out Spacy
    OpenAI/MSFT partnership has been announced; MSFT is up ~~ 9.6 today, ~~2% rise,
    poised to make another earnings "run up" leading to the 10-29-25 ERS.
    when msft was trading ~~510, sold this 40-point bullish PUT spread, using the 10-31-25 expiration.
    my target is at least 540, heading to its previous all-time high of 554, which was established on July 30, 2025.

    • buy to open the 490 strike PUT
    • sell to open the 530 strike PUT
      • collected $18.05 premium in advance which difines my max risk to be $21.95

    Rates likely to be cut next week. I hope that's the institutional sell signal. Otherwise, steady march ahead towards an increasingly violent wealth gap and civil unrest. Warms your heart to see the richest person on the planet inciting riots in London - fun times. Buy yalls little TSLA. Lulz.

    President Donald Trump floated the idea Monday of companies no longer providing earnings report on a quarterly basis and switching to semiannual instead.

    In a Truth Social post, Trump said the idea is “subject to SEC approval” and would “save money, and allow managers to focus on properly running their companies.”


    “Did you ever hear the statement that, ‘China has a 50 to 100 year view on management of a company, whereas we run our companies on a quarterly basis??? Not good!!!’” Trump said.

    The more likely reason he wants to do it is to obscure the economic picture in-between now semi-annual earnings reports to endure the hardships the party faces around economic realities set forth by his tariff policies and his big beautiful bill. Less opportunities for everyone to react and he can con his way through the longer periods in between.

    I think Trump might be leaving out the part that the government that supports a company might have a 50 year view... or communism.

    consider the source.

    let's not forget that Trump had filed for bankruptcy protection more thant 6 times.
    and that's not counting his XFL football team that went under,

    His Trump university was a con game, so too was his Trump foundation

    constructed this 70-pt credit spread on GEV, when it was trading ~~612, via 10-24-25 expiration
    my price target is ~~~655

    buy to open the 550 strike PUT
    sell to open the 620 strike PUT
    • collected a premium in advance of $28.25, which defines my max risk of 41.75
    should GEV close above 620, on 10-24-25,i get to keep all the premium

    pin ball actions from other co have added much volatility to CDNS

    on 9 Sep, after its competitor released a dismal earning, CNDS drop >30; since then it has been
    consolidating ~ 350. today, news of its biggest customers, NVDA, buying 10% of INTC, provided
    the pin ball action, going up 16, to 362. my bullish CALL spread is finally profitable.​

    got about 4 weeks---going into its next earnings release---for CDNS to go up
    to rise above its previous all-time high of 376
