Yep, I totally agree with you. Just not sure we will reach $1000 this year
And it turns out, my super conservative husband - who I have written here about before - with his entire portfolio in bonds managed by Fidelity, wants to get in the TSLA game! He actually took the trouble last week of calling Fidelity to release 100K of his money from the bonds for him to trade. He just texted me that he purchased 100 shares in his account. I had to call him to confirm that he understands that this is a volatile investment, he could lose a big chunk tomorrow - says he is OK with it. Jeez, hope I don't have to listen to continuous whining if the stock does drop
As for me, I decided to try a different strategy - sold puts @420 for next Friday with cash to cover the puts - got $38 each. If battery day turns out to be a 'sell the news' event and SP drops below 420, I will get the shares for cost basis of 382. If it is a 'mind-blown' event that propels the SP up, well I get to keep the premium.
Now the question is, should I go for some highly speculative calls for Nov/Dec expiration? These would cover battery day and P&D report. The IV is so high and the premiums are really expensive - but can be very rewarding if there is a spike in SP. Decisions decisions - such first world problems I have
