    trading ~~ 107, the chart for NFLX looks awfully bullish

    decided to double up my bets on NFLX, a 30-point bullish PUT spread, this time using the 7-17-26 expiration day

    • buy to open the 90 strike PUT contract, currently ~$17 out-of-the-money
    • sell to open the 120 strike PUT contract, currently ~$13 in-the-money
      • collected a premium of $13.9, defining my max risk of $16.1
    i am betting that, at expiration, both contracts will be out-of-the-money

    Was thinking about selling some to take some gains but Mama says "never interrupt a beanstalk when it is growing into the sky, jack!".

    Hc wainwright and Canter both say strong buy. I like their clean looking buildings. There's also reputable X members supporting. The CEO looks like a young Bill Gates.

    I took some minor positions in EWY and EIS ETFs...which is South Korea semiconductors and Israeli companies ETFs respectively. Their share prices have been growing like mad in the charts but the P/Es around each are only 20-ish and 18-ish so not overvalued.

    Tesla stock was up on earnings. Then, Elon spoke. Hard to understand him this calI but the stock dropped on the mention of large capex spend and negative cash flow expectations for the remainder of the year. Stock dropped like a rock. lol

    Provided Tesla and SpaceX are two separate entities, do you think that some will sell Tesla so they have funds to buy SpaceX?
