"Neko no me"
Mostly true, with the rare exception of the time Elon called out Panasonic for 2170 production at Giga Nevada. I believe that shortcoming is what triggered "Bty Day" and Tesla's move into cell production.
Very strategic move. "Rare" may be equivalent to "Significant" when it comes to these uncommon occurences (Spoiler: I trust Elon's judgement)
Cheers!

That came right back down in a jiffy didn't it. And here I was hoping we'd have an interesting Friday.

Today's volume is only cranked up to about 3 so far.
Still, that is better than the last couple of days at thirty minutes in.
How long before the market demonstrates once more how the volume knob can go all the way up to 11?

I keep looking at calls, but can't pull the trigger with these premiums. The 2019 period was a great time for naked calls, but I don't see that kind of undervaluation again.
A 1400/1600 call spread when SP was in the $5xx range would probably yield mid 30x if SP hits $1600. What is the reason you chose a naked call rather than a spread?
Whenever I buy a chunk of TSLA, I promise myself to use that to cover some writes. But then TSLA goes up, and it seems like holding onto the stock is less work.
MM’s dropping big sell blocks to end that rally quickly……was there ever any real doubt how today would play out?
Not from what I’m seeing, almost my entire portfolio watch list is green

Ha, I hold weeklies until they expire just to see what happens
Live and learn. So today's spike has me thinking this is how they obtained some of my shares last runup. They let it rise a bit, folks do their day trading sells, but it never gets much lower than the days low, so you wait for a better price to buy them back. Meanwhile, they just got your shares so they can short it even more.
I'm currently a bit lower on shares than average because this seems to be happening again. Time to lock down or buy more I say. I did not sell on the upside down MMs. It's a trick!

With volume already at 6.6 million, we're seeing already half the volume that we've been seeing in a full day of trading recently...and the MMs haven't dropped the price much yet. Good sign so far, though I'm still taking the cautious view.

Well they have to eat that volume in order to keep SP flat, no? That's my general understanding of market making.
If these 6.6M shares traded(maybe 400k in real net transactions) needed to be sourced organically SP would obviously have gone up, correct?
Yup, odds are they naked shorted heavily there to stop that rally and will be spoofing non stop to cap now
‘The global supply chain was not built for this’: freight delays hammer US
Ports, rail yards and warehouses are straining to meet roaring consumer demand as economy recovers

“The global supply chain was not built for this,” said Brian Bourke, chief growth officer at Seko Logistics in suburban Chicago. “They were built for seasonal surges of demand annually. When you have 12 peak seasons in every mode, things begin to break down.”
Edit: More.
Kleenex parent Kimberly-Clark said it “moved decisively” to raise prices in June and the early part of the third quarter to offset inflationary pressure, having previously announced that it would increase prices on a range of its consumer goods like baby care products and Scott toilet paper. In some cases, the company raised prices by double digits.
“So you mark up to your customer, and it becomes a trickle-down effect,” he said. “It really is a problem for everybody.”

Is there really such a thing as “final approval”?
I’m willing to sacrifice a day or 2 to report on this for TMC. Now how do I get an invitation?
