Investors watching the vertigo-inducing rise—and Thursday’s fall—of technology stocks are buzzing about a single trade, a giant but shadowy bet on Silicon Valley big enough to pull the market up with it.
The investor behind that trade, according to people familiar with the matter, is Japan’s SoftBank Group Corp., which bought options tied to billions of dollars worth of individual tech stocks.

Initially I had a comment about the stock market.. 😇
WSJ, a great time to just be free for a couple months, considering circumstances/economy.~ i.e. I (long time member) pay $120 or so for Amazon Prime. My niece, a teacher gets it for like $45, and some get it for free.

“According to people familiar with the matter” What matter is that precisely? How can they be privy to such information Smh
he's just doing what jesus would do 🤣
Trumps economy is roaring back...as expected
situation is a very simple, after court ruled Snowden unveiled illegal surveilance, that just opened way to multy billion dollars lawsuits against tech giants illegally collaborated with NSA and FBI. And collaborated absolutely all companies
enjoy your money vampires. im sure you all sold your tech stocks yesterday

Were Trump and Abe behind this?
I'm curious as to the expirations and strikes off the open options.
sie_sophie Pass the buck... Deflect the fault..
I highly doubt $50B in option purchases was enough to “fuel” the rally. We gotta thank Powell and our folks over the Fed for that.
Wall Street is rigged. Putin, MBS China are pouring trillions into the stock market to help trump and the RepubliCONs.
Now I understand MAGA 💡! The J is silent... M ake j A pan G reat A gain
How is this not a 9(a)(2) violation?
Either master or last stroke
Oh dear, WSJ. That tweet was crying out for an apostrophe. Billions of dollar worth = ❌ Billions of dollars' worth = ✅ I also recommend Strunk & White. Modern 'journalism' eh? Shocking.
ncsu_blowery what you think?
Nice way to increase the multiples at which your private equity investments are valued
Corruption and manipulation by the fed and big banks
Propping us up one trade at a time. Let it all come tumbling down...and soon.
