Note: Lost in the list, almost all the way down, is a +626% gain in SLV $55C bought on December 1st. Let that be your guide going forward as to what is possible trading options, even when stopped out.

Now, on to bigger and brighter ideas, read below, to be expanded upon in tomorrow's Weekend Update --- I've already begun this the Weekend Update, due out Saturday, late morning to early afternoon, depending on where you live. The focus in on one of my favorite subjects over the years, Tesla (TSLA). I was out to dinner with my main blonde squeeze Thursday night when my phone went off with a slew of news alerts regarding Tesla, SpaceX and Elon Musk. You can imagine how well that went over as our drinks arrived. As I pretended to shut off the phone, I glanced at the news generating the disruption. Bottom line: A second round was promptly ordered celebrating the potential merger of Tesla, SpaceX and xAI. It's not a done deal, by a long shot, but boy, if there ever was a catalyst to a four-figure price on TSLA shares, this will be it. Let's move TSLA calls to the forefront of our trading portfolio again, with a more complete analysis coming in tomorrow's update. As for doing anything today, your choice, but unless TSLA trades into the $440's before the close (currently $336, +$20.00), no reason not to wait until Monday, until the news settles and more is known about the potential merger, good and/or bad, before jumping in. FAQ: What if TSLA does trade into the $440's into the close? TSLA April Calls Any call on this table works for TSLA's price appreciation prospects over the next 77 days. We will track the highlighted Apr $500C in the Service.
