Full interview: Ron Baron with @elonmusk $TSLA youtube.com/watch?v=GwfLkE…

@elonmusk Coming up with a new product is hard. Finding a new locaiton for a new factory is easier. You should had just build a new plant to make optimus.

Custom orders of the Tesla Model S & X have come to an end. All that’s left are some in inventory. We will have an official ceremony to mark the ending of an era. I love those cars. This was me at production launch 14 years ago:

@wholemars @JamesSurowiecki Best to hold it because you will be taxed like crazy on that big gain.

It has outperformed the S&P 500 over the last five years, and radically outperformed it over the last ten years. (It was $15 ten years ago) I have been holding this stock from $4 to $400 and you want me to sell it now that my car is driving itself? And then you dismiss it as a “cult” and hold an index fund instead.

The persistence of the cult of Tesla stockholders is odd. Over the past 5 years, Tesla is up 63%. The S&P 500 is also up 63%, but its total return is 71% with dividends. So Tesla has underperformed the market as a whole, with a lot more volatility. Why the unblinking faith?

@BillyM2k Yes because their meals are cheap ! lol

would you date a hot vegan?

@dezmondOliver Their artist suck, that’s why. lol

Why does the new spider man look so incredibly cheap and geigh compared to the real original best ever spinderman from 2002?

@_SFTahoe @amitisinvesting Tesla needs to advertise ..

You, of all people, know stocks trade on discounted future cash flows — not today’s revenue. What’s the value of dominating lift to space as the real Space Race kicks off? Of a sustainable moon base? Or a foundation AI model that isn’t starved for compute or chips while everyone else slams into energy walls? Starlink’s airline revenue is barely reflected yet — carriers are still installing the units. But once fleets like United’s are fully equipped by year-end, it turns into high-margin, recurring cash flow. Then there are the projects already in motion: • Terafab - in-house chip manufacturing • Starship - truly reusable heavy lift • Macrohard / Digital Optimus - AI agents replacing SaaS • Space-based AI compute - solving Earth’s energy limits • Grok - the foundation model built to win long-term on inference cost Centuries from now, people will laugh at those who couldn’t see the value of the company that launched humanity’s expansion into space. In contrast… what is Meta’s next big thing?

SPACEX HAS OFFICIALLY FILED FOR AN IPO. SpaceX Revenue — $15B, targeting a $1.75T valuation $META Revenue — $200B, currently at a $1.45T valuation Are you buying the SpaceX IPO?

Happy Weigh in Wednesday Y'all! The last 5 months have been a blur, mostly a very happy blur, but I'd like to get back to some of the basics. I'm not where I want to be, but I'm down about a pound from my last weigh in and back to moving in the right direction. I'm certainly blessed that I'm not where I was at the beginning of this journey. Getting an error on my scale, needing a seatbelt extender and in a very dark place. Love you all, Dave

@Raysliquidity Yep. Same here. I'll just post my trades after market close and do it real time in Patreon.

Today's trades. I'll be honest I havent been posting most my trades, I get very minor engagement/ views, nor thoughtful discussion around them. So there's no benefit to posting and making it public for free.

Millions are being made ! $SPY $TSLA

Today’s market strength was textbook. This is exactly what markets do during corrections when they get stretched to oversold levels. As I said just recently, "some of the biggest rallies occur during bear markets and corrections." Today was a perfect example. Traders rushed in after headlines hit that Iran’s president signaled a willingness to end the conflict with the U.S. The Dow exploded higher by 1,125 points. But let’s not confuse cause and effect. The news may have been the trigger, but the market was already set up for a rally. It was oversold and primed. Now comes the part where discipline matters. We ignore the first few days of a rally attempt. That’s potential noise. What matters is whether the market can follow through and whether leadership begins to emerge and proper setups develop. Technically, this is a classic snapback: Indexes that broke below the 200-day are rallying back toward it, while Indexes that held the 200-day are bouncing off it. That’s typical countertrend behavior until proven otherwise. Expect volatility to remain elevated. That’s not where low-risk money is made, but it's certainly where the risk is. Your job during corrections is simple: identify the stocks showing the best relative strength and the tightest price action. Those are your future leaders when the market finally turns. On the macro side, nothing has been resolved. Higher crude prices are still a problem. Yesterday’s rally did nothing to materially bring down oil. The bigger issue is still in play and the jury still out. Oil at these levels feeds inflation, pressures growth, and gives the Fed a reason to stay on hold longer. Yields stay elevated in that environment. To cut through all the noise, I look to the market itself, which has a much better track record of telling us the truth than the politicians, the analysts, the news, and the gurus. The four steps of the bottoming process are: 1. Oversold – The difference between an ordinary pullback and an oversold condition starts with price, but it does not end there. Poor breadth and and a lack of volume confirmed follow through describe a one-sided market, and one not to trust. 2. Rally – Inevitably, the market bounces from its oversold condition. A high-quality rally is broad-based. A low-quality rally is defined by short covering and driven primarily by the stocks that have declined the most. Again, the character of the rally is important to distinguish. So far, we simply don't have enough data to make a confident determination, so patience is the watch word while we wait. 3. Retest – After the rally, there is almost always a retest. The popular averages approach, and in some cases breach, their oversold lows. The key to a successful retest is less selling pressure, such as fewer stocks below their moving averages, fewer stocks, sectors, and markets making new lows, less total volume, and less downside volume. If the retest fails, the process reverts and we generally start looking for divergences during lower lows. In the event of unexpected news, it is possible for the market to recover in a "V" fashion with no retest. In that case, we look at breadth confirmation and participation. 4. Breadth thrusts – In the final phase, not only do benchmark indices rally sharply with few pullbacks, but they do so with an extremely high percentage of stocks, sectors, and markets participating, or what technical analysts call breadth thrusts. In rare cases, the market has skipped step 3. With strong enough breadth, retests are not necessary. The Covid bottom is an example of a pretty powerful V-shaped recovery. Bottom line: This was an oversold rally, sparked by headlines—but not defined by them, and certainly not confirmation of a reliable bottom. Now we watch: --Quality of follow-through --Emergence of leadership --Market internals and model health If the rally lacks quality, if economic pressure builds, or if leading stocks begin to deteriorate, then this remains what it likely is—a rally within a correction. Stay objective. Let the market prove itself. If you are going to trade, do so incrementally. minervini.com

Hello @QuickGiftsPaul. Your company disabled some Hard Rock Cafe gift cards. I emailed @HardRock and they reached out to you for replacements. When can I expect to get them ?

@BoBbyPleWniaK It will reverse course when they release delivery numbers tomorrow.

Well, now bad numbers can be amplified tomorrow. $tsla Back to closing out short calls and adding short put leaps. Heading into a long weekend. This should be fun.

@GregProctor I have to manually put my uninvested cash into TBIL.

@TraderStevee Is it any good compared to TastyTrade?

March 2026 Options P/L: +$46,924.92 📊 March was an interesting options month. The month end options profit was $46k or 4.6% profit /month (55% profit annualized). Of course, not every month will be this good. We were fortunate that Tuesday and today are green days because some of my short puts were starting to get tested. These two green days allowed me to roll out any puts that were at 17 DTE out in time and to a lower delta. Now my portfolio is very well prepared to capture the contracting volatility if it does turn out that the Iran War is winding down. I did sell all my $TSLA at pretty terrible timing (at least from today's perspective) but I created synthetic stock for about 1000 shares should we continue to grind up. My short puts will continue to print if we do.
