Only time will tell how popular the CT will be. Why do you think you can predict the future? The Model Y is currently one of the best selling vehicles, it doesn't matter if it took over the full size SUV market or not. The CT will be it's own market. If it's popular, it's popular, doesn't matter...

According to this, the odds are it's safe. At least in recent history. Good luck today everyone.

Oops sold a call yesterday for $250 strike. Ugh what a dumb ass. Now what?

I'm mainly just trying to hold on to my shares for the long term, but add to my share count by selling relatively safe calls. I'm just kind of messing around to see if it's worth playing around with. I wanted to experience needing to roll calls, but with only one or two calls before I sold 20 or...

Meaning I might want to roll at a loss?

Seems bazaar that I would need to take a 20hr course to understand how to roll a CC. I don't really learn that way. I need to experience it first hand. I've watched the course videos that would pertain to rolling CCs, and watched YouTube videos about it. Am I not even close in my above scenario...

Not sure if I completely understand the concept of rolling an option. I was kind of waiting to get into the situation where I might need to figure it out. I have 2 x CC $207 expiring this Friday. So would a roll be to sell two CCs DTE 03/31 at around the same price as I would need to BTC the...

Bump. Curious too.

Damn it! Why didn't I sell more calls.

Should I be closing my CCs on Friday before close, even if they are far out of the money?

I'm here trying to figure out if I can sell covered calls far enough out of the money to keep them from getting exercised, but yet bring in some extra cash into my Roth, so I can buy more shares. It's looking doable. Otherwise I can't increase my share count in my Roth for almost another year. I...

240 CCs expiring 2/10?

Is there a particular day and/or time of day that tends to be best for selling weeklies? What strategy do you guys use for timing your sales?

Beginners luck

What if you have 600% gains on your shares? Wouldn't that significantly change this dynamic?

Yes, you can withdraw the principle without any taxes or penalties, but any early withdrawals of gains are taxed at income tax rates and have a 10% penalty.

Wouldn't the lack of deductions for losses be offset by not having to pay taxes on my gains, if the calls I sold are exercised? The plan is to be conservative and not let any calls be exercised, but if that happens I can just immediately turn around and buy shares again without any tax...

It's no more double taxed than a taxable brokerage account. The only difference is the 10% penalty and (I'm guessing) no long term capitol gains discount. The principle going into your taxable brokerage account has already been taxed too. I don't think Roth's have a SEPP option.

Wouldn't it be better to do this in a Roth, if the calls I sold were exercised? Then I wouldn't have to pay capital gains tax. The other big difference is I don't have 4,000 shares in a taxable account, so I can't really play the selling calls game in any other account other than my Roth. I...

16% and 20% off the weekly low. Those are safe.

On Tuesday close to market close, and stock price was at $144.40, I almost sold 1/27 calls with 165 strike for .80. Luckily I listened to you guys and didn't do it because of earnings week. I thought there would be no way we would close above $165 today. If I had sold those would there even be...

Just sold 2/3 240cc for .39. Is that even possible to be at 240 by the end of next week? I think I'm seeing why you guys warned me to stay away. Too late now!

You're kicking my ass. I'm already down 400% on my $205cc 2/3 for .37 that I just sold. Talk about learning the hard way. Maybe I should sell some more at these new and improved prices.

This week is unprecedented, right? What other weeks have we had such a huge percetage gain from the week's low to the week's high. Currently at 28%. Or am I just high?

Just sold 20 CC 205s for 2/3 for.37. This seems extremely safe based on history. Aren't we already at a history making week? The gains this week are way more than the notorious Hertz deal. Based on history we should have never breached 165 today. Not advice and obviously I don't know what the...

I'm all back in after panic selling 2,000 shares on capitulation day. I lost 327 shares with that winning move. So about a $52,000 loss so far at this stock price. I'm hoping to be able to make it back selling weekly calls on about 4,000 shares. I would like to stay real conservative and not...

Ok back to this for a minute: So based on this, in all of 2022 you wouldn't have lost any shares if all of your weekly calls were sold at a price at least 16% higher than the current price? And even then it wouldn't have gotten that close unless you perfectly timed the lowest price? Already in...

