Musk had to sell to pay taxes. The immediate gain on the value of options issued as compensation is taxable income. If he has a million options at $5 strike price then he owes taxes on $1000-$5*1,000,000. He has to sell a lot of those shares immediately to cover the taxes on the ones he’s keeping.

So who's going to fall off the economic cliff first - us or China? It's a race to the bottom and everyone's doing their best to pump long enough that we end up having someone to blame.

They've got a railroad sector that is in debt a trillion dollars, unprofitable in the good times, and will suffer greatly if the economy tilts down as it is. Its also a source of national pride and prestige so I really doubt that they'll tolerate any cuts to it. Its going to be a massive millstone around their necks for a generation.

All their debt is going to make buying more us dollars to keep their currency low harder and harder.

Looks like an opportunity for short with decent odds to me.

On the bright side, EU gas prices seem to be pushing upward again. A much-welcome boost to that part of my portfolio.

O&G dividends this year are beautiful - got more than double what I did in 2020. Oil is still struggling to break the $80 floodgate, currently pushed back towards $70, but unless we get back into significant lockdown mode it's only a matter of time. Nat gas prices heading towards the moon. Hoping for some chilly winter weather to push them even higher, but even with average winter those prices are going to have upward pressure for years.

Lol when it comes to global finance 1 billion is just small potatoes. Reverse repo just hit 1.7 trilly for two days in a row now.

Market is looking very green today but instincts tell me it’s gonna dip shortly after. I set my stop sells on my volatile positions lol. Sadly NIO is one of them, why that stock continues to go up and down like it does is beyond me.

Tesla Inc. delivered 308,600 vehicles worldwide in the fourth quarter, smashing the previous record for the electric-car maker and setting a capstone on a year in which the company joined the exclusive $1 trillion market valuation club.
