Did you sell the bag?

Correction - the $432M market cap accounts for 21% of the company. The SPAC structure complicates this one. Still an interesting Co.

Might want to check out SPFR - Jaws Spitfire which is a recent SPAC who brought public VELO3D. VELO is in the business of manufacturing 3D printers that print in metal with extreme precision. I noticed this company in the ARK daily trade emails. After a bit of research and I found that SpaceXis...

Just checking in to report on my options plays, which is writing covered calls only & no puts. I've been successful for the past few months selling calls, most recently at $900 strike and bringing in some nice premiums. This game is a real mindf%uck. I've been holding strong in TSLA since the...

Per the letter, guidance has changed to longer term view of aiming for 50% average annual growth in vehicle production. Some years with more growth than others, but they expect 2021 to grow faster than 50%.

Welp, my pet project NNDM is now up over 700% since I started buying less than a year ago at slightly less than $2.00/share. Thanks to TSLA results I was able to take a fairly significant position and have pulled out my cost basis. The rest will hodl for the ride. I think its reasonably...

From the archives of a OG HODLer. Amazing what can happen when you do nothing but hold!

S&P inclusion should provide more share price stability now that a good chunk of the float is off the table. At least I hope. Congrats all HODL-ers. 2021 gonna be fun.

Nah, he's too busy polishing his Mach-E to bother.

Have no fear, been holding TSLA since 2011 & my mortgage remains intact.

Closest thread I could find. I’m curious what others here who are homeowners with mortgages are thinking. I could pay off my mortgage with my TSLA gains. I’d have to sell 25% of my shares. And my mortgage rate is now 2.75% thanks to a refinance at current rates. So on one hand the no mortgage...

Probably because TSLA doesn’t have enough cash to pay their bills.

I've been waiting to enter into my next covered call position. Premiums look good. I'm thinking $800 - $900 @ mid to late January. Anyone else planning to enter into a CC position tomorrow? What strikes and expirations do you like?

Count me in. Long since IPO

Would a Dow inclusion trigger Dow funds to buy in like the S&P 500 inclusion? Would this be a bigger deal than the S&P 500 inclusion event?

With the next 2-3 weeks of S&P inclusion drama, I fully expect Elon to fuel the fire with something new that no one was thinking about. When the dust settles I predict $650B market cap and then shortly thereafter Tesla will announce a new CEO comp plan that lays out a roadmap to $2T market cap.

There's a few things I look for when considering new opportunities. This company checked off a few of them. First the technology is very useful across several industry sectors. So wide appeal and large addressable market. Second, the market cap is very low and there's a lot of room to run. Third...

Is anyone considering shorting the company(s) who may get booted from the S&P500?

I was not expecting 1100% gains back in 2011. Sharing this for education purposes: Sorry, I don't have anyone else to celebrate with besides you all. Congrats Team!!!

bump- running and raised over $100-Million in the past month. Poised for growth.

I encountered a technical issue this morning upon checking my Schwab account. I was smiling so big that my iPhone’s FaceID didn’t work to log me in. I’ll file that into my Tesla Investor Problems tracker for future reference. :-)

You can sell that covered call tho.

Pretty sure Teslaquilla was timed for delivery to customers in time for S&P inclusion day. Games Elon Plays... too bad Alex Trebek won't be around for that category.

Since Tesla has a stated 2030 goal of 20-million cars, is it too soon to start thinking about a CEO comp plan that takes us there? I think the current one is complete at $650B market cap. That’s right around the corner. :-)

Got me thinking even more and reading more about the variables that contribute to options pricing. Time and volatility being significant factors and they both change. Now I’m rethinking my strategy of waiting for the eclipse event to sell my monthly CC. That works well in a period of high...

Regarding adiggs comment about using probability of ITM at expiration as a tool for evaluating options. What other tools or charts do you all use to vet your trades? Platform recommendations and/or links appreciated.

This struck a chord. Thanks for your insight! BTW - i'm on Schwab. I don't see many Options tools. I'll have to fish around.

