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

This thread is on page 11,618. Surely we aren't going to keep recycling this thread for another year? Or are we going to try and crash the forum database?

I continue to believe that DITM long-dated CALLs have a good risk/reward with regards to premium & leverage, e.g. Mar 2022 200 CALLs offer a leverage of 1.33, at a time premium of $9

even if the stock price is cut in half tomorrow due to some macro events, I believe you could still roll them out.

I have absolutely no idea a) what you're talking about or b) what I'm looking at...

Options, to me, are a visceral thing. You can quote your delta, gamma, theta, whateva, but common sense trumps the lot, IMO.

P.S. don't try this at home, kids...

The active members of this forum know that a humongous transformation in transport and energy is about to hit an inflection point,

Yet by obsessively (at least in my case) reading hundreds of posts per day analyzing every small detail of this transformation, it is all proceeding in super slow motion.

The downside of this is that we tend to spend too much time on things that will just be footnotes later (the current pedo trial being a prime example).

The upside is that the better this story becomes, the more exquisite the detail.

So I look at it this way: if we knew we were about to have the greatest sex of our lives, would we rush it, or take it as slow as possible?

I wrote that in early December 2019. The SP was just beginning to rise out of a five-year lull.

Whether or not this year was akin to the greatest sex of your life, I hope you took the time to enjoy it.

Here's to more rolling in the hay in 2021!

Fine fine fine, now that I've done my charitable giving for the year, I'll support this fine site that facilitates such excellent knowledge sharing.

A LEAPS question to all.

Yesterday my Ameritrade account was showing 2023 Mar17 leaps to be 130$ bid but open interest was 0 for all the available OTM calls. Today it is up by 20$ and the open interest numbers is a lot.

What happened? Did a bunch of people wrote calls overnight?

These are soooooo expensive. The ITM ones are even way more expensive. Who buys at these crazy prices? What logic do you use to calculate if buying leaps is cheaper vs stocks?

Old news for Patron supporters.

Seriously folks, throw a few coins to them Witchers...

Retail investor here, but I did, but only to manage positions, -- against Sold Jan 23's from a while back. Closed most of the Jan 23's, but decided to shadow 4 of them with 5 March Calls. Different strikes, but roughly same Delta - but with march 23 having more leverage. cheers!!

Stick to English, dude!

 

[Tslynk67]

The after-hours price is the final price from the contracts point of view?

Yes, no, maybe. What was the question?

 

[Tslynk67]

OK, seem I'm the only one left standing/sober (I'm not...)...

So, hey, what a freaky year! By most measures the worse since, well whenever, but by TMC metrics, many of us got disgustingly rich.

Tough one to compute...

Wishing you all a better 2021, financially, or otherwise

 

[Motor Mouth]

Congratulations to all involved in this virtuous cycle we call TMC! Best of wishes for a new and even better 2021.

All thanks to EM and the TSLA team.

I don't know what everyone is so darn happy about.

It's like you've forgotten there is another of those Loooooooooong weekends ahead.

Okay, happy New Year y'all!

And a different looooong weekend at that. Not very often that we (in the US at least) probably awake to all time high production and delivery figures to start the day and the year! It boggles my mind!

Ditto my friend, but it's gonna really be hard to beat this year... almost unbelievable. Maybe I never woke up?

 

[vikings123]

This is very disappointing. No reports of any Elon email leaks yet?

Come on people let’s not start celebrating too early , there’s still some unfinished business before we can put a bow on this thread . Let’s get back to work.

Happy New Year, hope everyone has a healthy 2021.

Yep thanks to this forum. There is no way to prove it but my guess there has never been such a large group of investors with more conviction than here where their wildest dreams were realized.

Keep your feet on the ground and figure out how to do some good with your gains.

Happy New Year everyone.

 

[EVortex]

Happy New Year, TMC!

Congratulations to the Teslanaires and future Teslanaires. Thanks for the education, information, jokes, and fun while HODLing and watching the SP rocket like a Falcon 9.

Can’t wait to see what 2021 will bring!

 

[xhawk101]

Happy new year to all and thanks for the incredible insights and camaraderie from this forum.

So vindicated and incredible during such a year of pain and trauma.

Fortunate to have gotten my solar glass roof in as well during a most epic year for tsla.

Long since January 11, 2012.

It's English, with some words borrowed from the Greeks.

 

[Phobi]

All the very best to past, present, and future Teslanaires and their loved ones in 2021!

The changes this year will send ripples far into the future, but we can say with conviction that things are finally moving in the right direction.

To the mission going forward and all the many things that will follow with it. Thank you TMC. So very much

Holy!
Zero Intervention FSD from San Francisco city center to Los Angeles.

If Omar pulled this off then how soon are we going to see the Coast to Coast FSD video? I’m willing to bet we see the official video from Tesla when FSD subscription is unveiled in the next two months.

 

[FireMedic]

I LOVE the tesla flag. Gotta get me one of those. Beautiful roof and view btw.

Fortunate to have gotten my solar glass roof in as well during a most epic year for tsla.
