Given the announcements in the afternoon .. would be interesting to know how folks are planning for tomorrow should there be get a big spike either way.
For me, if results are positive might add more leverage. (Jan 19 calls)
At the moment, not sure if I'll do anything incase results are negative .. other than letting my Calendar spreads for jan 18 expire and just leave the jan 19 leg as is.
Do share your thoughts ...
For last quarter I remember seeing the news around 5 EST, so I think announcement will come for at 2PM PST.
.23-24K S/X
.M3 press release and Production begin date (Given the hubris for X , and all the prep that went into 3, I think at least one line is ready and production will be on time) ..
"Third times a charm " - Best Of Luck to all Tesla Well Wishers ..
Might I add - "M.E.G.A - Make Electric Great Again" ...

Anything he says on twitter of any substance, response or not, is treated by the media as a press release and I'm sure Elon knows that.
^ This. The guy has 9.7 million followers on twitter.
People must be tweeting him daily about M3 progress.
He picked one tweet to respond too, once he felt in a position to do so.

For those of us that do not use social media, maybe I am the only one, please don't hesitate to post his tweets. Thanks
People pestering Elon on twitter for M3 news must be starting to annoy him....
Edit: vgrin beat me to it.

Al speaks for me as well. Tweets are small, I mean, why wouldn't you just paste it in for context while you are referencing it?
That said, TMC is itself a social medium if you think about it...

Past performance is no guarantee of future results and all that. Maybe the worst guy on tipranks will suddenly start being right about everything. It seems unlikely, though, doesn't it?
Huh. Makes sense. Nobody has time to be a specialist in every area...
For Tesla? Sure. There may be a misinterpretation here: you're thinking TSLA, right? I think the person you're responding to was talking about P/E ratios for the general market. Do you think they will boom for 24 more months? Seems unlikely.
The number of times he's announced an annoucement (and it was great marketing).... perhaps now he's taking it to the next level by announcing an announcement of an announcement! Even better marketing!
The only reason I think Jay might consider options is that he seems unwilling to stick to cash buy-and-hold, which is what he should really be doing given his knowledge level. (I had over 20 years of stock experience before trading my first option and I still consider myself a newbie with options.)
And Jay is currently using margin, and lots of it, which he should absolutely and definitely not be doing given his level of ignorance. The thing about margin is that you can literally lose more than everything: you can get wiped out and then have the broker come for your car and repossess everything you own and then garnish your paycheck. Compared to this, buying options with cash, where the worst case is that he just loses all his money, is safer.
(I've always wondered why they allow people to use margin with less experience than they allow people to use options. Perhaps it's just that options are more confusing -- because margin is definitely more dangerous.)
If stock price jumps up and IV drops I might close some of my short puts.

Currently my only social medium.
Buying calls is less dangerous than margin assuming the amount of leverage is the same. But options allow much greater exposure levels than margin. Then there's selling naked calls and puts, that can get interesting in a hurry.
Oh, that's certainly true!
I got authorized for "naked puts" but my puts are all still cash-secured, although that's not the way my broker sees all of them (i.e. I can execute all of them, but for some the money for execution is currently in a different account / not credited against the put by my broker).
Selling naked calls is about as dangerous as shorting.
Bloody hell. It's late here in Europe, well past bedtime and work tomorrow... spill the beans, dude!
Think we'll all have to wait until AFTER SpaceX launches today (IIRC 7-9pm EST). Then, maybe....
