Oh boy! Sold some 185s and lots of 190+ CCs a little too soon after a $4 pop earlier.

On 2/20/2024 I bought a 185 Call EXP 6/21/2024 for $25.13 as a test to see how I would fair with an extra CC that I do not have the shares to cover. Over the 13 weeks before the sale I was able to sell one extra call at a strike that was closer to ATM then I usually sell at. There was some...

Wall Street doesn't let a good opportunity go to waste. You are right even if this isn't the case they will fabricate sources to point to this way. WIN WIN for the boys. I haven't sold any CCs for this week as we didn't get the bump we expected. Maybe tomorrow.

I'm hoping the same people that shorted GME/AMC also shorted TSLA. Two for one type of deal. Many rumors that people are selling BTC to fund meme coins/stocks. Lets see how this plays out for Wall Street v2 and how TSLA may or may not be affected.

The rate we are dropping we will be at 160 way before end of May. Tesla goes up for 3 days and drops for 13. VERY tiresome.

100% this. I have two reservations for the CyberTruck and for sure I will use one of them. I am waiting for 6 seater configuration or one that is under 80K non founder's edition. We already have two Teslas (Y & S) so I'm not in a hurry especially the share price is so low with higher...

And we are GREEN again. Can we reclaim $190+ by Friday? I haven't sold any calls since the week before earnings. I am itching to sell some. Its like gambling.

IMO any BOD will be deemed weak when Elon is the CEO. I'm not too worried and isn't bother by the current BOD as long as they are doing the work.

TSLA back to the regularly scheduled programming so fast. Hopefully Elon adds a little context to the layoffs soon. Was intending to sell some calls today or tomorrow but not doing it on a down day.

Definitely not smartest but maybe luckiest? Way too many P&D and earnings binary events that gone wrong had me grounded. I no longer want the stress on those weeks as its just not worth it when I can place the bets the following week.

This has to be short squeeze. Almost 200 now and a week ago we (WS) were looking at <$100 as somewhat likely. I have done zero CCs a week leading into earnings. Have done zero CCs since. Share price was too low and didn't want to get caught up in this. I had a bunch of 170-180P assigned just...

Wow GREEN

Are we almost near inverse BTF? Is that a thing?

TSLA can't catch a break. For once we have a positive outlook and the macros is utter crap. I haven't sold any CCs since two weeks ago and now afraid if we have a string of green macros will carry TSLA above 175. Anyone else sold/selling CCs here?

Lots of folks thinking TSLA will be back to business as usual. AKA tank more after this high.

I was lucky the SP drop at end of the week or I would have sold CCs for this week. Always trying to sell CC in a up day. Going to be a little more careful selling CCs down here. Super low chance- Elon still can "pump" TSLA by announcing the first supervised FSD partner. I see no reason why...

100% I can see we move up to 200-220 for "no reason." Just as in the past we moved to 260+ for not much of a reason. We also moved down to 190s Nov 2023 for not much reason. Short term its all a game.

I learned the hard way to stay out (nearly) of binary events. Maybe handful of contracts open on P&D/financial reporting week. The lure of gambling is a thing too.

If it will take a Chinese company 3-5 years to catch up with Tesla on tech/cost then how long does it take for an American/European company? So 3-5 years to catch up on 2023/2024 Tesla but its not like Tesla will just take a nap like the rabbit and wait for the turtle to catch up. WOW.

I think idle fees like we have for the Superchargers will work 99% of the time. The mobile app can have a count down and accumulation of fees for fast motivation. I think a ban would be a bit harsh especially certain unseen circumstances. A lot of times due to children or other distractions...

Sold a bunch of CCs from 185 and up. Make me roll. I have a bunch of 180 & 185 CSPs so will be worth the roll.

Yup need all hope to vaporize before we have a move up. Sad.

Paul died in a ~2005 Porsche Carrera GT driven by a profession racecar drive on public streets. Not to be confused by many of the 911 variants as this car was production limited. The Carrera GT was also known as a widow maker as it did not have any fancy electronic traction stabilizer. Car...

Wow sharp drop under $180. NOT looking good for some of my CSPs.

My highest -CSP are 187.5 and am too willing to take assignment. 180s feels very ''safe'' to take more shares to wheel. I had shares taken away in the 230s so these are due to be converted back to stock.

~$200K was what it took me. I'm a slow learner by nature.

I too "rolled" more OTM 210-215 for this week into next week but lowest strikes are at 215. I see ones that I rolled from yesterday are already ~50% gain. Seems like the first 0-50% gains can be had very quickly if timed right.

