This website does NOT work anymore. Look at the table below the graphic. It leaves out any strikes below 320 in the calculation, so of course calculated max pain is skewed to the upside. The website doesn't output useful data anymore since several weeks. I used it for years and it has been...

The numbers are obviously nonsense as you can see my attached screenshot. Max pain would be 220. Below there is a table that shows the details of the graphs. ALL puts that are taken into consideration are out of the money. ALL calls that are taken into consideration are in the money. That...

I'm looking for this friday's max pain. Neither Max Pain | Maximum-Pain.com nor Strike Pegger for QQQ work anymore. These are the two sites I used to work with. I can't seem to find any calculator that's still working. Does anyone know the background, why this is so? I guess, they might not have...

I use this site since quite some time and I don't remember such strange output back then. Nowadays some maturities don't even exist, and others output pure garbage, even inside trading hours. Just look at TSLA's next week's maturity.....says max pain @440 based on absolutely no volume. My take...

This website doesn't compute correctly before market open. Check back at open, and max pain should be around 300.

Not talking about stock. Holding onto my core stock tightly since 2011, and not planning to sell anytime soon.... I bought weeklies 1hr ago for some extra boost, and I HAVE to sell them before tomorrow close, because they expire by then... Usually I'm quite good at picking entrance points, but...

I did. A few. Now already up 33%. Now debating when to sell....

spot on!

from IB news-feed: Baird maintained Tesla Motors (TSLA) coverage with Outperform and target $338 Baird maintained Tesla Motors (TSLA) coverage with Outperform and target $338 Issuance Date: 2016-10-03

True. FUDsters will come out. BUT at the same time some analysts will come out with upgrades as well, and their opinion might be worth more...so it might be net positive....watch out for analyst-upgrades early morning.

seriously??? In times of disruption being on the side of disruption is waaaay less risky in my book than being on the side of being disrupted.... So, good luck with your bet.

IB: still 79%, but now 197K shares available to short...

exactly. It doesn't make sense...that's why I would be interested to know if other IB clients experienced the same. And if there is some reason behind, that's connected with the issue of the recalls...

IB: 79% and 146K shares available.

IB is currently at 79%. They pay their clients half of that. They did not lend out a single of my TSLA shares since August 17th, while they did before. It's counter-intuitive that in a time when the lending fees are huge and the supply is supposed to be scarce they are not lending out any of my...

Paul is talking about warrants. I think he's talking about this one: Société Générale Effekten GmbH Call 16.12.22 TeslaMot 330 - SG73U1 - Optionsscheine | comdirect.de With a good broker you can buy it, even in the US, just plug SG73U1 into your trading plattform. BUT keep in mind, it is a...

If the market doesn't see any other risk beside the vote, yes, then it should close that spread. BUT if there are still remaining uncertainties like lawsuits, SEC probings etc. then a spread will remain. The options should switch around the same time when SCTY stock ceases to exist (being...

This should read: So these 9 options entitle this person to buy 9 * 11 TSLA common stock for 181.82 each = 99 shares.

sure. Let's say sameone buys 9 SCTY March 20 calls. After the merger they will be converted to odd March 181.82 TSLA calls with an odd multiplier of 11 (instead of the 100 for standard-options). So these 9 options entitle this person to buy 9 * 11 TSLA options for 181.82 each = 99 Options. If...

Appreciate your insights! I think it's highly likely that the deal goes through, but I'm not so confident in the timing, so I wouldn't bet on the positive merger vote release too soon . The 4 court cases seem to further delay everything. The uncertainty could stay in the market for even some...

I'm not so sure about that. Puts in SCTY are pretty expensive. Even with a modest strangle (Jan17 18 call and Jan17 16put) I don't see an easy way to make money... I agree. But if it DOES go through the proceeds from the call will probably not be enought to pay for the then worthless put...

One strange observation: I have a margin account with IB, so IB is allowed to lend out my shares (they receive 50% of the proceeds from lending, I receive the other 50%). They did so until August 16th. From there on they did not lend out a single TSLA share from my account. It seems very strange...

