Earnings decelerated the last couple of years and have no flattened, but will grow again, she expects by 7%. People are excited by this name for its robotics, AI and self-driving cars. It's not only a car company. She had sold in the $200s the January $400 strike price. Tesla has a beta of 2. Be cautious going into earnings on Jan. 23, because there's some hype in the $400s.  More normal would be the $300s.

Dell Computers

Just bought it. Will benefit from SMCI's woes. Also, in AI, hardware cannot keep up with demand. She bought last week at $130 and sold January $145 calls and got over $7 in call premiums. It's a good trade for the next few months.
