Blood on the street for Tesla as Elon Musk remained deeply divisive where you'll either hate him or tolerate him 😏 Still, Tesla is at 50% discount off all time high and a potential rebound may be possible. Mr Trump will let his political donor billionaire to go down this way. True enough, Trump endorsed Tesla in front oof the White House lawn even though he for sure don't like EV cars.

I opened $SOFI 20250328 9.5 PUT$ ,SoFI: collect 3.45% premium from these cash secured put with strike at $9.5. Contracts expire in 3 weeks on 28th Mar.

However, most of those news didn't suppose to impact SoFI except a potential recession where workers might not be able to service their debt and default from their loans. This is still a far away scenario and I think market will swing wildly a few more times before this even happens. I'll take my bet for a swing up on this trade and take short term profits.
