    Certainly possible! Another important thing when events like this happen: the importance of selling calls near/at/above cost base (or price you're willing to sell for). You can get under water very fast, but that's no problem if you're happy to let a contract expire. Of course you could be...

    Ok. Byebye 225 CC for next week. Let’s see what we can do with that contract tomorrow.

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    To (sort of) keep track of the SP I rolled 220 CC for friday to 225 CC for next week, even got me some dollars credit. Also rolled 7/21 225 CC to 12/16 270 CC. Those are shares I wouldn't want to lose, if we get a pullback, I can still roll that back in. If we don't, I can still go further for a...

    Good idea, planning to do the same, but with a 220CC. Might combine rolling for premium and slight strike improvement when possibile.

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Holding 220CC for this week gives me the opportunity to relax and see what the SP does (even if it goes above the strike price). First time since the stock split I'm in this situation because I was able to average down. Now I'm curious how you guys would handle this situation. My purpose isn't...

    I would let them go and buy some (50%) shares back higher, 20 or 30 dollar is nothing if you’ll hold them long term. Sell puts with the other 50%. If we rocket higher you gain twice, should we go down you can maybe buy back 50% at a lower strike by getting the puts assigned.

    So actually you're saying we might stay flat here ;) . Most important part to remember is don't panic if you're under water. You might think a position is lost, but most of the time the SP revisits certain levels or gives you opportunities to get out. I feel like there's still some upside...

    Are we seeing inverse Elon here? Another example of a stock market being irrational… Seen it many times you keep on thinking the SP will keep rising only to stop at a certain point and go down again. Of course, we are still way from ATH, but I can’t see us moving there right now.

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    I'm seeing you being very careful selling CC's (also because you have the position to sell a lot, of course), but seeing the price action of the last weeks, is it still really worth it going further OTM for lower premium in your opinion? It's not like 207.50 is completely safe right now. Those...

    At about 202 I rolled 200CC for this week to 6/30 215CC and opened a 220CC for 2 for next week.

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Discussed this with a colleague this morning and a +- 200 P/E for NVIDIA isn't sustainable in my view. So buying shitputs to anticipate a pullback might be golden. But very short term this may be moving the market a bit. TSLA was at 185 after market so hoping to get a bit higher today. Closing...

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Selling puts after a 25% rise (we'll see what happens today, but could be something like that in regular trading as well) isn't a good idea as well ;)

    Closed 7/21 200CC at todays lows for about 8. Gave back some premium, but waiting now to get back in with double amount of contracts and closer in time.

    Guys, always look into other stocks as well. Polestar, Lucid, Rivian are up like Tesla today. Don’t think today is really Tesla-related.

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    This is, of course, my own opinion, but I would've rolled those already for shares I don't want to lose (when we've hit 180). If not the case, I would sit it out a bit and let some value out first, unless we see 190 or higher, then I would roll next week, same strike or a bit higher, to gather...

    Sold 6/30 190 CC for 4.52. Prefer going further right now than weekly. If we head down a bit the premium fades very quickly, so chances are big I’ll close this early when there’s an opportunity.
  22. SebastienBonny

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Nice spike here. Difficult to know when it's the right time to step in, but looking at 6/30 190 CC right now.

    Bought back 6/16 185CC for 3 and gave back some premium from last weeks (this contract was a several week roll), but want to see what the shareholders meeting will bring and not taking risks.

    Calls had to be saved, guys: Tesla to recall over 1.1 million foreign and China-made cars - Chinese regulator Wow... the OTA is actually the regenerative breaking update. This is getting too silly.

    Initial reaction like expected (small bump), but I really don’t know this will drive us a lot higher. Always thought the distraction thing was way too exaggerated.

    I think he means you lose when it gets ITM. Of course all option prices change quickly when that happens.

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Rolled 5/12 175 CC to 5/26 180 CC for 1.3ish. Not taking any chances and rolling early. If we do get a pullback soon, I may close this contract early or roll it back in.
  29. SebastienBonny

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

    I suppose 215 is their short term target. 5 million cars sold in 2030 seems rather low, considering 1.8 in 2023. You already reach that when selling 15% higher than the previous year...
  30. SebastienBonny

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Still holding 175CC for next week (opened last Friday). Didn't get any chance to close it early for 60%+, because we are trading rather sideways these days. Might consider rolling it one week further today or tomorrow to add some more premium.

    5 is 24 EPS, not 23.
  32. SebastienBonny

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    I think his major reasoning is 5 24 EPS @ 30-40 PE. Sounds reasonable to me now, but we all know stocks aren’t completely explainable and certainly not TSLA.

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Chances are big we don’t reach 180 at 5/05 close, but it’s still a long way and 60% in such a short time span is too much to ignore. In Q1 I kept a 150CC before earnings and we all know how that turned out. Then again, keep on rolling it would’ve made it almost closable by now 🧐

    Just bought back 05/05 180 CC for 0.62 (sold for 1.55 last Friday) or 60% gain. Grabbing what I can and 60% in 2 days for a contract that expires only next week is a no brainer. Opens up the shares again for new opportunities.
  39. SebastienBonny

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Very good advice. Premiums are low right now, so you might be tempted to take higher risks. I prefer going a bit further (2 weeks) for a higher strike and better premium. Of course there are more days til expiry, but if you can sell several contracts, you can alternate.

    It’s only Belgium, I know, but other countries may follow: I saw several news items being more positive about the way Tesla handles their business right now. Model Y best selling car isnt’t bad either… But I know margin narrative will stay an issue for WS…

    I’m surprised that is considered untrue for Tesla only and it can’t get away with that, while you see it in the numbers every year.

    I have a 260 put for June 25 and if it ever gets executed I’ll sell the shares and split the put into two with lower strike. You already have 6 280’s so I guess you could go to 12 200’s if you have the margin.

    Hoping for a little bounce today. Not the first time initial reaction was pretty bad to recover a bit one day after. Watching Max Pain somewhere between 180 and 185 was the spot to finish the week, but volume suggests this could have shifted to 160-170 for the week. Debating whether selling CC...

    On the other hand... Maybe some analysts will see yesterdays numbers as positive, because they expected worse and Tesla is holding up quite good in difficult macro-economic circumstances.

    This is a transition year I think. We have CT coming and Megapack ramping (my guess is 20 GWh by eoy), so I think we will be rather flat for quite some time. My catalysts are CT ramping, Megapack full production and a compact model. We're looking at 24 or 25 to achieve this and to see it in the...

    Question is, what was priced in? As these numbers were sort of expected by WS, maybe 180ish is our stop for the end of the week. Don’t forget we were trading above 200 not so long ago. Rolled my only open contract 5/12 200 CC to 7/21 220 CC yesterday before close, just to be sure not getting...

    Bonzai! Some say people won't buy a Tesla now, because prices will keep dropping, but they forget a couple of things: - Some people are happy with the current price (or any price) and buy anyway; - Doubters will wait until Tesla raises prices again and wil buy then to avoid even higher prices...
