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

    Added an updated image. GDP extrapolation is just an image dot copy-paste. The OP mentioned the original IPO day of META and possibly others as well. Did not date check, but google finance dragging around the start-today prices shows similar numbers as the post. OP Source...

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

    I wrote up something from looking at a FB/META grumbling on twitter. This was meant to some of my friends who are not stock savvy. So, figured to get your views before sending to them. Am I on the right track? :)

    I want to highlight these points. Tesla's labor rates are very high: So is all the European cars as well as any other high end cars. Just for a comparison, any decent third part mechanics (that does not cheat and overcharge) bills hourly starting at 125-150$/hour while the dealers/service...

    I have seen few positive videos from this guy and he is of an opinion that we may get a sale in next few weeks due to China lockdown.

    This year lot of standard filers will be paying to IRS instead of getting a refund, including me. I am suspecting I have to pay 5-10 grand and I don't have that type of money. Like most of you, all in TSLA and I don't want to sell any nor borrow on margin (already heavily margined). So, my...

    This is crazy but if true, is very interesting. I wonder what other superhuman capabilities Elon may have apart from running all these companies!!!

    NYU Professor on Valuation Can be taken as a base case since he considers Tesla as a 'un-car' car company.

    This is 'almost' implemented by M1 Invest although they don't provide a wider options like 3rd trading day at noon etc. But they invest the next day as soon as you have cash in the account. So, in theory, you can set up a recurring deposit in your M1 and associate a banking account to do ACH and...

    Nobody knows. I wish I knew and I would not have bought shares at upper 700s and 600s and out of powder. Bottom is when some whales stop selling and some more whales start buying or there is new extremely positive fresh news. In the mean while we ants bite a few more shares.

    I would add this. Kathie mentioned in a recent CNBS video that she only deals with allocation and the redemption is handled by the fund manager (like a market maker for ETFs?). I have no idea on how these so called ETF market makers operate. So, I would assume that the market maker may not have...

    I use TD Ameritrade. There is also the option of WeBull, but have not tried this myself. There must be something similar in your country.

    At these prices is it now reasonable to convert some shares (at a loss) to Sep 22 620 calls? Asking for a friend.

    What other tech stock to consider?

    [This] Such clowns!!! Or shall I say puppets. Anyway there is a massive war and I feel happy to take part in this even though I will end up losing few thousands. They tried to shut down the WSB, changed the news to propaganda as we are helping the retail investors, forced all brokerages to...

    What other tech stock to consider?

    Putting a little bit of TSLA returns to get the respect back. Limits are in place, 125->115->105->95->85. They did it even to TSLA. Let the shorts burn.

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

    I strongly believe $TSLA would go to 1050-1100 till earnings and stay rangebound but may not drop, or drop very little. I am thinking this is a relatively ok price and I am buying more. Here are my reasonings: There are not many sellers and when everybody think it will drop, it does not. A...

    Ok. That increased my confidence. Feeling better (that the bigger fish are supporting the idea). I am buying one for the taxable acct and will wait for the dip for the IRAs. What is the reasoning of buying OTM LEAPS when (it seems) you can easily buy ITM ones? Is that because of higher...

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

    I am a retail investor but I guess one of the newer/poorer one. So really apprehensive of dropping 15k on a single leap. Earlier I chased the call options while the IV was high and I ended up selling at a loss. So trying to find what tricks the option guys are doing to breakeven/make more money...

    A LEAPS question to all. Yesterday my Ameritrade account was showing 2023 Mar17 leaps to be 130$ bid but open interest was 0 for all the available OTM calls. Today it is up by 20$ and the open interest numbers is a lot. What happened? Did a bunch of people wrote calls overnight? These are...

    Options trading strategy/advice

    Option novice here. Anybody holding any 21jan15 700/higher calls? What are you going to do with those? Sold, rolled or bought more? I still have a few and these have dropped 50% with the IV crush. Still bullish on SP hitting 700 due to P&D on Jan04, but getting a feeling that market has...

    Man, So many buthurt and dumbo comments in that twitter. Everybody is complaining about not having the initial 10k and living paycheck to paycheck yet have time to come to twitter and post junk. Also complaining that 10k cannot become 1 mil. So I pulled the trusty excel and did a 2k monthly DCA...

    S&P spike - when to sell and when to re-buy?

    Now that the 1218 and 1224 calls in the gutter, those of you who have 0115 700/800/900 calls, what is your plan of action? Are you going to sell some before friday end, monday/tuesday or wait next week, etc? I bought them pretty high and those are 25% down for me. It is tempting to just dump...

    S&P spike - when to sell and when to re-buy?

    I am looking at the todays SP shootout and subsequent rise in IV and options price and thinking I have 5-7k waiting to buy some call options. Are there any contracts still cheap enough to make some money? Dec 24 thru Jan15? Anybody buying any, appreciate a hint. **Asking for a friend**

    FRA: TL0 is at 483.03 = $586 USD. Seems there may be a good day tomorrow. All the cheap calls will be gone!

    S&P spike - when to sell and when to re-buy?

    Looks like 12/18 calls are under water 20-40% for lot of guys that bought recently, like me. Hmmm. There is no free money. I have few 0115 700 calls and those are the only one little green today for me. Given a choice, will you roll your 1218 calls to longer dated calls, like 1231/0108 etc?

    S&P spike - when to sell and when to re-buy?

    I am thinking of buying some $350/$400 jan15 and Feb19 puts and find them somewhat cheap, but they are creeping higher last few days even though in the long term chart they are trending lower. This is confusing. Question to more experienced folks, do you believe the put contract prices will...

    S&P spike - when to sell and when to re-buy?

    I want to copy your trades. Care for more details of how many and which ones for $5k. How do you get the million $ figure? I am getting more, but I assume you are not assuming peak prices. The put trades will lose value if you buy them Tuesday while the sp is rising to $1300? Then, why not buy...

    TSLA stock shootup potential

    Hi All, I could not find anything similar and so created new thread. I was checking out DaveLee-EmmetPeppers video and he mentioned that HFT is 80-90% of float and rest is real shares. I remembered I had this unusual trading activity. I have never seen any highly liquid stock selling more than...

    I see there are cheaper calls at 875/900/950. What is your reasoning for buying that 850 call? Status: still novice on options.

    Thank you all for your responses. Now it feels ok to be able to make some money. I will buy few more contracts and will keep my fingers crossed. Hope the market makers do not play some game in the meanwhile. $TSLA to $1000. 2 more questions... 1. What affects the option bid/ask prices the most...

    I am a options noob but want to gain few shares by trading options. I have a IRA with 100k and 143 shares of TSLA and few other small positions with 500$ cash balance. I have bought 1 contract of OTM $580 at $29.43 and it has increased to $33.50. Also, the current stock price is 555 as of today...
