Guess he changed his mind. Musk steps down as chairman (but will stay on as CEO) and pays a $20 million fine. Tesla pays another $20m and will appoint two new independent directors. Board committee will also be formed to oversee his communications.

Ouch. A $20M tweet? Essentially $40M if he has most of the stock. Yikes. I was wondering what went on when he said he stepped away from Twitter on Rogans podcast.

To be fair, he's worth about $20B. For someone making $50k per year, this would be like a $50 fine for him and a $50 fine for the company.

Your point is taken. But I’m sure it’s still a shit check to write because you’re too undisciplined to operate Twitter. |

He's not that liquid wealthy, Daface. He's fairly levered into his Tesla ownership by all accounts. Dunno, what 20 million does but there is a reason he's far more worried about short sellers than most execs. He could be margin called if Tesla drops to the low 200s from what I've read. If I were an investor I'd think it was pretty neat an executive was willing to risk so much. Dudes all in to some extent |

That's some pretty big sector rotation out of financials last week. Banks got a rate increase and it sounds like they'll get another one in Dec. barring the world falling apart. Might be some bargains also, it's covered up in this screenshot but GE down another 7+%. That thing seems to have no bottom. The stock price has fallen so much I think the dividend yield is about back to where it was before they cut it. 4 and a quarter |

Sometimes when I go to check the stock market performance for the day, I have an idle dream that I'll log on to discover that the market is up 75,000 points and I'm suddenly rich. Like, someone invented faster than light travel or something and the market is reacting. Does anyone else ever have those thoughts when you're about to check?

I don't really do individual stocks as a general rule, but I threw $100 at HMNY (MoviePass) a few weeks back as a lottery ticket. Jumped 175% today, so that's fun.

Just bought some GS stock today. Trying to find the value picks in this high market.
Sleeper company, TXRC if you’d like to research yourself. Interesting stuff.
