Triple witching is why stocks are been manipulated down to meet option positions. All the volatility you've seen in the market have been driving to today's event.
$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ is major player in the futures index, along with $Apple (AAPL.US)$ . Both stocks would be much higher when covid and inflation isn't new. These are both baked in for over a year now.
Tesla would be over $1,000 and Apple would be at $200 already if news media was unplugged for just one week. Today they are on sale thanks to the triple witching volatility we've been seening in action for weeks, which will end today.
Buy all of the EV stocks you can and hold for 5+ years: $TSLA, $AAPL, $Rivian Automotive (RIVN.US)$ , $Lucid Group (LCID.US)$ , $NIO Inc (NIO.US)$ , $XPeng (XPEV.US)$
Yes, Apple is an EV play no matter when they announce their plans. NIO has their NIO Day on 12/18, and while a stretch, an Apple partnership announcement could be a huge surprise.
Keep buying. Keep holding.
