We've been seeing a lot of big (AI induced) moves in the market recently. And the FOMO seems to be back again. That human trait often ends in tears, so I'm being cautious with my moves: rolled 10 x -p160 for this Friday, which were only $0.06, to 10 x -p170 for next Friday, receiving a net...

Are you sure that's the correct strike, premium or date? I don't see those prices for this Friday.

This thread is now permanently closed because of all the political posts and other toxic content.

Are NVDA’s option premiums really that much better? The stock is higher ($307 at close versus $184), which already explains part of it. But NVDA’s current premiums are also not representative: IV is very high because of today’s earnings. That will soon come down, just like it did with TSLA in...

No typo. Rolled up from p165 this week to p172.5 next week. BTC was $0.11, STO was $1.83. I’m trying to keep the SP in sight with my strikes, otherwise the premiums are even more terrible than they are now. I don’t want to get too close, but it’s not the end of the world if during a correction...

Rolled 10 x -p165 for this Friday to 10 x -p172.5 for next Friday. Net premium received was $1.73. Ofcourse this was too early... I also have 10 x -p160 for next Friday, a position opened last week.

No, not allowed. It would become a mess. Suggestions can always be sent via PM though. But if pertains to the subject ‘antics/Twitter/public perception of Elon’, then don’t bother. This thread can’t handle it, as history has shown.

Someone couldn’t resist and had to introduce the subject ‘Elon’s antics’ again. I’m shutting it down again. Please don’t force the mods to intervene so often; they prefer a low profile.

I think the rally will be short-lived. We’ve seen this kind of exuberance many times before, only to see the stock drop back again. So I’ll avoid moving up my put strikes too agressively. That’s just my personal feeling though, certainly not advice. For years we’ve been saying: ‘poor OEMs...

It’s not just retail buying calls, big players are also involved. Today’s option volume was over 2 million calls and puts. Retail does not have the means for such volume. Those options represents 200 million shares. Not all of those have to be immediately hedged by market makers, but a...

I doubt this is institutions getting in, with no substantial news expected for the next few months, plus the macro uncertainties (even expressed by Elon). It feels more like massive call buying and the hedging as a result of that. Remember, TSLA is by far the #1 place for option trading and the...

The weekend is over. So is the discussion about capitalism.

I did this for a while for family members in 2003-2004 (payment: 25% of the profits), but I found it to be very stressful. Putting your own money at risk is a whole different feeling than putting other people’s money at risk. So despite it being profitable I stopped after a year. Too much...

That could turn out to be a golden move. It's starting to look mighty squeezy.

It's tempting to close the -p162.5 5/26 and -p160 6/2 after just one day with 65% and 40% profit, but I wouldn't know what to do after that :eek:

I’m assuming that not much will change today and tomorrow, with expiry probably around 175, so I BTC 10 x -p160 5/19 for $0.04 (98% profit) and STO 10 x -p160 6/2 for $1.46. I had to go two weeks out to get any meaningful premium for that strike.

Rolled 10 x -p162.5 5/19 to -p165 5/26 for $1.66. At the moment I prefer time in the market over timing the market.

Sorry, today I’m way more visible on TMC than I want to be. But I love this thread and the wealth of knowledge it provides. Pro-Russia posts are allowed, but what we mainly get is people just tossing in controversial tweets like grenades and not adding any coherent thought themselves. It pulls...

Looked at closing this Friday’s -p160 and -p162.5 for 90-95% profit and opening new short put positions for next week but the premiums are not great. I’d rather wait for a drop.

Okay, everyone had their chance to rage post about Elon. That must have been a relief, but it ends now. There’s a reason mods moved this discussion (which is mainly about Twitter) to the Off Topic section. Every time someone was offended by one of Elon’s tweets, and that happens a lot in...

Enough! If you want to vent your personal frustration about what Elon says on Twitter and in the media you can go to the special place we've reserved for this in the Off Topic subforum.

Guys, there are too many posts here which belong in the main thread. Please keep it focussed on options and the stock movement. Commenting on everything Elon does or Tesla does is not okay. And Twitter is a deadly sin.

There’s a reason moderators closed the Elon Musk thread and moved the Elon and Twitter thread to the Off Topic subforum. They all degenerated into toxic quibbling. So has this thread over the last few days. TMC does not lend itself to venting political or societal frustrations, anyone who feels...

The stock is indeed looking weak compared to macros. It started on Friday after those rumours surfaced. We've lost 7% since then. Wall Street has always said they want a stable full-time CEO, with Elon in a more technical CTO-role. But now that it could become more than just a theory they...

Please keep this thread on track by not responding to political posts or off topic posts. The person responsible already got hit by the mod hammer. Dissenting opinions are welcome, trolling is not.

