Yet another SEC agent assigned to Elon Musk

He's going to make sure he gets put in prison right about the same time he becomes the rich-white-south-african-champion-of-free-speech.

Elon is too rich AND smart for any government to lock him up. The Bernies (Madoff and Ebbers), Lay/Skilling/Fastow, and Kozlowski are all somewhat dumb guys that didn’t stay in their lanes.

Should have sold a put this week. Next week is riskier because of earnings.

And the election is the following week. I haven’t sold any options for over a week and bought to close everything but a small short in LABU 10/28 6.5 puts. I think that the premiums for volatility aren’t enough for the expected actual volatility. If MSTR hits $240 I’ll sell puts, but earnings are about a week away. However, MSTR might not be too surprising as they are pretty much foreshadowed by the price of Bitcoin.

Earlier I eyed the end of this month as a possible bottom. Now I'm not so sure.

The market almost always goes up after mid-terms.

However, as hawkish as Fed members have been talking, it really doesn't seem like they're going to stop tightening until either corporate earnings take a hit, or there's chaos in the credit/bond markets. Either way we could easily reach S&P 3000-3300.

Rate reductions are still a long way away. But a couple of .75 hikes have been priced in - so lesser hikes gonna signal the bottom. IMO.

Yeah, I've moved a lot that was in the credit union to short T-bills.

Still confused how Fidelity lists them, though. Some of the listings you click on and try to place an order and it says you need a large minimum (like $100,000) order. Others it goes through. I haven't yet figured out what the difference between the two is.

On the listing most of these have a pretty high minimum (x $1,000) in the parentheses, yet if you click through and find the right one you can order way less than that. I bought only two on the bottom one below yesterday. Just glancing at the list I can't tell which ones have a minimum and which ones don't.
