Yo Pit Crazies,

You want to ride the AI wave now?  Try this.

If I remember correctly, way back in the early 90s before the internet became a thing, folks used to use operators and businesses used to answer phones.  As time moves on and what this longshoreman strike illustrates is that, things are going to get more automated, not less.  I think the leader here is Tesla Inc (Ticker: TSLA) with robots and I bought a decent amount of those shares this year.

Also, the next bucket of angst is job replacement.  Again, if I remember correctly, most of the labor prior to 1900 was agrarian.  It is no longer.  Railroad jobs, they are now something else.  What the USA does best is innovate.  It would be nice if politicians remembered how we did that.

AI will make a lot of things easier.  It will help business just like the internet did although no one knew what that looked like.  Is TSLA providing a fingerprint for volume.  Is it a clue for higher prices?

Let’s take a look at it.

The TSLA fingerprint is a little light but growing

Ideally TSLA would have more in-the-money options and there is some growth below $170.  Note again that even though the calls are very in-the-money now, institutions are still holding them.
