3 US Penny Stocks With Market Caps Over $100M
These guys expect TSLA to reach $700 a share by August
Twitter lit up this morning after someone put a $4,000,000 bet on TSLA. These guys lit up the $700 strike calls for August 2025… This is odd, considering Tesla only trades for around $350 a share today… In other words, these guys are betting that Tesla’s stock will surge by 100% over the months ahead. In my opinion, that’s an incredibly risky bet. A lot can happen between now and then… Besides, there is a better way to target that same 100% return without waiting until August.
