So yesterday was a psychology experiment. Ask yourself: did you get duped by the big boys and end up losing any of your net position in TSLA yesterday or today? I wouldn't blame you if you did. It's hard, isn't it? This is why the house usually wins.
Try again. Apparently I haven't explained sufficiently slowly and in small enough words. Well, takes all kinds.
And there's no "we". Stay off my side.
I actually think people who are really trying to make a killing from Tesla already bought the calls they needed, and if not will front run like 2 days before indexers start buying. This 5 weeks long front running is nonsense and I don't know a trader in the world with that kind of patience.It tells me that many people (and bots) have investment horizons of less than one week

Could it be the banks that did the secondary? Essentially they knew that the secondary was completed 24h ahead of everyone, engineered a dip to shake the weak hands and scoop some stop loss orders, then bought in trove knowing that the release of this info would boost the stock? Nah, that would be unethical, and they have this ‘great wall’ stuff, never mind...Perhaps you could provide a plausible explanation for Tesla to "hammer the bid".
It is not in Tesla's best interest to drive down the prices. Your theory lacks motive.
The alternative is that Hedge funds "hammer the bid", knowing that Tesla was selling. Moving the SP lower actually IS in the (short, narrow) interests of hedgies....
EDIT: Here's another data point: we know now that Tesla was finished selling on Wed, Dec 9th: The SP went down -$35 between the Close on Wed and the Open on Thursday, so we know that drop was NOT caused by Tesla "hammering the bid". So who was it? Any difference in pattern of selling vs Wednesday?
Cheers!
Poor people skills.
The way puts benefit in this type of situation is to finance buying calls. That's pretty much how I've built my whole Tesla position.Bought them back, or probably rolled them to next week. The bet was on TSLA not going below 589 by expiration in order to profit.
I may open a position tomorrow, write something like 700's for the 18th. Have to see what the premiums look like. Puts aren't really that useful for this sort of situation, I think, as they cap your winnings. But there may be enough premium in this craziness to justify some kind of bet. Probably something small though.
I’m not sure and won’t know until the inclusion event is over and done. On Monday I sold some of the calls that I had bought weeks ago, and then plowed the profits back into shares, most during an early dip yesterday (way too early, so not the bottom) and a smaller amount exactly at today’s opening low. If the SP goes to 800+, then those calls were sold too early, and yes I got duped. I still got an extra 245 shares out of the deal, so I won’t be heartbroken to see 800+. We will see.So yesterday was a psychology experiment. Ask yourself: did you get duped by the big boys and end up losing any of your net position in TSLA yesterday or today?

What’s going to happen with parking lots when most people ride an FSD enabled Tesla?

I'm very happy with my nearly 400 Informative votes even if 90% of them are just Lodger's sarcasm. At least it bumps my favorable rating.I wouldn't read too much into that - I've got more than 8000 "informative" ratings and I'm just posting wise-crack most of the time...

What makes you think the effect is linear?We dropped 8% yesterday when 8 million shares were dumped in the market. Now let’s get a 120% rise when 120 million shares get taken out.
One can dream
I think the "One can dream" sign off implies he doesn't think it is linear. But it would be nice wouldn't it =)What makes you think the effect is linear?
Can you explain exactly what you mean. When I sell puts they are naked, cash (and sometimes margin) backed. When I buy calls they are usually naked. Both use buying power. You are talking some kind of more complex combination?The way puts benefit in this type of situation is to finance buying calls. That's pretty much how I've built my whole Tesla position.
