I think it's just an exercise in restraint. Had I not panicked a little Tuesday I'd be fantastic. The trend is up, even for just weekly movement, so calls will be safer in the end.
I'm up around 100% atm with post ER play money. But that doesn't really mean anything since I can just lose it all tomorrow with a -2% move.
So far what I've learned is that I can understand TSLA's movements fairly well, but since it gets tracked along with the rest of the market with no news, I have to learn about events for the overall market. Who the big opinions are, what the calendar is, etc.
These things are easy with TSLA thanks to this board. There are a lot of well educated, well informed, and well meaning people here. I haven't found something similar for anything else.
