Saqib Iqbal Ahmed - Reuters
Bullish sentiment returned to Tesla Inc's options on Wednesday, as the stock swung between gains and losses following a sharp three-day selloff.
Tesla's shares fell 16% through Tuesday this week after Chief Executive Elon Musk took to Twitter here over the weekend to ask his followers if he should sell 10% of his stake in the company as Washington proposes to hike taxes for the super-wealthy. Nearly 58% said they would support such a sale.

Meme Stock Mania Gave Options Trading a Spotlight. Barron's Took the Plunge.
Carleton English - Barron's
There's more to meme stock mania than retail investors simply buying shares of heavily shorted stocks.
In January, many of the traders who took part in the frenzy were able to boost their returns in names like GameStop (ticker: GME), AMC Entertainment (AMC), and BlackBerry (BB) by buying call optionsâessentially betting that shares in those companies would continue to rise.

U.S. Treasury Market Is Most Treacherous Since Pandemic's Onset
Alex Harris - Bloomberg
The U.S. Treasury market has become a minefield over the past month.

Benjamin Bain - Bloomberg
Gary Gensler, whose resume includes a stint at Goldman Sachs Group Inc., says he's amazed that the hedge fund 2-and-20 fee model has prevailed in the decades since he left Wall Street. In his current gig leading the Securities and Exchange Commission, he's signaling he wants to change that.
The SEC chief said Wednesday that he's asked the regulator's staff to recommend ways to bolster transparency around how much hedge funds and private-equity firms charge their clients. He made clear that lowering fees is a top goal of the agency's review.

Here's how to decide whether the S&P 500 is now heading toward a correction
Lawrence G. McMillan - MarketWatch
After a spectacular run by the S&P 500 index and other major benchmarks, a small decline has begun. Is it a tradable correction? Only time will tell, of course, but our indicators have weakened somewhat, so there is a reasonable chance that it is. It is worth remembering, however, that the period from Thanksgiving through the beginning of the new year is usually a seasonally bullish one, so the time for a correction is relatively small.

Find a Better Job: Wall Street Offers 8-Figure Pay Packages to Woo Top Talent
Hannah Levitt - Bloomberg
The trading desk was just embarking on a second banner year when senior executives started defecting to the likes of Bank of America Corp., Citigroup Inc. and Millennium Management. By this fall, many of the team's heaviest hitters had gone.
The setting wasn't some struggling investment bank. It was the equity derivatives desk inside the mighty JPMorgan Chase & Co. -- one of many pockets of employee turnover that have erupted there in recent months, keeping the company's recruiters busy. Pan out, and it's part of a trend sweeping across Manhattan's financial industry.
