Most retail traders are trading short term options and buying either simple calls or puts. Sure you might benchmark returns over time vs a risk free rate, but the outcome of your normal short term call or put option is impacted much more by the other greeks.

Comparing a fucking EV robotics solar company to a reusable rocket and satcom company is insane. EVs was simple first mover because nobody cared until Elon, what he's doing at SpaceX are things nobody thought was possible up until they actually happened. It's factorio optimization on production vs brand new proprietary tech with fat government contracts. This sub is brain-dead on Elon.

Dunning Kruger. The battery idea alone was ingenious while at the same time being ridiculed. 8000 laptop batteries with fuses where if any one fails, it doesn't take the pack out vs some big, crappy "automotive" grade battery with less range and life cycles (Volt, Leaf). Elon's "Battery day" and bigger cells had been one of the biggest flops, only overshadowed by the metal trashcan of a truck.

Your leverage on a LEAP is usually 2 to 2.5 : 1 when accounting for premium paid vs just buying stock. So it has its place, especially when you are very bulling long term

Not sure why random comparison with Denmark, is there some tech revolution coming from that country we haven’t heard of? Why not comparing to Bermuda or Luxembourg? What are those terrible margins? Do retailers have better margins? And why Costco’s PE is higher than Oracle’s? Is that justified by Costco’s superior margins or surging revenue or else? AVGO just dropped an incredible ER and it tanked 16% from the last night’s top, was it due to contracting margin? And what the contraction was exactly? All this fearmongering doesn’t have substance because people jump on the hating bandwagon and prefer not to read and compare the numbers. And if you’re so sure, tell me about dot com vs current PEs and margins.
