There is a news report in Taiwan that the data given so far on Corona Virus is out by a factor of 10. "Tencent briefly lists 154,023 infections and 24,589 deaths from Wuhan coronavirus" That would put the death rate at approximately 16%, and other major attendant issues for those with severe illness. taiwannews.com.tw I have no idea, just thought I would share the information for it to be critically reviewed. I also find it strange that there is no problem in Africa... the whole continent. Lots of Chinese there from what I know. I am just mentioning that as the source of the outbreak is in China, and other countries do have cases already detected.

Acquired a new addiction, that of shorting naked Tesla calls, this time Feb 21st strike 1,180 @ 12.10, and Feb 28th strike 1,290 @ 10.25 Crazy It is as if the armored car carrying cash dropped bags through the open rear door as it meanders around town unintentionally dispensing largess. Just need to follow the armored car and pickup bags as they bounce from the hood and in through the sunroof. Shall sleep on it and hopefully wake up before market closes, to assess whether to close positions or the short more of other strikes (as high as possible and still keep the premium interesting) and expirations (as near to now as possible so as to close the book and move the bags collected from the liability ledger to the asset balance. I hope Tesla can reach > than 1,180, as long as not before 21st of February, only 16 days to go. I should really wager the entire pot.
