Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

[arashlzy]

Nothing yet from the firefighter. They did a quick recap of the story. However they iterated that no one was hurt and that tesla has the car in its possession.

If Tesla has the car, tomorrow or monday they should release their findings. Maybe a pic/video of Elon and team looking at under carriage. Knowledge......Anticipation.....Patience....Brings rewards

Nice play on the 170 calls this week Kevin

I will buy hand over fist if this happens.

How bullish would you be with what you buy? OTM calls? what strikes?

Good time to buy stock. Probably a good time to buy options, but I am skeptical because of the severity of the news that came out. This fire is a big deal for many reasons and the stock price is a big unknown right now. Too much risk for me.

I got a bunch of DITM calls. The premiums are pretty low so volatility is not such an issue. It provides more leverage than buying the stock but I won't lose everything if it goes down to $160.

Tesla does seem to be following the market. Boehner said he won't let the gov default and the markets are rallying.

OK, so a firetruck chaser this time - well, at least that's a variation of the tired old ambulance niche.

Isn't the 'fact', as reported somewhere, that the firefighters first tried to put it out with water before they changed to chemical a pretty solid further indication of inherent safety in Tesla battery packs? Provided true, of course. You don't want to pour water on 400 Volts, normally.

But I still think Tesla and/or Musk should issue a brief statement. Obviously they do not have full facts, but then say so! And declare that you intend to find them and take any responsible action deemed prudent as soon as you do have them. Own the news. Act, not react.

MHO

good point. Looking forward to seeing someone smart say that on cnbc today. However. What about that interview with the firemen? And citizen: where is your buying point?

If I could buy I would be buying TSLA Bull Call Spreads... that way you don't care about the high IV.

 

[bareyb]

Meh. From the tone on my other forums this is already yesterday's news. People who aren't involved in the stock have already moved on.

This is true. E.g. if you buy calls now with TSLA at $170, you might have to pay high IV. Then if TSLA settles down and trades in a range around $175 for two weeks, you will probably be able to buy those same options for less. The risk is that there is a sharp reversal and TSLA blows past $180 and you missed the last great buying opportunity.

I think in situation like this, there is other overwhelming factors than the high IV. At least that is not something I would consider when placing my trade.

CNBC going to have a bullish analyst on soon. Maybe Andrea James?

 

[Citizen-T]

CNBC just teased that they have a TSLA analyst coming on and that "she" thinks that you should be buying TSLA. I bet I know who is coming on.

I want to see the close. I'm no longer hedged (again). But before I add anything, I want to see the close.

 

[100thMonkey]

Oh how I wish I had funds in my trade account, crap! I'd be buying, buying, buying right now! a quick rebound is likely, IMHO...

Shots fired near the capital building in DC.

Andrea James' last few interviews kinda showed she has lost articulation on the Tesla thesis, so my expectation is low from her..

CNBC.

CNBC from my end. Just saw breaking news.

Man, one thing after another. perfect storm or not? How about a terrorist attack? I know i don't want to joke about that.

I just start watching CNBC, too distracting but want to see what else coverage they have for Tesla.

Already two law firms begging for clients to sue tesla. Guess they have to run it through their lawyers first