"Rolled" some of my -220C from this week to -225C for next week. If this is near the top I would like to get in on the premiums early before they drop. Have few -212.5C and -215C that's in the red right now. Thinking $225 should be safe for next week.

Anyone else having problems with Schwab filling Market Orders? It takes about 5-10 MINUTES at times and been like this for weeks! I noticed it only happens in my regular trading account and not in the ROTH account. In the ROTH account it trades almost instantly as it should with Market...

I hear Apple has some kind of device to attach to your face so you can cook lunch, monitor TMC, trade NVDA ICs and watch your fav Netflix all at the same time.

I don't usually buy puts and just watch the SP drop. This is true with buying calls when the SP drops by ~30%. This kind of changed recently with buying 1 June 185 call so I can sell one extra CC on it. I may have to rethink about buying puts to protect my underlying shares vs just watching it...

Pretty darn amazing. ~205 was high today from ~191.

We are knocking at $200. I may think about selling more than usual if we get $200+ today.

I took the advice on Friday afternoon and close most of the 210+ CCs I opened on the pop Thursday (all around 60-65% gains). Ones that I didn't close now show weak 25-30% gains. With the pop this morning I opened more 205-212.5 CCs. These are my trading shares.

I'm thinking in short term of 1-2 months we will see 200+ again so within this time I can sell ~$195+ strike calls weekly (likely $200+) whiling waiting. Ideally this happens before 30 DTE. It is only 1 contract thus for me it is testing out an idea.

I finally pulled the trigger and bought a call ( June '24 185 C) in one of the ROTH IRA accounts. In the past its nearly 100% selling -P/-C. I made enough through wheeling shares and cash in this account to buy the call first rather than enough to make another 100 shares. The plan is to sell...

It's people's biased opinion that I can careless to hear. Everyone has one. If the conversation is purely on topic and factual then I would like to hear it. Rather its aways the political side of things they WISH to hear/see and amplify. Annoying as heck especially when the share price move...

I sold apple CCs in the past but the low premium didn't motivate me to keep up. How do you find AAPL compare to TSLA or NVDA?

Which fund are you looking to park the money for the 5%?

Can I remind you of last year. Yikes! Ok lets not replay the crazy drop. Good news is I only got back half the shares that was called away via CCs in the 230-235s. Now I can be very close to ITM with CSPs to get more shares back. When we were above 250s I was feeling FOMO and wanted the...

Jim usually gives us an excellent summary. Hope for his post.

Knock knock $250 knock knock I'll admit trying to get my shares back from the CC's that was exercised (my unforced error) 230-235 may not go as planned. Certainly looking likely yesterday but we are getting at $20 reversal ATM.

My first trench is at 235 to get shares back so I'm hoping 235 doesn't hold. If we blow past 235 then I can roll it a little down. Very nice to have this option when its cash secured. I have not opened any CCs for this week as there isn't a nice up day. Have to follow my rules and sell on...

Not sure if the exec producers meant anything. Anyone even the worse of shorts/bears know the story would be only believable if its a Tesla. No other company comes close to this type of FSD scenario. Simply stated Tesla leads the push for FSD tech.

Yes Puts are assigned at the worse possible timing regarding margins. When its bad for you then expect the assignment. In the past I have sold ATM 30 DTE cash secured puts on local lows. I really like the dynamics of these options as there are enough time value that its not likely to be...

Opened -227.5P, -225P, & -220P all CSP from CC that were exercised a week ago. Looking to get these shares back to wheel it again. Also added some 250 & 260 CCs that I don't want it called away but can be managed up and out without much stress. Feelings right now: very conformable with share...

I can use a sell off tomorrow & Friday as I have a bunch of CCs that are 250+ and I do need these shares back that was called away over the weekend. 300 mile range CT would be super disappointing as I would expect nothing less than 400 for a truck. Hopefully beast mode are 400+.

Had a chance to invest in SpaceX 2 years back via first principle investors. Due to wife's restriction from work we couldn't at the end of the day. Very jealous of you all that got to invest in SpaceX!

Its a design fault. On our Model Y the filter is right next to the fins of the evaporator. The fins are very wet every time I change the filter. Why in the world would you design a system where the filter is right next to something damp. Add salt to this poor design with terrible location to...

And I'll forget they invested in a Chinese company/competitor... And all the crap they said about Tesla and Elon... OK forget and forgive.
