    I must admit my buy wasn't built on strong conviction, it was supposed to be a momentum play. I have trimmed the position a last week and am looking to add if it shows more weakness. Maybe just below $10 or so.

    Raffe, thanks for that and I'm happy to see where it heads over the next few weeks as it's an affordable risk. I don't comment often so will take the opportunity to say I've appreciated you sharing your knowledge and thoughts on the thread, as I have others who are well informed (although I still have a complete aversion to crypto currencies despite the 'to the moon' price).

    I also got some INO, almost sold at a small loss last week when it peaked again but left it (maybe a mistake). I Will just wait it out and see what happens does seem to just be heading south. I am very new to this but the markets seem all over the place, some quick wins but also some huge losses. I don't have the money or time to invest heavily at the moment.

    Will just have to let it ride now and hope it's picked up before I retire in 20 years.
    have you called them? they might be able to do the full trade at one time.

    Reading this thread makes me feel like I need a better job with the huge sums you guys invest.

    SMT and BTC will go back up again. I'm holding and just not looking at the portfolio for a while. I'm tempted to buy more Argo. Tesla is hardly getting routed, unless folks here consider a 20% drop in a couple of weeks a 'rout'? And SMT is just at the point it was in Jan. It'll rose again sure as eggs is eggs. One day this week it'll rise 10% in a day I reckon.

    Let's have a look in two weeks time to see how often you have bought/sold your positions by then.

    Sure so it is a case of do what I say and not what I do but there will be people out there looking at this as a huge opportunity to buy

    Bitcoin being down >20% from Monday's all-time high is quite a drop - but let's not forget that only puts it back where the all-time high was two weeks ago. Anything can happen, but you know what my view on crypto is.

    Can't seem to short on IG (regular) or HL (SS ISA). Maybe shorting is just for the CFD/DFT accounts?

    Well not all SPACS trade at 500% premium pre-announcement. This was the craziest SPAC ever. Wouldn't have touched it with a borrowed one.

    Oii. Lost half of the premium in the last 30 minutes.

    Apparently volatility works both ways.

    Best guess for the average price for Tesla's bitcoin position is about $38k - which would mean that their profit on that was bigger than all combined profits from selling cars (about zero) and sale of emission rights since the company was founded. However, due to their accounting policy, they cannot book gains on that position until it is realised, but have to writeoff as soon as it falls below purchase price. At the lowest point today, that was only about 15% away. So the bitcoin bet may actually become Tesla's biggest problem.

    The other problems are well known: crashing market share in Europe and China, no growth, quality problems, callbacks, accounting fraud, looming legal cases because of FSD and also this and this.

    I wonder what would happen if it turned out in their next filing that Tesla had sold all of their Bitcoin.

    Nothing would happen.

    Even if they booked a billion profit on that deal, will do nothing to justify their valuation.

    So its currently down 25% from it all time high ($900),Am I right in saying that a lot of Robin Hooder traders/reddit trades/Tesla fanboys etc mostly buy Tesla shares on leverage (is
    the standard 10 x leverage?)either Margin or puts/call options so a lot of these people will be starting to sweat or are seriously screwed as there positions get closed and this will push the price down further and further ?

    I think it will take a little more downside before the big forced selling begins. Don't think 10 times leverage is what the YOLO traders do, the aggressive ones are sitting on call options which will soon lapse worthless (which is probably the first time they experience that).

    Once Tesla is below $500 there is no stopping, $420 looms large.

    I believe the Reddit folks like 420.69 😉

    I think you are right btw. Tesla is grossly overvalued, 1.4 million per car they produced in a year in valuation iirc.

    Somebody bought 35,000 $700 FEB26 calls when the stock was in free-fall around $610. They bet $30 Mio on that Tesla will be $100 higher in three days. Elon?

    Congress would better spend their time examining that kind of market manipulation than going after Roaring Kitty.

    Disclosure: cost me $50k. I am furious.

    Wouldn't be surprised, he really does seem the type. £30m for a 3 day bet during free fall is worthy of investigation.

    On a separate note I just saw this and can't belief what the Robinhood kids are doing.

    This lad is actually a super smart kid.

    Has a YouTube channel where he does all these challenges. Made his money in E-commerce by dropshipping and stuff.

    I do agree though the access people have to trade on margin now is scary.
