    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    $NVDA I think we might actually break that support, my AI target was very short term and $967, but I don’t we’ll get there in this run.. could still happen, but I think it’s going to be sub $880, before $960+.

    Still holding it, it wasn’t a full position and I still have insurance on my house and cars. ;-). I may move the SPY level up a tad 495/500, but I’ve got sunscreen in my eye at the moment and can’t see the options charts. ;-)

    Welp, the next level WAS 5200, and now we’re through that.. I still think it’s going to be rug pull, but not before a blow off top. IF CPI next week WEDNESDAY at 05:30 PST, is anywhere near AT or BELOW expectations it’s going to be a very nice call selling day and or ATH in various places. I DO...

    Put/call ratio for SPY May 17 is pretty high, yet VIX is falling.. I think the PUT buyers are going to win, but it could have just been MM taking advantage of fear.. Hedgies still taking money off the table, in some large amounts so maybe they are just freeing up some powder for the impending...

    Maybe this is what you say, when you’re CLOSE to being de-listed? Maybe acquisition target? Even if they didn’t use them/it, they could probably sell the tech to someone else for more $$.

    Entire Supercharging Team Fired?

    Yeah, I don’t really know where the other 130B is coming from, 40% of SpaceX might be worth 70B, I doubt anything else is worth a total of another 60B, but who knows. Dead Bird his ownership MIGHT be 8-10B. But, I do also think that his actual ownership of TSLA is higher than the 12% you list...

    Entire Supercharging Team Fired?

    Not to be pedantic, but the entire company is only worth 571B TODAY, so how would - even if he had 58% - of 571B be 500B? Are you also adding in some portion (42%??) of SpaceX ~ 170B as well to these maths?

    Yes, but, For me, I’m often in this type of ALL IN target (and that doesn’t mean what it means in Texas hold’em)..because that is where I see total value for X at Y timeframe with Zed risk.

    Well, nothing is ever truly safe, but we’ll be past Q2 earnings most likely then (7/17/24?), and Q2 P&D, so unless everyone is just assuming BAD/BAD again, we could rally. All these job cuts won’t add TOO much to reducing negative earnings - since everything pretty much comes with 1-3 months of...

    Well they certainly wouldn’t do it all at once, but as for Lease that has nearly as much capital cost as a used can buy back.. actually more.

    This is something that I have brought up for a few years now since the big RT announcement (and been ridiculed for of course) but based on Tesla saying that RT is the future and that a Tesla in the fleet will “earn” easily 30K+ a YEAR for the owner, at SOME point Tesla should/will want to have...

    Technically the auto market is doing pretty well. Last year was 15.6 million total. This year we’re at a current run rate higher than that. Nearly 5.5m just in the first four months of the year. So something is working I doubt we’ll ever see the 17m years from half a decade ago but 15.5-16m...

    Yeah, nobody believes this. We’ve heard it for half a decade now. I don’t care much about RT, but I would pay ~ another $5000 if I could drive to the airport and then just send the car home. More reliable, less stress, less chance of UBER cancellations - even with Reserve.. but sadly that...

    The numbers about EV “on the road” are a bit of a misnomer and I would argue much higher than 1%… while there are ~ 280M vehicles REGISTERED in the USA, there are roughly ~ 100-110M that are DRIVEN each day. We have four cars, ONE gets ~ 5 miles a day of use on avg.. (ok, technically I have a...

    My AI is telling me ~ $935 for NVDA in short order. I’m going to look to sell more calls again if we get up there. It would take quite a lot to get us back under $800 in the NEAR term.

    5130 is strong resistance.. we’d have to have ppl really change opinion about Fed cuts (which HAVE changed a bit today for July/Sept cuts probability). Then 5180 is pretty strong resistance.. so getting past 5130 and filling that whole gap to 5180 I think there isn’t enough juice for that. I...

    Nope. It’s not about absolute macro destruction/decay and more about seasonality, sentiment, timing and opportunity. All happy moves up in inidividual, sector or overall index moves are ripe for rug pull mkt movements. There is a lot of happy over reactions here, that ends up decaying within...
