Good question, but it's a "rebalancing", so every other stock in the S&P and their relative gains/losses need to be taken into account (must be one hellavu Excel the SPY Guys maintain), it's not about $TSLA SP in isolationI find it suspiciously coincidental that TSLA trades right around the S&P500 inclusion price ($695) as we approach the next rebalancing date Mar.19 (tomorrow). Is there some tangible benefit to some MMs or other whales to keep the status quo and not rock the boat, so much that they would be willing to spend $$$ to manipulate the price ? I mean apart from the usual option expiry max-pain.
Of course it's skewed towards the big players, looking at these a couple have lost value since $TSLA inclusion, two are on-par, a couple have out-performed
My conclusion is that not much changes for $TSLA holdings, but could be that all the other 493 stocks had big gains, don't know, but my guess is that we won't see a huge sell-off on the back of this, but at least the MM's will have avoided more forced buying
If anyone with an actual functioning brain knows better, then shoot...
