@Gfilche 100 time horizon, ehhh. Sounds like a way to cope with the underperformance.

[Ryan Detrick, CMT @RyanDetrick]

We came into this year and said the S&P 500 would gain 15% in 2026.

In Feb/March, we noted many times to be on the lookout for a banana peel sell-off, but not to panic. We had a regular 9.1% pullback and many previous bulls cut their targets and turned bearish. We never did and doubled down on a 15% year, even when the S&P 500 was down 5% YTD.

In late March we said that things had gone to far and to expect a big rally and we then had a historic Q2 rally.

We noted many times that late June tends to be weak and not to panic, as this was needed to keep the surprise summer rally going.

With new highs happening all over the place now, we don't think the surprise summer rally is over just yet, but we likely will have some usual Aug/Sept/Oct midterm year jitters down the road. As of now, we don't see a 10% correction happening though, probably more in the 5-8% range.

We clearly don't get it all right, but I'd put what the @CarsonResearch team has said up there with anyone else.

@KHerriage I thought you mentioned on your podcast that $1000 for year 2026 is not realistic?

$TSLA Technical Analysis 👇

TSLA remains in a choppy, range-bound consolidation between $370–$440 with Friday's +1.22% bounce to $379.71 coming off the recent lows near $368 while price sits below the converging EMA cluster at $398–$408

RSI at 42–46 below the midline reflects the mildly bearish near-term drift within the broader range

A reclaim of the EMA cluster near $398–$408 is needed to neutralize the near-term weakness while a break below $365 would open downside toward the Apr 2026 structural lows

A decisive move above $440 would be required to signal bullish resumption toward the Dec 2025 highs

You could buy $SPCX today at $153 a share.

Or…

You could sell the 6/17/27 $90 cash secured put and collect $985 per contract today.

That’s an 11% return on the $9,000 securing the contract, just for agreeing to buy the shares at $90 if it’s below that price next June.

If $SPCX stays above $90, you keep the entire $985 and never buy the shares.

If it drops below $90, your effective cost basis is about $80.15 after the premium collected.

Personally, I’m not interested yet.

Once these puts are paying 20% to 25% annually in the $80-$90 strike range, that’s when I’ll start getting aggressive. With the volatility in $SPCX, I think we’ll get that opportunity much sooner than most people expect.

That’s the power of options.

Honest question 🙋‍♂️ 🙋‍♀️

We $TSLA holders have been through thick & thin supporting Tesla and Elon.

We have been told about how Tesla will be the greatest company on Earth 🌎

However lately it looks like SpaceX has overshadowed Tesla.

Has Elon forgotten us?

My $TSLA Covered Calls saga continues. As many of you know, almost a month ago I decided to experiment with a 0DTE covered call trade on all 2800 of my $TSLA shares.

I wouldn't recommend 0DTEs as a CC strategy. Stick to longer expirations. However, it has turned into a worthwhile example of how to manage covered calls when the stock moves against you. Naked calls are the most risky of options plays, while covered calls are the safest. Why? Because when you own the shares (making the calls covered), you can't lose money. Worst case scenario you are capping your upside.

By managing the covered calls by rolling them out in time and strike price, you can avoid getting your shares called away and collect more premium while you do so.

On that first 0DTE CC, I collected $4,480 in premium ($1.6*2800). Through a series of rolls, each time collecting more premium, I've amassed $11,508 in premium. So, if I made no other rolls, my worst case scenario today is that my shares get called away at $495 on August 21 and I keep my $11,508 in premium.

Now compare that result to if I had not managed these covered calls. My shares would have been called away on May 6 at $392.5 strike price and I would have kept the $4,480 in premium.

Which result is preferable? Managing of course. If I had not managed, at today's prices I would have missed out on $43.5 in share appreciation ($437.5-$392.5*2800 = $121,800 in appreciation).

There's three patterns to these rolls that you'll see in the chart below.

Pattern 1: My $TSLA CCs start to get challenged and I need to be defensive. I buy time and distance away from the stock price and collect a credit.

Pattern 2: $TSLA pulls back in share price. So I roll down and pull forward the expiration date. Why? Theta Decay is stronger with a closer expiration and I want these CCs to decay to nothing as soon as possible, giving me a profitable exit.

Patten 3: $TSLA rallies back. When this happens, my strike price starts to get tested again and I need to roll out defensively again.

The key point to remember here is that you must roll for a credit. As long as you keep rolling for a credit, you will continue to accumulate profit and eventually the market and Theta decay will give you an opportunity to exit your covered calls profitably.

This is one of my favorite summer drinks on the planet.

It's called The Suero aka. The Sober Margarita

It’s sparkling water, lime juice, and sea salt lining the brim of the glass.

The sparkling water keeps you full and aids digestion.

The lime juice supports your liver.

The sea salt restores your electrolytes.

It’s healthy, has 3 ingredients, zero alcohol, and tastes delicious.

@hamids True , Tom has been horribly wrong on his ethereum and bitcoin price prediction. He’s a great contra indicator. I follow Tom Lee for many years anytime he has these outrageous price of predictions like Ethereum going to 10,000 and bitcoin going to 250,000 you run the other way
