One of the market's wildest names has lost this week exactly once since 2010

Tesla grades out neutral over the last ten years, which is a polite way of saying it goes up about as often as it goes down, and then this one week on the calendar shows up and the thing behaves itself. The worst that week has ever done to it is a 4.6% dip, which for a stock that routinely moves that much before lunch is the part worth sitting with. It walks in soft this year, having lost the $375 round on Friday.

The two right-hand columns are the whole card: a beat on these names buys you a percent or two, and a miss takes four or five straight back out, with Kroger the least forgiving of the group at -5.6%. Adobe is the exception that isn't really one, since it has essentially stopped missing at all, and the handful of times it did the stock went up anyway.

Broadcom's options are priced at exactly what the stock has already been doing, implied vol and the last month of realized sitting right on top of each other, and implied is at the bottom of the range we have marks for. That is what a stock in a box does to its own option chain: turned away at $375 in late August, then held up at $350 last week.

The index has been flat for a month, up 0.21%, so these relative numbers are close to the actual ones: energy did nearly all of the moving while everything else took September off. Health care is the quieter story, out front on the three-month look as well, and industrials are the group being sold in both windows.