I STO a 140 on Friday the 13th, mainly for educational purposes. Based on this: We should be pretty safe right? Friday when I sold, it was 16% above whatever the current price was. Looks like those numbers are based on opening price though. Not sure what it opened at on Friday. Looks like...

I sold some CCs today. Doh!

I sure hope I don't wake up at 3am and panic sell again. Or maybe I should😆

Is this officially your thinking, or just sarcasm?

Thank you for the information. Sounds like there is hope of getting my shares back without too much risk and time. Just need to be careful and patient. Doesn't sound like this is the right time to start selling CCs, but when the time is right I'll start slowly with only selling single contracts...

Lets just say I end up losing 600 shares from panic selling at the bottom. Now with 4000 shares in my account, about how long might it take to increase the 4000 shares to 4600 shares, being careful and conservative? And taking into consideration that I study Free Options Trading Courses |...

What's the cosensus on the CPI? Catalyst, or stock price crusher?

This sucks. When I'm hoping the price will go up, it just keeps going down. When I'm hoping it will go down, it just keeps going up. Looks like my heirs are going to be a few million poorer than if hadn't panic sold back in 2023 at the very bottom. And no I'm not going to have any heirs anytime...

https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/threads/tesla-tsla-the-investment-world-the-perpetual-investors-roundtable.139047/page-17929#post-6965621 What about doing this to accumulate more shares?

I was starting to have similar thoughts. The market has been freaking crazy and we don't know what the fed is ultimately going to do. There's just so much uncertainty. It's probably going to go ripping back up, but who the hell knows. A couple thoughts I had that I wanted to run by you guys: So...

Okay so there's no way to just keep it fairly simple. Buy the best 2025 LEAP and keep rolling it if I have to. Seems like sitting here selling puts while the stock price heads back up would be way more riskier and painful to watch. What am I missing? Both strategies rely on similar luck, or...

Thank you for all of the information and your time it took to compose. Hypothetically if the stock price gets back to $200 in a month or two, wouldn't I be much further ahead to just purchase what shares I could at a loss Monday morning, or even further ahead if I bought LEAPs? Don't leaps...

What if I just bought 20 contracts every Monday morning at the same time? My job doesn't really allow me to follow the market that closely. How would I decide what strike price to buy at? If the stock has a major breakout wouldn't I just get left behind in the dust? What do you mean by bring...

So if you're going to sell at the bottom, then it's really only a good move if you're going to turn around and buy LEAPs. Maybe I didn't make a mistake after all, but of course the problem is we don't know if this is the bottom. One thing we can agree on is we are a lot closer to the bottom than...

Thank you. Misery loves company. It's the regret that I worry about more than being adversely affected by the monetary loss. Always thinking about that mistake, and kicking myself for it.

What about buying LEAPs with the cash, and then selling them when they appreciate enough to buy 2000 shares? Would that be pretty low risk? Would that be fairly easy to calculate with the Options Profit Calculator?

No margin. Just kind of lost my sanity when I was reading doom and gloom comments about the bloodbath these price cuts were going to cause. I've just lost so much already. I thought there was no way the stock would go up as much as it did today. I couldn't sleep and I bought myself a few hours...

I blew it. I sold in the pre-market after waking up at 3am in a panic. I thought after all the not so scary stuff that has brought down the stock price, there was no way the stock would hold up well after significant price cuts. I wasn't worried about the company, but just the optics after Tesla...

Isn't electricity for EV's created by the methods the government is trying to stop? Electric cars also need lots of lithium and other toxic metals for their batteries. We'll have to increase our exploitation of third world countries for their metal ore. Some "green" inventions are more about...

Some geologists think the term, "fossil fuels" is a misnomer, because zillions of dinosaurs would have had to die in several big piles all over the world to make the oil deposits. Instead, the earth may be producing it from pressure and heat working on the molten substances below. In that case...

What's wrong with it? Just that it's ugly? Aren't the batteries a good idea for load shaving?