I'm doing exactly that. My reasoning is the following: The Jan 17 SCTY calls at the money should roughly double if the merger goes through (provided TSLA stays where it is and the decision will be not too far into the future, in which case the calls would lose much of their time value). Risks...

Only if they are very deep in the money (like almost 50%), as any remaining time-value will be lost.

Wall street is very short sighted. If it wasn't the stock price would already be waay higher.

Jonathan, I like your strategy, I think it would have worked on several past occasions and should also work in the future. BUT I would be particularly careful with the Q3 numbers release. There is the real risk, that Q3 will be a blowout-quarter. We know Elon's Email, we know they are planning...

Interesting thought. I checked it on Tesla's website. The price in germany for a base Model S60 is EUR 76.600, incl. 19% VAT = EUR 64,369.75 without VAT. Still way above EUR 60.000, so I think the move is NOT tailored to germany.

Thanks bhz for making me aware of this issue. It was news to me. Fortunately it IS transferable. Tesla just issued a release about it: Tesla's Extended Service Agreement | Tesla Motors

12/2012 Model S P85 green, 48.7k miles, fully loaded $59,900, LA, lots of aftermarket-addons! PRICED TO SELL I'm selling my very much loved model S in excellent condition, because I will be out of country after mid march for quite a while. Would take it with me if it would make sense, but it...

Max pain for today moved to 235 (from 230 yesterday and 227.50 earlier this week)

not at all what I expected for this week. My theory was that the stock would move slowly and would be pinned around max pain at 227,50 on low volume by thursday. Sold some covered calls some days ago for the first time in a really long time... worst timing...

ok, I found it on IB. For anyone who's interested: In IB TWS: Analytical tools/Option Analysis/open interest by strike. It can only go back about 6 weeks, and it doesn't display a chart, but one has to klick through single days. Not perfect, but the information is there...

Very important piece of information! Thank's SBenson! How can you see that? Is there a publicly available Tool? I have IB. Is there a way to see it?

CPO: yes. Showroom and loaners will be counted as new though. - - - Updated - - - If it's showroom- or loaner-inventory then it's new sale. If it's preowned, then not.

this is really exciting. Tesla mobility could easily be the biggest part of the trio Tesla mobility / Tesla energy / Tesla motors.

Elon basically just confirmed they are working on their own carsharing model...

In order to short sell shares you need to borrow them from someone, usually a customer of the same brokerage. The above quote simply means that no scottrade-costomer wants to lend their TSLA-shares, or those who are interested in lending already did so. They receive interest for lending their...

new secondary offering: Tesla Motors - Prospectus Filed Pursuant to Rule 424 - - - Updated - - - Premarket und TL0 in Frankfurt reacting slightly positive so far. Trading around 216.50 +- 2 EUR...or about 241 USD.

why is TSLA trading in round numbers only for the last 13 minutes? 276-274-272-270-269-270-269-267-268-269-270,03 finally! :-)

If you own both model s and stock: did you buy the Car first or the stock?

with 80.000 shares traded preparket only...to me this looks like an engineered drop from someone who wants to accumulate TSLA. Will be interesting to see how the market opens.

paraphrasing more: ...with relatively little dilution...

I see 560K in IB today after hours.

Gap-fill-theory...it basically says, that (almost) all gaps will be filled sooner or later. I think it's more a self-fulfilling prophecy. If enough people believe in it it becomes reality... no crystall ball here unfortunately... :-)

we just closed the gap at 206.65 and are now free to move up. :-)

We have a gap to fill at 206.65 My take is we will fill it very soon and move north from there... :-)

This video is VERY telling: Audi E-Tron Engine Sound Engineering - YouTube "you have to find a great sound for the car, and that took us more than 3 years". My first thought was this video is a prank, but sadly, it's not...

Feb 27 (Reuters) - Tesla Motors Inc <TSLA.O>: * Barclays raises price target to $220 from $180; rating equal weight

I'll add a few more weeklies at the open. Just for the fun of it. Not too much though...timing will be everything here (especially with the exit), since it's not much time.
