    What do you think of autonomous company MBLY, who is partially owned by Intel, which is now getting money and backing from NVDIA?

    Uber and Lyft are not profitable.

    last week, AMZN settled w the FTC to pay a $2.5 billion for alleged deceptive practices in signing up PRIME members.

    since that annoucement, AMZN has risen from 218 to 221. decided to participate in the run-up to the Xmas holidays.
    my price target is >245 by the holidays

    sold this bullish 30-point PUT spread, using the 12-19-25 expiration, collecting a premium of 13.25.

    • buy to open the 200 strike PUT
    • sell to open the 230 strike PUT
    i am willing to risk $16.75 to win $13.25; at expiration, should AMZN trade above 230, i get to keep all the premium

    I wouldn't be upset if people were to burn and vandalize 3rd party autonomous vehicles. Good luck though.

    Costco's earnings release was last Thur, 9-25-25; it beat estimate on all metrics.

    today, when COST was trading ~~ 916.5,
    a bullish hammer candlestick appears near the bottom of the current down trend
    it has been generally accepted as a signal of a trend reversal to the upside.

    decided to sell this bullish 75-point PUT spread, using the Dec 19-25 expiration.

    • buy to open 875 strike PUT
    • sell to open 950 strike PUT
      • collecting a premium of $34.78, which defines my max risk of 40.22

    should COST close above 950 at expiration, i get to keep all the premium;
    my price target for COST is >960

    About to see if I can make a quick $25-$40k on BROS. Holding GLD/IAU/BABA is getting boring.

    How'd you lose (even briefly) on BABA? Does nothing but go up. Dalio couldn't even kill it.

    Rigetti is the new nvdia. My friend that didn't want to buy at $5 keeps sending me screenshots of the rise.

    My biggest hitters this year are rgti and iren.

    I got in before all the chaos started with Trump's first term trade war. And, then the Chinese government basically did a number on BABA. Jack Ma left. It just snowballed. I chose to invest in BABA in a retirement account for its potential to continue to grow over the very long term. It wasn't a very fun ride but it's back on the right track. Thank you, AI!

    looks like once folks knew this Qs delivery numbers were gonna be higher than expected, due to pull forward from losing the 7500 credit..
    it started pumping a few days prior.....
    and got sold on the news.

    lets see where it settles. EDIT: first stop is probably the gap around $400..

    holding shares.
