Analysis of trading data prior to the July 13th assassination attempt refutes viral claims that 12 million shares of Trump Media & Technology Group (DJT) were shorted. Reports indicate that trading volume was subdued and the alleged 120,000 put contracts did not exist, suggesting the rumors were based on a clerical error or misinformation.
David Icke's recent appearance with Alex Jones is discussed, focusing on Icke's frustration with the "Mainstream Alternative Media" (MAMS). Icke argues that many popular alt-media figures are held back from exploring deeper truths. The hosts counter that many Chinese migrants are likely seeking economic opportunities and stock options rather than acting as spies, noting that actual intelligence safe houses exist on both sides.
Hillary Clinton is scheduled to be the keynote speaker at the 2019 Cyber Defense Summit hosted by FireEye. Critics noted the irony of Clinton speaking on mitigating cyber attacks given her history with private email server mismanagement. FireEye, a public cybersecurity firm, is expected to provide a significant payday for the appearance, potentially involving stock options.
Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak open the program with travel updates, noting Curry's upcoming trip to Chicago for a Ronald McDonald House charities conference. The conversation shifts to a financial tip regarding Tesla stock, specifically a January 2019 $200 put option. The hosts recount an afternoon of wake surfing on Lake Travis with a former New York banker who provided the market insight.
Tesla Stock Prediction, Netflix Trap Stocks, Short Interest
A former New York banker predicts that Tesla stock will drop to $100 per share by February, down from its current $300 range. The discussion touches on "trap stocks" like Netflix and the high short interest surrounding Tesla. Advice is given to look into put options rather than direct shorting to mitigate risk.
The Terror Put, Dortmund Bus Bombing and Market Manipulation
A suspect in the bombing of the Borussia Dortmund team bus allegedly placed "put calls" on the team's stock, hoping to net $1 million from the resulting price drop. The hosts refer to this as a "terror put," drawing parallels to suspicious market activity observed before the September 11 attacks. The suspect's mistake was buying a large volume of options on the day of the attack.
Healthcare Bill, Insurance Stock Pump and Dump
The loss of the Democratic supermajority in the Senate is discussed in the context of healthcare reform. The hosts suggest the entire legislative process may have been a "pump and dump" scheme for health insurance stocks, which reached 52-week highs before the Massachusetts election. They also speculate that a potential Republican filibuster would be turned into a media reality show.
Dvorak discusses the difficulty of bringing international tech talent into Silicon Valley due to immigration restrictions. He notes that Google's appeal has diminished as its stock price fell from $700 to the $300 range, leaving many employee stock options "underwater." Curry compares this to his own experience taking a company public in 1996, where he restruck the option pool to protect employees, a move he doubts Google's leadership would emulate.
