They are spiraling up call options. Sell when the machine stalls. They wait for the put options to build, let off a little steam, then wind it up, again. I don't know if what's happening is legal, but that is what is causing it. Also, Tesla is doing more than selling electric cars. They are selling energy and energy storage. I've made a fair bit on Tesla just by watching the option chains. I still have 100 from last March, that turned into 500... then went up to 750, yesterday. In the meantime, I've been doing calls. Also, Palantir is not a company I like, but they are also worth watching the option chains on. I like to trade them. They could be the next Tesla. What is also happening are two important things nobody talks about. The entrance of retail traders into the market. Record dumb money. This makes riding trends WAYYY easier. Get off early, every time. Also, AI companies are using their excess processing to enter the markets. This means record smart money has entered the playing field, as well. These AIs are gaming against retail traders. That is their target. They are looking to take away the excess cash people have stored. However, too many people are holding onto cash, waiting for a dip. This cushions any potential dip. Be sure to have some cash, handy, in case of golden opportunities. If a dip happens, refer to last year as the model for what happens next. I cantimagineeveryone will fall for it again. Not unless they go through with the Twindemic plan or Bluebeam, or something crazy.
