$70,000 for hairstyling was a good investment. He should insure his hair for $10 million.

Continuing to GetMoreGoldAndSilver,

Short TSLA

Engage w/ DRD and SBSW

Because there is no such thing as too much of a good thing, and the trades are simple in that except for TSLA managements do not have a lot to do w/ the eventual outcomes from here on out with the other trades. Mostly in the hands of macro god.

As to TSLA, a safe short, because with October 23rd expiration rolling around towards me, much value should vaporize on my counter-party, and am graduating to the next level / tranche of wagers and so have started to short-engage w/ December 18th expiration series of call options.

Noticed that even as TSLA went up this particular day, the call options I earlier shorted did not really go up (neither did they go down), as if all of a sudden frozen, perhaps meaning that gravity of time-decay has taken over from energizing volatility, meaning the near-term calls are safer to short than before as they shall for sure blow up and leave a zero for the RobinHooders who bought earlier and today.

So I did, both added to short of Oct 23rd Calls, and initiated short Dec 18th calls. Am starting the December trades at strike 800. Shall march down to December strike 700 when we are closer to Oct 23rd expiration date. No hurry; TSLA is not going anywhere and won’t get away.



Order of battle on TSLA front looks so ...

Trump says he paid millions in taxes, plays down concerns about debt


WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he paid "many millions of dollars in taxes" but was entitled to depreciation and tax credits and also said he was under-leveraged, having more assets than debt.

© Reuters/STRINGER U.S. President Trump speaks to reporters during a news conferenceThe Republican president responded in a series of Twitter posts to a New York Times report that he paid just $750 in federal income taxes in both 2016 and 2017, after years of reporting heavy losses from his business enterprises.

"I paid many millions of dollars in taxes but was entitled, like everyone else, to depreciation & tax credits," he wrote on Twitter. "I am extremely under leveraged - I have very little debt compared to the value of assets."

The Republican president, who will face Democratic rival Joe Biden on Tuesday night for their first debate before the Nov. 3 election, said he had "extraordinary assets" and boasted a "very IMPRESSIVE" financial statement.

However, he has refused to release his tax returns, as presidents and presidential candidates have done for decades. Trump says it is because he is under audit by the Internal Revenue Service but the agency has said there is no reason he cannot release his taxes while under audit.

Trump has hundreds of millions of dollars in debt amid chronic business losses that he uses to avoid paying taxes, the Times reported. It said it has obtained tax-return data covering more than two decades for Trump and his businesses.

Trump accused the Times of having obtained the tax information illegally, which the newspaper has denied.

He has rejected the Times report as inaccurate.
