Same from me. I don't post much as I only post when I feel like my comment might add to the discussion, which is not often. I copied the -C200 for the 28th last week, which so far looks like a fantastic move.

Do half.

TSLA actually owns 20% of Elon.

I guess this: SC 13G/A

IBKR absolutely supports this. You might have to use the strategy builder, but it will basically let you construct any roll you want.

If it is like the Norwegian phrase "tatt ut i streik", it can mean that "more than half of the mechanics have been told that they should strike". Which would make everything match up as heltok showed.

I think this might be on the money.

Please note that the time value of those 400 puts is 0 or very close.

According to the union (ref: Så många strejkar på Tesla – IF Metall går ut med siffra ) more than half of the mechanics at tesla are members, and that even tho some of them did not join the strike, it does not change the overall picture that more than half of them are striking. This contrasts...

So many bearish people here that I am starting to think that we'll go up after earnings.

I stand corrected, sorry.

Did we read the same article? It is clear that less than half are on strike, or else they would have said that. Instead, they say that over half are members and that some members are not on strike.

Anyone experienced this in IBKR's trader workstation? A limit order was filled with a higher price than the limit? I contacted support, and they claim the order had 1.45 as a limit, while I am pretty sure (and my client agrees) that my limit was 1.20.

You called?

I'm sure the top Toyota engineers are working hard on figuring out how to transfer hydrogen over the NACS connector.

I saw the car at Lillestrøm yesterday. Looked great in the new color. Got a short ride-along, but was not allowed to drive myself. The car seemed quiet, but we did not get up to a high speed, where the noise usually becomes a problem.

Wow, would not expect a P260 to be exercised now, especially not for 17 days out! Thanks for the data point, but would not expect that to happen often.

Also note: having some sold ITM CCs is not as bad as the PUTs; Even July 2023 110C has some time value left.

Some good news for you: The tax rate is "only" 37.8% on stock gains. Your strategy depends on where you think the stock is going to trade. Dec 2025 is so far out in time that the theta on those options is very small, so the price of those are mainly driven by delta. You could offset that by...

I am, but feels like I'm playing with fire! Having to roll sold calls is however a problem I look forward to having.

sold 210C for this friday for 1.15, closed at 0.57 one hour later (0.58 gain). sold 210C for next Friday for 4.05, closed at 2.98 just before end of trading for 1.07 gain. Sold both of them 40-ish minutes after open, when IBKR fixed their quotes. Was planning on keeping them open until Friday...

Seems like IBKR just fixed itself, I was having the same problems here.

Ah, good old Schrödinger's charger.

I just got assigned 14x Sept '24 320P.

A batch of Model Y's was released as inventory in Norway. At 13:00, I found seven new inventory cars. At 15:00, they were all gone.

hmm, just got assigned all my Jan 2025 400P.

Ouch! That is some bad luck. My Sept 2023 320 Puts are still not assigned, I might have to look at rolling them out if we do not bounce up asap.

not good when even the US government is shorting SPY. /s

After a few poorly timed rolls and predictions (surely we will test ATH again within the year!) I have ended up with JAN 2025 -400P. They are showing as 0 in extrinsic value, but since the spread is so wide, it is still some value there compared to the bid. I do not want to be exercised, but...

Mostly 55 by the looks of things. EDIT: Seems like some of it is higher as well:

If only I had known this back in 2018 so I could have sold my shares at that time! 200 at this price out of your 2600 share stack should be okay down to a very low share price. The problem is that every time this works, it gets easier and easier to overdo it. At the worst possible time, you...

What was the expiry for those?

Looks to me like even after yesterdays big gain, those were at 0.00 extrinsic value (or "time value" as IB shows it as).

He is confirmed big investor:

I started selling options 13 months ago, and yes, I can confirm that the last 12 months have been a struggle.

First model s plaid registered in Norway! source: Tesla Registration Stats unfortunately, the price in Norway is lower, so not as high margin as those sold in the US.

We could get some form 4's that Elon is buying...

STO Oct28 230C @ 1.01 (waay too early) STO Oct28 235C @ 1.30

Hey @Drezil, Haven't seen you post anything since this. Is everything okay? I'm also with IBKR, and did not get more liquidity at that time, so I assume something had happened to your account? Did you get assigned some shares?

That was clearly too early. Sold another 10x for 2.6

I sold 10x 240 calls for oct21. Got 1.86 per contract. At this point I am content with them getting into trouble...

Would they be counted into the mDAU number?

That's nothing! I'm averaging one stock buy per 15 km driven in a tesla! :p

Can you make them into a calendar spread? As in, move the short leg out in time, while keeping the long leg where it is at. This will only work until the short leg expires, but will bring in some cash now.

Can you sell covered calls to keep you afloat for a while? Since everyone is now thinking there is no bottom, I guess that the bottom is close. If this selloff continues, we will be at a share price of -125 by 1. jan 2023.

My approach has been to answer: "If you could have the new iPhone with a battery that lasted a week and charged in 3 minutes, but you had to go into the Apple Store to charge it, would that be better than how it works today where you just plug your phone into the charger when you go to bed?"...

Thanks to all of you for sharing when you get assigned! Because of yesterday's discussion, I moved my Dec 400's out to April, and it now seems like I might have dodged a bullet. I'm now watching the extrinsic values of my PUTs as a hawk. My Dec 340s might need to be moved soon. I can't...

Ouch. And here I was thinking my dec 400's were safe. I'll better move those out in time ASAP. Thanks for the heads up!