I’m in the same boat as you here. I sold jan’21 CC at $680 back in Mid-Sept for $50/contract. My plan was to sell 2 contracts (~3 month expiration) every month, taking in $5K in premium per contract... my theory is (was?) that I could generate $120K/year without much effort with this...

120% gain in a couple months on no news besides Cathie buying... I sold enough to take my cost out. Will let the rest ride. :-)

NNDM is gaining momentum and moving up big time.

I was discussing here and waiting for the IPO since the Roadster and T-Shirts where the only products Tesla sold. I bought a shirt but only test drove the Roadster. Then started buying stock. My post split lowest cost share is $4.74

Q2 Ark webcast, they mentioned NNDM as micro-cap in their fund that has underperformed recently but they had confidence in. NNDM is an Israeli company that manufactures 3D printers of circuit boards. Their value add is in collapsing the timeline from design to production, quick iteration and...

Additionally, electric mining equipment would be nice to have on Mars or the moon or anywhere else off our mud ball.

Great insights as always, StealthP3D. I think there is a scenario that is playing out for many us here where the odds may actually be in our favor. Those who've held long, HODL'ing since the beginning of the TSLA story, have unbelievable gains AND are really unbalanced in their portfolios. I...

I trimmed for the first time today. Shares purchased in Roth account on 3/17/2020. Sale represents 2% of my total shares but pulled out ~40% of my overall cost basis. Getting nutty again over here in my accounts.

My assumption* for online survey results is for every 1 vote there are 10 who didn’t bother voting. So that’s about 150 Teslanaires on the forum at the time of this post. Maybe too low? *based on my completely unscientific theory but enlightenment by 20+ years of (digital) marketing experience.

They are gonna pay Elon with the cap raise money. Negates the issue. Genius.

The oldest shares in my account now show a cost basis of $4.74. That’s kinda fun.

The fund may not employ Options but Cathie herself went on record claiming to have purchased Calls when FUD was strong and S/P depressed at <$200. Later TSLA spiked to $900 and she purportedly made 6000% gains. I wonder how many Options she had/how much she personally made? Would like her to...

I tossed and turned last night, not because I have options contracts that are volatile but because buy and hold has worked so well my account is majorly overweight in TSLA. I’m considering selling a small amount of shares, maybe 5%, just so I can sleep better. Will decide before end of...

I bought at $18 on a dip.

Dunno but there was a guy here back in 2013 who said he acquired 77,000 shares through various options trades on the run up to $150. I wonder what happened to him.

I joined the Teslanaire club today. Its been quite the ride. I'm now at 20X my investment. Thanks everybody! This forum helped me maintain my conviction since TSLA @ $18.

I love this. We need a “Spoils of War” thread to share our victory splurges. Islands are cool and all, but your camera looks amazing.! I have my eye on something outlandish that makes me cringe (at the price) but would be so awesome to have!

Congrats to all of us! For those with massive gains and thinking of taking profits, remember that many funds are just now placing their bets. We were lightyears ahead of them, but they take massive positions. For example: Tesla Stock TSLA Closes at Record High as Hedge Funds Boost Stakes...

Would be fun to have an opposite version of this thread. “Where Are They Now” for the decade of Tesla haters, starting with Jon Peterson who was the long time voice of TSLA FUD plus the multitude of Short Fund Managers who’ve been wrong for so long. And while we’re at it, somebody please compile...

Awesome. Great memory! I have pics of your Green Roadster too from that same day. There was another Blue Roadster there as well as a Signature Red Model S. Date stamp on my photo is 9/23/2012. Time flies when you're having fun!

I’d love to hear your stories. What led you to invest in tsla? It was the batteries for me. At least it was the fact the new laptops, Ipods, and the at the time, the brand new Iphone, seemed to last forever. Just like magic! Then somebody strung up a bunch of those batteries and powered a car...

With S/P holding steady and low volume, are how are options prices looking? Coming back to earth or still a big premium for volatility? Asking for a friend.

Seems like we could start applying pressure to the S&P Committee. Lest they allow themselves to age out, like fossil fuels. Can we release the hounds via twitter? #TSLA_S&P500
