TSLA and FB led the tech stocks down. My eyes hurt.
Today FB and TSLA, tomorrow APPLā¦ down and down we goā¦ 
My brokerage only has TSLA options to Feb 18. I want some Jan 19 puts.

You should change to AmeriTrade/ ThinkOrSwim platform if you want to trade options. Best option platform, and started by an ex-Apple badge. I think he left to start another option trading platform 
Iām too lazy to change platform after getting used to ToS. Canāt even remember the name of his new baby.
Interactive Brokers is really cheap. Iāve thought about switching, but I donāt do enough options trading.
Free to change. Their graphing and tools are superb. I have three monitors, one showing this blog & iMessage. The other showing ToS. Another multipurpose.

When Wuqijun buys a Bolt then buy Tesla stock. ā¦that will be the bottom. .500k buyers waiting for Godotā¦Meanwhile GM, BMW, Nissan and others are silently building better productsā¦The Tesla window is shortā¦Musk has at most 2 years to stop lying and start producing. ā¦If not he will just be a battery makerā¦

That means you will never buy any Tsla stockā¦
My point exactly
Besides the money is in the battery
Musk should focus on something that can make money
Although with his ADD focus is very hard for him
They canāt make the batteries thoughā¦
Thatās fineā¦ if you missed out on the EV wave thereās always AI coming your wayā¦
Maybe in 2 years Musk will figure out how to make a lot of batteriesā¦ If not the Chinese willā¦
Renoās economy is betting on Musk batteries, hope he succeedsā¦ a lot easier than building cars

Lithium batteries are changing everything
From power tools, golf carts and the potential for living off the grid with house batteriesā¦ I think batteries are a better short term bet than carsā¦
I am buying lithium miners. No matter who makes the cars they all need lithium for their batteries.
Which ones? I looked at that but I wasnāt impressed with the ones I saw. I donāt get why the growth rates are so low.
Lithium and battery themes have been hot and coldā¦ the last time they are hot is when the first iPod was launched.
I am buying ALB, the largest lithium miner. Stock has doubled this year.

How did their revenue decline from 2015 to 2016 if Lithium is growing in popularity? Q1ā17 revenue was down yr/yr and Q2ā17 revenue was only up 10%. Thatās what I donāt get about these miners. The demand for Lithium is supposedly booming, but the revenue growth isnāt there. The stock doubled while revenue growth is less than 10% in the first half of this year?
For all the excitement about EVās they still only make up a teeny tiny percentage of cars. Buying ALB today is a bet on a future dominated by EV. Maybe you can make a case that the stock is getting ahead of itself.

Reminds me of cell tower equipment makers ahead of 3G roll out.
