Tsla is the frontrunner and usually a leading indicator of market direction .. lets see, i have cash on standby as well… been waiting to jump into NKE, UNH or UPRO

Wouldn't using actual margin be more ideal than UPRO since you can deduct the interest on your taxes?

Well, I look at as UPRO uses 3x daily long leverage to the S&P 500 Index. You would have to math the cost of margin to yourself after the tax value gained compared to the cost UPRO inccures for its leverage that it passes along to the investor. What it passes along to you is not deductible but they would likely be getting a better rate than you would or however they're doing it with swaps and things.

Might not be worth the headache especially if you're not in a high tax bracket. More or less just a thought.

Im in a pretty high tax bracket and also living in California which has a high state tax as well

But as far as UPRO and TQQQ’s fees… ive calculated that the dividends it pays out kinda makes the fees mild. And also i dont plan to hold them for that long as well.

UNH I got , hopefully bottom ticked that one

Feel comfortable holding that one for awhile tbh. Looking for 450+

Got the shit company UNH at 254

Absolutely despise this company with all my heart but we are in this casino to make money not trade feelings



My thoughts on the company haven’t changed at all lol

Here's a fun thought. Elon pisses off Trump like so many previous advisors, Trump drops him in a social media storm, does Elons lost base come back, or is he now outcast from both sides... that would be interesting.


I think separation is inevitable but won’t be done in a loud messy divorce. Maga does not care for Elon, he will be disposed of by maga just as Vivek was. His liberal base isn’t coming back and the geopolitical meddling really pisses people off. Hitler posts, Canada isn’t a real country posts, Ukraine dictator posts , etc.

Lucid and rivian aren’t bad names to be holding because he’s done irreversible damage to the brand which will have delivery number consequences

However , Tesla isn’t a car company anymore so it doesn’t matter. It’s all about automation now and Tesla remains the world leader in this space


Thats a possible outcome and at this point would be the worst case scenario

Lose support from both sides of America
Losing special privileges for pushing robotaxi agenda
Looking like a clown
Company morale probably shattered due to bad public perception

Yea i thought about this happening when he started being involved heavy with Trump. However, Elon isn’t an idiot.. he knows his boundaries with Trump and maga.






Well it played out 😆

Sooner than anticipated. Let the sparks fly I suppose. Should be a fairly short spat I think until midterms.
