Familar with puts, just don't use them. Don't know what a Bessent Put is.
With 125% tariffs, will the e-bike market die?

Labeling what has been historically the smart money "emotional" doesn't really accomplish much.
Yes, the smart money has been wrong multiple times. But if you are betting against them you'll damned well need a stronger thesis than that they are "emotional investors". Give me some structural reasons and examples of why they are wrong to make the decisions they are making.
The above paragraph is much of the difference between some yahoo on the internet or CNBC or Fox Business and an actual expert in investments.
Not familiar with that term.

30% for US, 10% for China, for the next 90 days.

The Bessent Put is a term coined by the financial media for a put option that's sold during the current tariff negotiations.

Hilarious... even a Canadian knows who Scott Bessent is...
Would it surprise you that I don't know (or care) about anyone in the Canadian government. They are pretty insignificant in the big world picture.

No, it does not surprise me at all, and go tell all your Governors who beg us to visit and buy your products how insignificant we are...

Don't confuse low key and measured with insignificant. It just demonstrates ignorance
In the big world picture, the Governors are pretty insignificant also. Only significant to their state though; I don't hold my state's Governor in high regard.No, it does not surprise me at all, and go tell all your Governors who beg us to visit and buy your products how insignificant we are...

I’d just note that 30% tariffs are in the same range as the 1929 Smoot Hawley tariffs that made the Great Depression so great.
30% tariffs also likely imply inflation between ten and fifteen percent.
And for all we know the idiot in the White House will throw a fit and change the tariffs to 5000% or something.

Well let’s face it, if he soiled himself on national tv and rolled around in his own ordure. The cult members would praise his brilliance and wisdom.

As mentioned 99.6% of Li battery cells are made within a 100 mile area of each other in Shenzhen. That is where the supply chains have coalesced globally, and where factories, and labor are focused. You can't just move that. Most bike motors are made in the same region. It might have a Swiss or German brand name on it but that is not where it is manufactured. I rely on batteries and motors. And have done my very very best to maintain my relationships there. Ford has a battery factory built with huge government subsidies. They are not about to sell their own battery sock. Tesla also has a domestic US assembly plant that uses Panasonic cells made in China.
