So how does one extrapolate validity of data on the Dow Index to growth stocks such as TSLA?

Aren’t Boards a legal requirement for publicly listed companies (and even most or all private ones)? Honestly, I don’t see the Tesla BOD as being less involved in operations and strategic development than those of other large corporations. It seems very rare that US corporate boards make...

So the shares he sold a few years ago weren’t similarly restricted?

Holding 24May$175, $187.50 and $190 until later in the week, may roll the $175 even though it’s a buy-write.

Hard to take seriously when you consider the stated policies (or malarkey) of the two teams.

Added a small buy-write: 200 at $174.11 + sto 2 x 24May$175 at $4.08

Often the roll credit will increase more than the remaining extrinsic (blood to be squeezed from the stone), but that can be less than the premium increase Mon vs. Fri.

Agree, but don’t think the model will be considered successful without taking a serious chunk out of F150 and variants.

He just wants to control it without the tedious aspects of being CEO?

And perhaps most importantly to him, there goes his capital for his sci-fi space junkets……..

When I have a position likely to expire like your -c180, I like to identify roll candidates then monitor net credits for several days —> roll Fri, if necessary, otherwise holding to expiration and selling on Monday move up is obviously preferable, when that happens.

It seems rare to have 2 up days after a weak week, but I don’t have stats to define it.

Unless key people were quietly spoken to before the layoff, why would anyone treated so arbitrarily want to return, especially if their previous compensation was messed with?

After 10May$187.50 contracts expired Friday ($187.11 buy-write), sold 24May$187.50 today at $1.49 (closed $0.93). Sold 4x as many 24May$190 at $1.08 (closed $0.71) to add to reserve for buy-back of 16Aug$180 — killed 4 last week, but still have 2/3 of contracts there to whittle down. PS: drove...

We’re going to need some kind of insert for things that need protection from rain. Currently thinking to just throw in one of those rooftop canvas luggage carriers.

Got the Mon AM bump, and sold (sto) 17May$205 (11% OTM, behind the large $200 call wall) for a paltry $1.07. First step in shifting to more cautious CC as we await FSD developments; building a reserve with new premiums to buy down 16Aug$180 if and when we have a $15-$20 dip.

Thinking there is a lot to the idea that interest rate differentials vs. other companies’ financing are making Tesla monthly payments uncompetitive for people that finance and have less than ample income.

I rolled my 3May$187.50 to 10May$187.50 as latter had bumped much higher than the former during this morning’s RMU (random morning uptick), and I doubted same net $2.88 would be available on Monday if I were to let the buy-write expire or assign. Have shifted this smaller account’s strategy to...

Perhaps its algos responding to simplistic headlines, then (somewhat) cooler heads prevail.

Thanks for the link and info. Bummer, was hoping to have temp-controlled camping in the back seat occasionally.

I refuse to believe this little court is unaccountable to the appeals process, an essential element of the rule of law. Can anyone explain Tesla’s future recourse whatever the output from the DE court?

Just did something similar (as posted), plan is to roll in and reduce contracts, whenever possible. Hopefully, won’t have to wait until August to have them expire or roll. There is some chance of SP not advancing beyond $180 by August despite volatility.

Most HR managers with any sense of commitment to employees would have issues with EM’s slash and burn / no discussion approach.

Feeling like I wouldn’t get better timing this week, and unsure when we might revisit $160 (were I to keep rolling weeklies ATM), grabbed the bull by the horns and went out 3.5 months to reset to ATM, and also reduce #contracts by 25% of DITM CC sold prior to ER: Closed 3May$155, $162.50 and...

Isn’t an allegedly weak BOD compatible with his management style?

Could anyone with a delivered CT tell me the dimensions of the back floor space when the seats are flipped up? Thinking about one-person overnighting. Thanks.

What is the argument for a legacy US/EU/UK company to license FSD before L5 regulatory approval and whilst they are deemphasizing BEVs? I can see it for a Korean or Japanese company wanting to accelerate US BEV market penetration.

Yeah, but they won’t get to work for Tesla anymore — where they worked hard, and loved their work and the company. The company will suffer in execution if it turns into a sweatshop where people work hard largely because of threat, in that kind of environment the mission becomes lip service and...

Also, delaying for the China news is a jab and wake-up call to the Indian decision-maker(s) slow-footing prior to the election.

We’re well on the way to giving back 1/2 or so of Monday’s bump.

Max Pain jumped from $165 Monday to $180 today.

Let’s see what happens when the allegedly “smart” money arrives this afternoon. 🤷‍♂️

So the ferocity of this short squeeze suggests the buyers don’t see us tapering off this week?

Or this could be a deal in development for sometime, and EM flew in to ink the deal (akin to head of state meetings). Doubt it was made from scratch in a day………

Tesla had better be on high vigilance re IP protection.

Back into rescue mode, yikes [not funny!] Considering rolling to something like 19Jul$180 to catch 2Q P&D reaction. A shocking combination of SP response to technicals and “news” in the past month, but with volatility comes opportunity (IV). BTW, is pre-market trading entirely algos reacting...

Got nervous at $172 SP mid-day Fri, but held to execute mid-afternoon at ~$169 for a small net credit on same strike rolls of CC to next week — treading water and looking for a drop to $160 in the next few weeks to clear this out and recalibrate 2024 tactics: 26Apr$155 —> 3May$155 (reduced...

Hoping to see $169 in the next hour to do my rolls.

Many folks that want or have to move on just do it, and add $90+ million to the portfolio.

What do you suppose the payback calculation would be on a roof over a 4000 sq.ft. house?

Surprised by this week’s price action, but that’s a fairly typical situation most weeks……. Have the following 0DTE CC: $145 — shares purchased last week at $144 + $5 sto intended as a buy-write = $6 profit; will probably let these assign, then rebuy shares and sto a 4DTE ATM on Monday for ~$4...

You may have to roll out several months to improve strike price significantly. How badly do you want to keep the shares? You could roll at $130 for some time and see if SP drops which will give you more flexibility / affordability to improve strikes.

The deniers continuously come up with excuses how these events are unrelated to climate change. People who want to believe crazy 💩 are everywhere………

In central NC (just west of Chapel Hill) yesterday, enroute to Raleigh

Me: $155 and $162.50, looking like 1-2 week rolls for small credits; may have to let the $145 buy-write go.

A less sci-fi Roadster?

Calling on him first was kind of funny………SNL………

Maybe not enough :)
