Not enough absolute short interest for it to work for more than some $10.s for a day or two.Meme-stock going nuts in PM... I wonder what the knock-on effect will be
Wish those apes would pile into TSLA, OK I realise wouldn't be very effective with such a ledge float and market cap, but might give a boost and frighten off some shorties
The only worrisome thing for selling CCs is that the 1 hr and 2hr charts show a reversal from last weeks decline. (At least that is what I see)
I'm hoping the same people that shorted GME/AMC also shorted TSLA. Two for one type of deal. Many rumors that people are selling BTC to fund meme coins/stocks. Lets see how this plays out for Wall Street v2 and how TSLA may or may not be affected.Meme-stock going nuts in PM... I wonder what the knock-on effect will be

Please let us know when you reenter. Thanksexited as planned.
I entered because the 1h candle looked ugly, but it ended up closing strong. Took out HOD. Reverting back to my original plan of waiting for the 1H to get expensive. Not gonna take long, maybe day / day and half.
But with leaps, you have to be sure that your gain is more than the extrinsic to even out the trade when you sell. If you paid $362 for +c620, you would not break even unless the SP is $982. Any -c you sell less than that will be at a loss if you let it go. If your intention is to wheel, I don't think you can get in/out of LEAPS as easy as straight shares.yes, instead of selling straddle, i can just sell a safer Covered Short Strangle so less chance of getting assigned -p again
less income but perhaps better (for now) on bearish market
thx for the idea
omg LEAPS is so complicated; i think i'll stay with stocksBut with leaps, you have to be sure that your gain is more than the extrinsic to even out the trade when you sell.

Compared to most of what you are doing they are pretty straightforward. The challenge for me is just being able to visualize/analyze risk over time and stock price; it is a real 3D/4D problem when you hold them for a longer time and are down/at risk for some positions. It feels like differential equations vs linear algebra at times. The good news is that you simplify things by planning to hold close to expiration.omg LEAPS is so complicated; i think i'll stay with stocks
thank you
It really boggles my mind how fickle trader sentiment is, time and time again. (Or so one would believe if they read financial news sites. I'm more and more a fan of not checking the news at all, as you often suggest. I only check official Tesla sources, really.)Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't everyone bearish over the weekend? Wicked Stock and that guy who always reports after the fact on X?

The other thing to be careful with is wash sale in selling the shares initially.
Perhaps this is just anecdotal, but everytime I've bought leaps, if I had just sold that leap short, I would have made money. So I've resorted now to whenever I the itch to buy a leap I just sell it short instead, as long as I have stock to cover it, I'm fine with the lower profit, especially since my leap is above my cost basis.i think i understand LEAPS
what i don't get is management (when to roll, what to do when stock is up, what to do when stock is down, etc)
coz from what i've seen on this thread, ppl lose "everything" on LEAPS
whereas i can't lose anything on stock (just need to wait for sp to rise again)
perhaps i'll forget about it and stick with stocks to keep this simple
I am still bearish... but I understand today's movement. People figure with GPT4o being "so good" that Tesla's AI objectives might be possible. Maybe I am just emotionally bearish and positioned mostly bullish.Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't everyone bearish over the weekend?

The more you trade them the more you lose; that is the benefit of holding. Theta is pretty low until about 90-180 days out. Delta is also proportionately lower so rolling isn't a huge priority.i think i understand LEAPS

Today has nothing to do with GPT, imo. As I was prepping the room for a few days straight last week, the 2H was getting cheap. Then on Friday I said it's cheap now, go light on CCs over the weekend. It's simply a pressure release mechanism. The meme stock basket also helped. We call this the pump season, where the big boys have nowhere else to go so money goes into the cheap meme names for a quick buck.I am still bearish... but I understand today's movement.

@Jim Holder on buying puts to insure for the shareholder meeting: remember that insurance is not an investment. I am trying to gauge the real risk of any of the big three items to the stock and/or company (I voted against all, but believe I am in the minority), and so far I think it is less than 10% chance of failing at least for Elon and Delaware.
The Delaware one specifically though I have trouble gauging. I cannot imagine how a fiduciary can approve it at a major fund, aside from Wood.
