Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2015

I've been eagerly watching these past few weeks waiting for it to top 250 again. I think we could do that next week unless we get some other negative but compelling news media. 2-5-0, 2-5-0...sorry underneath my humble exterior I'm a TSLA cheerleader.

What will you do at 250?

I'll say that April-May have been a LOT more fun than November-March.

Might be something finally leaked. I guess we are looking at a weekend news release. Tesla getting better at jeeping a lid on things.

We shall see!

Nice round number. Just like my treefiddy price target.

Given the 'max pain' number today I would have bet we closed closer to $235 than $245.......

Same. It seems some piece of news outdid the options writing market makers today. Wonder what it is...

Yea, I cut my big ones loose this morning and bought a few short term puts. I like the close though. We closed over 248 which is bullish right? Because of some fib thing and some dude on Twitter said something about a reverse head and shoulders pan handle thing and the fib and that means gap up Monday and 260 next week.

I chuckled to my self and thought someone sees another unicorn.

The number of people following Elon Musk is now 3X the number of people following BMW. The number of people following Tesla Motors on twitter will exceed the number of people following BMW by the end of 2015.

Still wondering when we'll hear more about the hundreds of Gigafactories that will be needed to meet global demand. :smile:

Something interesting to think about.

Ditto. I'm surprised price didn't get pushed to 245.

Shucks, I should have looked it up first, I didn't realize it was an actual term and not just something form this forum.
Thanks!

It's where the bookie gets a chance to jump in the game and block a field goal to prevent a team from covering the spread.

Nice analogy

How do you calculate it? Is there a website which shows this for each expiration date, constantly updating it as days pass by?
