The entire community is outraged.”","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":149,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":316533447,"gmtCreate":1611936628489,"gmtModify":1704866334902,"author":{"id":"3573017639938463","authorId":"3573017639938463","authorIdStr":"3573017639938463","name":"ZackFu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/274eb347332592465ed80a96e12ef54c","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573017639938463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Bubbles?&nbsp;","listText":"Bubbles?&nbsp;","text":"Bubbles?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/316533447","repostId":"1181933127","repostType":4,"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":160,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":318605915,"gmtCreate":1611849546237,"gmtModify":1704864785893,"author":{"id":"3573017639938463","authorId":"3573017639938463","authorIdStr":"3573017639938463","name":"ZackFu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/274eb347332592465ed80a96e12ef54c","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573017639938463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"Today losses?&nbsp;","listText":"Today losses?&nbsp;","text":"Today losses?","images":[],"top":1,"highlighted":1,"essential":1,"paper":1,"likeSize":0,"commentSize":0,"repostSize":0,"link":"https://ttm.financial/post/318605915","repostId":"1164966993","repostType":4,"repost":{"id":"1164966993","pubTimestamp":1611820885,"share":"https://ttm.financial/m/news/1164966993?lang=&edition=fundamental","pubTime":"2021-01-28 16:01","market":"us","language":"en","title":"Tesla Guides for 50% Growth in Deliveries","url":"https://stock-news.laohu8.com/highlight/detail?id=1164966993","media":"The street","summary":"Elon Musk automaker reports first annual profit, though fourth-quarter earnings miss expectations.Tesla Inc  -Get Report  said it sees deliveries growing at least 50% in 2021, while it reported fourth-quarter earnings below estimates after the bell Thursday.Tesla didn't provide specific deliveries guidance for 2021, but said it expects 50% average annual deliveries growth \"over a multi-year horizon.\" The company added that \"In some years we may grow faster, which we expect to be the case in 2021","content":"<p>Elon Musk automaker reports first annual profit, though fourth-quarter earnings miss expectations.</p>\n<p>Tesla Inc&nbsp;(<b>TSLA</b>) -Get Report&nbsp; said it sees deliveries growing at least 50% in 2021, while it reported fourth-quarter earnings below estimates after the bell Thursday.</p>\n<p>The company posted fourth-quarter non-GAAP earnings of 80 cents a share on revenue of $10.74 billion.</p>\n<p>In the latest quarter, the company had been expected to report a profit of $1.02 a share, on sales of $10.5 billion, based on a FactSet survey of 20 analysts.</p>\n<p>In the same period a year ago, the company posted earnings of 42.8 cents a share on sales of $7.4 billion.</p>\n<p>While the earnings missed expectations, they did cap the first full calendar year of profitability for&nbsp;Elon Musk’s electric vehicle maker.</p>\n<p>Tesla didn't provide specific deliveries guidance for 2021, but said it expects&nbsp;50% average annual deliveries growth \"over a multi-year horizon.\" The company added that \"In some years we may grow faster, which we expect to be the case in 2021.\"</p>\n<p>Tesla delivered just under 500,000 vehicles in 2020, suggesting that it sees this year's numbers topping 750,000.&nbsp;Analysts are looking for deliveries of 800,000 vehicles in 2021, Bloomberg reported.</p>\n<p>The stock has risen 109% since the company last reported earnings on Oct. 21.</p>\n<p>Tesla’s China operations contributed significantly to the year’s performance, as its Shanghai Gigafactory ramped up production quickly after coming online early in the first quarter of 2020.

The sharp rally caught short sellers wrong-footed, forcing them to buy back shares at a loss, appearing to further accelerate the rally.\nSee:How an options-trading frenzy is lifting stocks and stirring fears of a market bubble\nOne such short seller, Melvin Capital, was effectively KO’d earlier this week, requiring an infusion of nearly $3 billion from hedge funds Citadel and Point72 Capital. On Wednesday, Melvin Capital’s Gabe Plotkintold CNBCthat the firm’s short position was closed out the previous afternoon following a huge loss.\nAlso, Andrew Left of short seller Citron Research, in a video posted to YouTube on Wednesday, said he covered the majority of Citron’s short position in GameStop in the $90 price range.\nThe GameStop phenomenon, and its reliance on options-related activity by individual investors, can also be viewed as the latest chapter in a story that’s seen derivatives and supposedly sophisticated financial strategies wreak havoc in markets.\nIn a Twitter thread, quantitative finance pioneer Emanuel Derman laid out that history, beginning with the spread of portfolio “insurance” in the 1980s, developed by finance professionals using the Black-Scholes options-pricing model. That dynamic portfolio “hedging” was blamed for amplifying the October 1987 stock-market crash.\nIn the 2000s, credit default swaps made it easy for less-sophisticated segments of the finance profession to trade credit, contributing to the financial crisis, he said. More recently, options and futures based on the Cboe Volatility Index, or VIXVIX,+61.64%,“and the notion of volatility targeting for protection, made it easy for relative amateurs to trade volatility too, formerly also a professional skill,” he said.Investors who had aggressively bet on a long stretch of market calm continuing got a rude comeuppance in February 2018, when the VIX spiked, forcing the unwind of short bets on volatility andblowing up some popular trading vehicles.\n“It’s all part of the trend of using derivatives that make it apparently easy to do difficult things, which, when a few people do them, isn’t too bad, but which fail when everyone does them,” Derman wrote.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":137,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0},{"id":310665857,"gmtCreate":1611325144779,"gmtModify":1704859593855,"author":{"id":"3573017639938463","authorId":"3573017639938463","authorIdStr":"3573017639938463","name":"ZackFu","avatar":"https://static.tigerbbs.com/274eb347332592465ed80a96e12ef54c","crmLevel":2,"crmLevelSwitch":0,"followedFlag":false,"idStr":"3573017639938463"},"themes":[],"htmlText":"AMD

More recently, options and futures based on the Cboe Volatility Index, or VIXVIX,+61.64%,“and the notion of volatility targeting for protection, made it easy for relative amateurs to trade volatility too, formerly also a professional skill,” he said.Investors who had aggressively bet on a long stretch of market calm continuing got a rude comeuppance in February 2018, when the VIX spiked, forcing the unwind of short bets on volatility andblowing up some popular trading vehicles.\n“It’s all part of the trend of using derivatives that make it apparently easy to do difficult things, which, when a few people do them, isn’t too bad, but which fail when everyone does them,” Derman wrote.","news_type":1},"isVote":1,"tweetType":1,"viewCount":137,"authorTweetTopStatus":1,"verified":2,"comments":[],"imageCount":0,"langContent":"EN","totalScore":0}],"lives":[]}
