After listening to Elon's comment on software update and Thursday's release being a small fraction of hardware, I'm inclined to think the news will disappoint. A few puts were bought as insurance.[/QUOTE]
I never thought I would see the day:wink: but I think that was a wise move. To balance my and your puts I bought some March 20 200s calls when we had the big dip today. This is my 'just in case in am wrong about the impact of the press conference' play.
I still have leaps for 2017, so long term wise I'm in a very good position. The few puts were bought with some extra cash as insurance, I wouldn't have done this if it weren't for oil doing so poorly. My concern with oil is poor macroeconomics and not Tesla related. The other reason was because memories of a dip after "D" announcement is still fresh in my mind, and I don't know if you guys remember this, but Tsla also dipped after the "supercharger" announcement. It also dipped after the highly anticipated "revolutionary financing". All these reasons mentioned may be trivial due to TSLA already being at a huge discount, so the opposite may occur. Especially if Elon gives some insight on "other things" during Q/A, he may even use this platform to set us up for the stationary storage announcement. Who knows.. whether those puts turn profitable short term or not, it'll be eventually sold to buy more Tsla
I can't believe this, you guys bought Puts?...no way!
I closed mine Monday morning at the open:biggrin:.
Glad to see you back, wise decision.
