Re MLoT <<Mother Lode of TSLA>> Trust your experience has been pleasant so far, even if there might have been some anxious moments. After a few trading sessions of scientific observation, back-testing, and theorising, I think but as yet am unsure, that the start-of-day pre-market-open TSLA ultra-ramp can be safely shorted (safer than playing the casinos), as if one is prepared to do hand-to-hand, and the incursion closed out before market close at very handsome as well as heroic but risk-calculated profit. Am looking at the pile of issued naked calls, and am puzzled why the faith is so strong, that there are folks thinking 1,200, 1,220, 1,500, 1,880 strikes are worth anything at all. Expanded positions against those strong points of faith to test the faith. Also, precaution, migrated the naked call 20th March 750 trikes to 27th March 800 strikes, buying back 1 for every 2 new issuances so as to be cash positive :0) and to out-stick the counter-parties. Am noting that at some juncture TSLA shall make monthly / quarterly announcements, and there can be any number of items that might boost perceptions of value, up and down, and the beast continues to burn cash. Cannot charge the beast as a weak one, for bio-agent enhanced share market re-rating so far hasn't really dented its allure. Good. Heaven sent. Nice cloud-ATM. As and when and if the virus gets more seriously underway and gains traction, there should be a moment clear and direct short attack can be launched amidst the ensuing confusion. Perhaps CDC and the FED and the contending presidential candidate camps shall give us the thumbs-up. In the short run, let's get ready to watch the Olympics, by 2016, 2012, and 2008 videos.

Chinese Shares at Two-Year High Show Market Resilience to Virus

Chinese stocks jumped to their highest in two years, erasing the last of the declines fueled by the coronavirus outbreak.

The CSI 300 Index closed up 2.2% Thursday at 4206.73, on pace for its best week since November 2015. Stocks globally are rebounding as virus worries recede for equities investors with central banks swinging into action. U.S. shares, after their worst week since the financial crisis, are on pace for their best since 2011.

It took Chinese equities just two weeks to reverse a record $720 billion rout last month, part of the resilience its markets have shown in the face of the outbreak. Stock investors have in recent days shifted to sectors like infrastructure which would benefit from fiscal stimulus pledged by authorities to stem the virus’ economic impact.

The Federal Reserve’s interest-rate cut has also added fuel to a rebound in emerging markets. China’s yuan on Wednesday erased losses since the virus prompted the government to order a drastic shutdown of the economy, with stimulus expectations and a weaker greenback supporting the currency.

“Expectations for further Fed rate cuts are helping the markets,” said Banny Lam, managing director and head of research at CEB International Investment Corp. in Hong Kong. The continued slowdown in new coronavirus cases is also aiding Chinese equities, he added, “so the sentiment is turning better. But we need to be careful because this could be just a technical rebound” as Chinese manufacturing production has been modestly resuming.

China’s stock rebound the past month has also coincided with a jump in trading activity. The value of equities changing hands has topped 1 trillion yuan ($142 billion) in 11 of the past 12 sessions, a run not seen since 2015.

Meanwhile, foreign investors have reversed some of last week’s record selling of mainland equities. Average daily buying this week has been 2.2 billion yuan.

But China’s tech sector, which led last month’s equities rebound, has lagged in recent days. The smaller-cap ChiNext Index, which was recently at a three-year high relative to the CSI 300, is 3.4% below last month’s best level.

Investors rotating into infrastructure firms and banks may continue, said Guo Feng, an investment adviser at Northeast Securities Co. Some fund managers might move money into those sectors, he added, as authorities may be looking to keep tech from overheating. E-Fund Management Co. announced there will be a maximum size for an upcoming tech exchange-traded fund.
