Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

[jhm]

...if you're dealing in lots of 100, any reason why you couldn't sell calls at the strike price that brings your position back to the UVL, and collect the options premium, instead? (I guess using limit orders in this case gives you flexibility to more easily cancel an order, but.)

Thanks. Not interested in the risks that come with covered calls. You also don't unlock all the capital in a share writing calls.

After hours do not count with an expiring option. You need to buy next weeks option if you want play the potential S&P inclusion for tonight

I cant trade the option AH but it is my understanding that I can exercise it.

This

while I did hit the "love" button, I did not mean to infer.....

Looks like boss man told everyone to hit the 'buy' button!

Whole market turned around, not just TSLA... looks like everyone wants a good start to the weekend!

I've often fantasised... oh sorry, wrong forum...

No, seriously, I have a crazy scenario where Tesla buys GM, Ford and VW, and immediately shuts-down all ICE production.

BAF!!!

If share price keeps on climbing . . . that might be the fastest way to Elon's vision.

Although I would imagine it would be a nightmare in terms of lawsuits, unions, etc.

MIght buy some 460 calls expiring today, right before market close, hoping for an after SPoon(hopefully) pop in AH.

Are you planning on exercising them AH if they go ITM? My understanding is that typically one can alert their brokerage up until 5:30 to exercise a call; so if (big if) there's an announcement at 5:15 that gives 15 minutes to make the call. Is my understanding of that all correct?

(I don't plan on doing this myself, just interested in learning the mechanics.)

So after all this stupid run-up drama, we’re going to end up right back where we started five trading days ago?

This place is nuts. You all have one hand on the throttle and the other on the brake. I need some serious mood adjustment.

At the closing price 4pm today! If it’s out of the money at 4pm it’s worthless even if the stock goes above 460 in after hours.

So what did they talk about?

That is my understanding and my plan.

ROOKIE:
I saw the SP was 420. I opened my etrade account....set up to buy it at 420.69, and it was gone to 421. If the SP never comes down to 420.69 again/ever I should get a special designation.

 

[wipster]

Soiled yourself again, eh?

Hey, it was a good dream!

Do it again after next split.

Standard TSLA volatility. Nothing to see here

There is an acronym list in the FAQ: FAQ: TSLA Investor Discussions

but BB is missing I see. Generally I think one should avoid using acronyms that are not common (eg FAQ). Too much acronyms can easily lead to incomprehensible language for newcomers.

That's a thought, but I believe the beetles in the pudding are that if a person is so new they are not familiar with the terms, they are likely to do themselves financial harm. After they have read enough posts so that they grok the terms they are in a better position to profit from the discussions.

Depends...

Wait, that's my answer to Lycanthrope...
