This has got to be one of the most idiotic posts re: Germany / renewables / fossil fuels I've ever read on this forum. Congratulations. I....just...cannot... my time is too valuable to me to pick your post apart sentence for sentence, but rest assured that you have no idea what you are talking...

There are separate threads for tax questions - better go there, for example: https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tax-implications-of-option-selling.250905/

Seems we're back to normalcy.....MMD in progress.

Really sorry to hear that.

UPDATE: on the further dump today, rolled my 05/20 -800/+600 BPS to 06/17 -760/+560 for $3.

@Knightshade @StealthP3D can you guys take this offline please

Yes, as @mongo also highlighted, you both are probably right. It seems to get better the less DTE you get. Are you on IBKR too? Anyone out here on another brokerage platform can see more granular strikes for 5/27 below 600?

If you take out the "based on earnings last week" part of your argument / thought process - how does it change your supposition?

Technical question: Using IBKR, I'm looking at rolling a May 20 BPS down + out a week (May 27) for a nice credit. However I cannot get a strike of the long put printing in anything other than $50 increments (so I can get +600, +550, +500, but not +545 or +575) ? I know for longer DTE options...

Well...sometimes things turn out differently, than you think. Used the crazy Twitter drop this a.m. to buy back the CCs ... 😅

No offense taken! I'm always open to a good alternate view or non-advice. I understand your points above - it's simple for me - I will keep rolling up and out for a credit weekly until I can't. At that point I will have to decide if I take assignment (plus the tax hit) or buy back at a loss...

Is there a consensus on when the AGM will be held? Back to June as in '17-'19 or later? I don't remember from last time, but how much time between the shareholder approval and the split date?

Yeah...like I said, I will keep rolling these up & away for a credit until I get caught (or we get so close to ATM/OTM that the BTC is worth it). For now I'm happy to immobilize that part of my portfolio to avoid assignment and the mind-bending tax-bill. My long-term strategy for these ITM CCs...

I've been rolling these more or less weekly since mid-March after the fiasco that had us run towards ATH. I originally STO these as 3/18 890CC in mid-March. Always rolling up & out for a max strike improvement and min. $1 credit. I bought back half the position at a loss already couple of...

Considering the good advice of rolling 4-5 DTE to avoid early assignment, I rolled my 4/29 -970 CC to 5/6 -995 CC for a buck this morning. Slowly slowly wins the race, I hope. Will see how the week goes and maybe roll some more. Feels strange to have a strike above the current SP for a change....
