    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I wonder if your questions are just based on the one photo and sarcastic comments on FB or whether you have been to this SuC. This SuC is 3 miles away from me and is next to the largest shopping mall in the South West of England. It gets very busy during the day and can be full with Tesla...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    As someone who has sold wholesale connectivity to MVNOs and had colleagues who have dealt with Tesla on B2B level I think Tesla will have very, very attractive data rates; they negotiate continent wide deals; they have sunk costs in terms of having to have their own upload and download when not...

    Advanced TSLA Options Trading

    Don't forget that $30k gain (if successful) will have cost you $4,700, so not quite the 6x your money, unless I am reading something wrong.

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    I am waiting for my TSLA shares to transfer to IB to allow me to start doing covered calls. Have not even thought about using margin, but good to know. If I get stuck on usability of IB platform I might ask for some advice...unless you know of some good IB tutorials...thanks.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Question for UK-based investors: after buying and holding shares for a couple of years I might be ready to get more adventurous. I only have 800 shares that are not in ISAs, but selling covered calls is an acceptable risk before i dare think about other options. I use a couple of very basic...

    Oi - I just bought 70 and hoping the Americas will walk it down to 790 and 780 for my other buy orders to execute :-)

    GME and AMC stock action (out of main)

    The problem being in the UK is that my broker is very slow and can only manually place orders for me, but I have stuck some random sell limits in there early @ $950; $4950; $9,950 and then a couple of jokers at $99,950 and $999,950 that I fully expect to hold next week. Quite a few Robinhooders...

    It was a bug. They have already rolled out a fix and new reports show it does not work. Usual go fast and break things approach knowing they can patch just as quickly.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Ah - good to know. Cash account, but pretty simple online broker. Still surprised they did not buy between 9 & 9.30am NASDAQ time, but no worries.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Which brokers or entities actually get to buy AH and pre-market? I placed an order at 5.30pm in UK yesterday for 126 shares @ £415 limit, but hoped to snaffle them lower than that. Throughout AH and pre-market they were at £380, but my broker did not buy until US market had opened and got them...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Finally seen my dividend shares in UK account. General thanks to this forum which is the only one I really read in TMC anymore. Despite so many Bulls it is actually the caution and counter-arguments herein that encouraged my fairly risk averse approach to HODLing. Took me a while to buy shares...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    I doubt this will be massive benefit to Tesla as a lot of their UK showrooms are in shopping Malls that will likely remain closed. Also, they seem to be doing loads of test drives near me anyway (not sure how that works), but I had to do repeat visits to the pharmacy which is pretty much the...

    Kinda disappointed that I have 5.5% degradation after 18k miles

    Age often has bigger impact than mileage. Yours is 2 years old? I did my first 18k miles in less than 9 months.

    Big car....

    Bigger than ideal but 4.5yrs later no major problems. Parking it is probably the easiest of all the cars due to the high quality camera and sensors, except I still struggle to park dead-straight between lines and multi-storey car-parks can be a right nuisance (entrance and pillars). You also...