The edit button appears when you tilt your phone to landscape format. There have apparantly been some changes to the website over the weekend. I’ve asked the admins if they can fix this particular bug because it causes a lot of confusion, also in other threads.

It looks like it's simply following the macro trajectory, amplified by some profit taking (and perhaps MMs aiming for a certain closing price).

In this case he isn't one of those 'shorts'. He sold put options, which means he is a long. He expects/hopes the stocks, including TSLA, will go up. He can then buy the put options back for less than what he sold them for. Scenario #2 is that the stocks go down. He will then have to buy the...

Het is me nu toch gelukt de schadevrije jaren die ik in de holding had opgebouwd mee te laten tellen voor mijn verzekering in privé. Univé (de verzekeraar die bij jou zo moeilijk deed) vond het overtuigend genoeg dat het adres van mijn holding hetzelfde is als mijn privéadres. En misschien heeft...

Mee eens. Kappuh nou.

Sure, I could have bought back the p160 and p162.5 (which I sold for $2.34 and $2.23 earlier this week) for $1.10 and $0.80 and then have reopened the positions for much higher premiums. But that’s a conclusion I can only draw after the fact, knowing that the strong morning performance was...

A few weeks ago we had negative electricity rates (including taxes) for a few hours in the middle of the day. There was a lot of sun and wind. That meant that if you charged your car during those hours you were being paid! I know of someone with the dynamic tariff who turned on every electric...

You seem to be taking @dl003's word as gospel. Be careful basing your decisions on a stern conviction of where he thinks the stock might be headed. I really appreciate his views and agree with you that a lot of what he predicts seems to pan out. But he is human like all of us and TA is fallable...

Rolled 10 x p155 for this week to 10 x p160 for next week, receiving a net premium of $2.00 (I like round numbers). That's usually a good indication that we will go down more, but that's okay, the c180s I sold for 26 May wouldn't mind.

Hindsight is always 20/20. Yes, you could have done better. But you didn't know it was going to drop to $169 (or maybe even lower this week). The stock could have taken off and you would have been confronted with a much bigger loss. You limited your loss and that was the wisest thing to do.

I'm making my moves early this week because I don't like to watch paint dry. The 10 x p152.5 and 10 x p155 I sold last week for $2 had come down to $0.14 and $0.24 and I don't like to waste a week on those last few cents. Rolling to a higher strike for this week doesn't get me much premium, so...

Ik vermoed nu toch dat ik me vergis en het de derde nieuwe set is. Want 75k is wel erg veel voor één set, ondanks dat het vooral snelwegkilometers zijn en ik niet als een gek door de bochten vlieg (maar wel veel hard optrek, want waar heb je anders een P100D voor). Dus ja, het zal 50k per set...

I'm glad you're still holding up (as far as I can tell from that emoji). What's your plan for the ones you rolled and did not want to be assigned?

That must be his double then. Zelensky was in The Netherlands all day and left less than two hours ago. 😬

Gisteren op mijn Model S na 150.000 km de tweede nieuwe set banden erop laten zetten. Nu niet gekozen voor de standaard Michelin Pilot Sport met geluidsisolatie in de band maar voor de Hankook iON Evo, die speciaal als stille band voor elektrische auto’s is ontworpen. Wat een wereld van...

Rolled 10 x -p150 5/5 to -p152.5 5/12, netting $2.00.

Dit draadje is bedoeld om je even voor te stellen. Graag onderwerpen als range en laden in de daarvoor bedoelde draadjes bespreken.

Rolled 5 x -p144 and 5 x -p146 for this Friday to 10 x -p155 for next Friday, receiving $2.00 in net premium. It’s a hedge against a further rise. If we go down I still have 10 x -p150 for this Friday which I can also roll.

The discussion is quickly getting political again. Please tread carefully and keep it related to Tesla/TSLA.

Goed om te weten. Ik zal contact opnemen met de oude verzekeraar om dit te herstellen en de schadevrije jaren alsnog door te geven voor mij persoonlijk en niet voor mijn holding. Ik ben benieuwd.

Ik heb wat problemen met de acceptatie van de verzekering van de Model S die ik begin april heb overgeheveld van zakelijk naar privé. Ik heb weliswaar veel schadevrije jaren opgebouwd, maar omdat ik al ruim 10 jaar alleen maar zakelijk heb gereden staan die jaren bij Roy-data op naam van mijn...

I’m a bit hesitant to intervene as this thread has a great capacity to self-regulate, which the posts of the last hours have shown. But yes, let’s do as suggested: get back on track, remain respectful and learn from each other’s theories and trades.

It looks like they are aiming for 165 today. I’m not taking any chances with my 10 x c170 for next week and rolled them to c180 and a few weeks out, netting another $1.15 in the process. I don’t want to lose those shares yet. The 20 x p150 / p146 / p144 for next week which I sold a few days...
