Frankly, I'm new to this, so I'm still learning about trading so as not to lose money at the very beginning. But I am interested to know your thoughts on this topic.

Tesla beat on the top and bottom lines, yes, Tesla is on the role right now and can we see the stock go over $1000 per share?

  • CEO Elon Musk promised to give a “product road map” update.
Here’s how the company performed:

  • Earnings (adjusted): $2.52 per share, vs. $2.36 per share expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv
  • Revenue: $17.72 billion, vs. $16.57 billion expected by analysts, according to Refinitiv

Revenue rose 65% year over year in the quarter, while automotive revenue totaled $15.97 billion, up 71%, according to a statement.

Energy generation and storage revenue was $688 million, which was down 8% and below the StreetAccount consensus of $815.1 million. It was the lowest revenue for that division since the first quarter of 2021.

Stocks fell sharply Monday, pushing the S&P 500 to a fresh 52-week low, as the market sell-off continued and traders struggled to find their footing from last week’s big market swings.

The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 450 points, or 1.4%. The S&P 500 fell 2.4%, while the Nasdaq Composite lost 3.3%.


The S&P 500 traded as low as 4,003.17 on the day, as all sectors except for consumer staples dipped into the red. Amid the losses, the benchmark 10-year Treasury note yield hit its highest level since late 2018, trading well above 3%.

“This is significant repricing, this is significant dislocation and this is all being spurred and driven by Federal Reserve policy,” said Jeff Kilburg of Sanctuary Wealth. “The only way I see us finding the bottom in equities short-term, the only way I see markets healing is if the Fed has the ability with the tools in their toolbox to calm down interest rates. The 10-year note needs to go back under 3%.”

Rising rates continued to crush technology names such as Meta Platforms and Alphabet, which fell more than 4.3% and 1.7%, respectively. Amazon, Apple and Netflix all fell nearly 3%, while Tesla and Nvidia dipped more than 6%.

nvestors in Hershey Company (Symbol: HSY) saw new options become available today, for the July 1st expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the HSY options chain for the new July 1st contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.

The put contract at the $220.00 strike price has a current bid of $4.90. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $220.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $215.10 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of HSY, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $223.75/share today.

Because the $220.00 strike represents an approximate 2% discount to the current trading price of the stock (in other words it is out-of-the-money by that percentage), there is also the possibility that the put contract would expire worthless. The current analytical data (including greeks and implied greeks) suggest the current odds of that happening are 99%. Stock Options Channel will track those odds over time to see how they change, publishing a chart of those numbers on our website under the contract detail page for this contract. Should the contract expire worthless, the premium would represent a 2.23% return on the cash commitment, or 16.26% annualized — at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost.

Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Hershey Company, and highlighting in green where the $220.00 strike is located relative to that history:
