VOLKSWAGEN WILL NOT PRODUCE A SMALL ELECTRIC CAR FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER THREE YEARS - FT

Actually they are producing it for quite a while now. Look up e-up!. Not saying that it's a good car or smth but it's a small electric car.

Among several others, Rob discussed it in one of his videos and Gary Black addressed it in Twitter.

Thanks! I feel bad when someone mentions Rob, Dave Lee or any of the other various outlets that follow TSLA as closely as those in this thread, like I showed up to class today without reading the assigned Chapters last night (which I normally do), lol.

No. Mostly its FIFO - First In First Out.

@EnzoXYZ You should be able to change it after the fact. Depending on your broker, you might have to wait until later Monday or Tuesday to change it online. If you can't figure it out, call your broker (or online chat).

Thought about liquidating calls just for the weekend to save on theta decay, but outweighed by rising IVs and likelihood of >600 in premarket.
Discussion must now move to the likely effect of S&P announcement: will it cause a drop in IV even if goes as expected? A market starved for news will make news out of anything.

$DJI +0.1%
COMP +0.9%
SPX +0.2%

NKLA -7.6%
GM -0.9%
F +0.1%
FCAU +0.3%

TSLA +2.0%

A fourth consecutive day of TSLA all-time intraday and closing highs

ATH open too

Today's reported trading volume is very weird. The total is 36.8m. But if you look at the hourly, they are these:

hour 1: 10.8
hour 2: 6.0
hour 3: 4.2
hour 4 (only half an hour): 2.5
Total: 23.5

Any insights?

NKLA -7.6% - Should really be -37.6%...can't really understand how a company with 0 products and 0 in-house development is still worth this much.

The baseline is going "all-in" at $373 ($74.60 post-split) on March 19.

I plunged heavy into 210115C650s last week which have tripled. My IRA is up 60% since Friday's close.

"Once in a lifetime".

I've always heard "10-bagger" used to refer to a single trade or, alternatively, an average cost basis.

But I still don't see how you figure an ~8 bagger plus a 3 bagger = a 10 bagger.

I was thinking an announcement of two tranches could cause even more buying pressure next week as speculators rush to get in before indexers are forced to buy.

Right before the bottom of the hour, CNBC felt the need to mention the minor Tesla recall. For any other company, such a recall would be a non-event. I get that Tesla is high profile, but does seem odd to mention, especially when the timing of the mention by CNBC is taken into account. TSLA saw about a $6 decline right after the CNBC mention.

Odd timing, yes.

Or business as usual in the TSLA investing universe.

Actually yesterday's reporting was even worse:

H1: 9.3
H2: 6.0
H3: 3.9
H4: 3.6
H5: 3.4
H6: 3.0
H7: 2.4
Total: 31.6
Reported Total: 48.9

I found the reason TSLA´s up again today:

Unbelievable. Just wow.

BTW, this was the FSD example that immediately caused me to want my shares back today. Now looking for a Model Y.
Thanks!

I have majority at Schwab. Anyone use them for options?

The VW e-up!/Skoda Citigo IV/Seat Mii trio is EOL. Their production was supposed to end earlier this year, but VW was lacking EU ZEV Credits so they opened the order books for a limited time again this fall. Over here they offered a quote of ~200 and it was sold out in 4 days. They will produce these pre-orders thru 2021, but at some point next year it is done and they are not taking any more orders either.

The ID.1 is supposed to be replacing it, but it is not due for 2-3 more years.

Yes, they've always let me change my lots in the window between the trade and settlement.

But I still don't see how you figure an ~8 bagger plus a 3 bagger = a 10 bagger.

I meant it in terms of the total value of my IRA.

After last Friday's close, I was at 6.18x. Since then, 1.52x more (only the big 15Jan call purchase last week tripled in value). Finished up at 9.42x after the late slide. The mid-morning peak was sweet while it lasted.

FIFO can be adjusted to other sale arrangements. I’ve changed mine with my broker to LIFO (Last In First Out) for minimizing tax ramifications on trading shares.

HiCost is even better if you trade regularly -

 

[samppa]

It's been a great week! Looking forward to next 3 weeks
Time to celebrate a bit

 

[agastya]

Some very high volume OTM spreads in the options market today. Should be the MMs given the volume - does anyone know how one can find out which leg was long v/s short?

Gary Black suggests that FAANG is out and FAATAM is in:

https://twitter.com/garyblack00/status/1332331310547779584

At $579, $TSLA takes over 6th place among US stocks in market cap, joining five other mega-cap innovators with huge TAMs: Facebook - $FB Apple - $AAPL Amazon - $AMZN Tesla - $TSLA Alphabet - $GOOG Microsoft - $MSFT

Good-bye FAANG. Introducing FAATAM!

Would sound even better with an ORGANA addition.
