Social Chat - Short Term TSLA Movements

[demetri]

By the way the webcast of the conference call from the Tesla IR page works on iphone. I listened to the call driving home last quarter. They must have switched to HTML5 instead of flash

Excellent news- thanks demetri;

No? I read as you can now drive in low while before it was blocked? Maybe I didn't get it? My update will happen tonight while I'm sleeping.

Yeah, it was my mistake; I didn't know that those with 5.8.8 could lower while in park. I just took the car out and it still does not allow lowering at any speed, even after 5 min of >65MPH :redface:

Ah. No harm, i just went and took out a new mortgage on my house and put it all in Mar14 $300 calls based on your post

Seriously though I didn't stick to my plan of sitting out today as the drop for no reason today seems too good a buying oportunity to pass up. Half my cash in today.

I have managed to unhedge most of my TSLA calls, and have not purchased any puts or protection. I am looking for a very big move up.

Either the shorts are getting crushed or I am: I put the odds at 70/30 respectively, and I will take my chance on those odds.

Go big or go home!

I'm equally as scared I as I was Q1 2013.

Crazy! How deep are you in?

cheers

My plan changed today. I didn't expect TSLA to drop this much the day before but half the people I know sold shares in the last week as they don't want burned again. I think people are being fearful so I am being a little greedy.

Instead of hedging my June calls I decided to add a couple ATM March calls. I got hurt last quarter so here's to undoing last quarter. If I get hurt again there's always next quarter. Rinse wash repeat until I'm bankrupt or rich I read about a similar strategy in "options as a strategic investment." :wink:

That's good, right?

Well, i bought my first protective put today. I am going big but wNt to keep my home.

LOL well Johan, that did coincide with the LOD for the stock so far, so not a bad time to load up (I sure did). I share the sentiments echoed above, but in the end, I think 70/30 (up vs down) is about right. I am in heavy with calls (~400K), all bets placed. Fingers crossed. Champagne on ice.

I had a bunch of "covered" calls short for March from $210 to $260. Last week I moved almost all of the $210 - $230s to $240+. This week I started buying back those $240 - $260.

I bought back a bunch of $250 - $260's today.

So I am riding this ER for the most part unhedged. It better be good.

Haha. Love it!

I'm actually pretty relaxed. Just one month ago my portfolio was 50% of what it is today. If I go back to that level it won't change a thing. I'm actually more worried about missing a big move up

 

[InTheShadows]

My calls are naked as can be. Added more feb today in the dip. Go big or go home.

When do they send out the results and letter? right after close? Right at 4:00pm ET?

CNBC just said 4:05pm.

Increased my exposure by about 40% by scooping up a bunch of March $200 calls around today's low. I wasn't planning on doing it but they seemed so cheap.

GO BIG OR GO HOME

Anyone know what time the conference is going to be held today and where I can stream it? Thanks for the info. Too lazy to skim through 148 pages to figure it out.
