Time to dip into kids college fund

 

[TheTalkingMule]

Wish I could tell at a glance if LEAPs were "cheap", I really need to get myself up to speed on IV calculations. It's probably pretty easy to see how moves like today are impacting IV, as a dumb human I just want to make sure I'm getting a better bargain than yesterday's dumb human! Perhaps a stroll through the Trading thread....

Couldn't get to my account before a $750 order triggered. A drop like this isn't gonna bottom out at 10:25!!!! Ah well, missed a couple bucks.

So if I invest the money from the kids college fund and then buy even more on margin, does that mean my kids have to stop school in 8th grade if stock keeps going down?

Who needs a BA or BS when you can just BTFD?

Fine, I'll buy more calls. July $760s added to the pile.

Wondering if I should sell some shares and convert them to LEAPs.

I am wondering the same

75 @ $750 BTFD !!! let the correction dollar cost averaging commence

 

[buttershrimp]

Hold!

Ok placed an order at 735, will try to grab some more, just for fun

Any clues as to points of resistance at this point?

Word. This 7 handle is getting ridic. Tree's been shooken dudes!

My Mar 19 call is up today despite TSLA tanking nearly 5%. If it can shift back into D, that will send call values skyrocketing. Just waiting for the rocket fuel to ignite.

Generally resistance to these stop-loss pushdowns is lunch. Generally.

Yeah, you can make a pretty good argument that we've come to the end of this most recent "consolidation period" of low volume/volatility and it has to break one way or the other. IMO this morning action is MM attempting to make that direction down. If you don't buy into that, this is a free additional 6% as we prepare for the next leg up. To commence......Wednesday?

Some more sites spotted:-
https://twitter.com/Yaghus2/status/1362713474028220416 Wyton and Alconbury - 6000 cars

Note the speculation on Tesla replacing Merc/BMW due to UK company car changes (Benefit In Kind - BIK) - also applies to lots of EU where company cars are a big part of the new market.

View attachment 638043

Tesla effect - lease rates/OEM financials for other makes of car will suffer. I suspect independent lease companies (esp for company cars) will penalise legacy OEMs but support Tesla/EVs

I spoke with someone at the weekend about something else. I've never mentioned this subject with them before (dumping new/nearly new ICE cars by the thousand in storage areas).

Towards the end of the call, they changed the subject to talk about this! I can't verify anything.

Some notes:-

1) They mentioned other locations (I didn't know them)

2) Lots of break ins by thieves, stealing catalytic converters & subsystems with lots of chips (for the chips)

3) At least one legacy OEM cannibalising stored vehicles for engine parts.

4) Their own company (not cars) struggling to get chips they need

On the daily chart 730 area and then 695. There's really not a whole lot of support when you look at the daily chart. Need something, you know a FSD subscription or Elon email leak lol.

I'm buying more calls, this is goof city

 

[M|S|M MYP]

Eh...i just look at today as the spring still being coiled....nas is down across the board...no need to panic.

Slight shift to covid recovery stocks like CCL and Disney. I wouldn't worry about today as tsla is just having a run of the mill dip vs my other high PE growth stocks. I don't mind tsla dip if everyone is suffering. Just hate those days when tsla is down and everyone else having a party.

 

[asburgers]

What's the macro driver today? I am unable to find anything coherent other than a "case of the Mondays".

We're testing support at start-of-year levels today: here's the YTD chart

Note we've already tested the Closing SP from the 2nd day of the year, and we've touched intraday SPs which occurred on the 1st day of 2021.

Cheers!

Bought some April 16th 880s for $27

May dip into more leaps as that is what originally made me so rich, but holy cow they are EXPENSIVE NOW
