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

[Blue horseshoe]

Option premiums have spiked with implied volatility now at 93%. In the last year we have been below that volatility number 88% of the time. Not only is it a good time to start looking at selling calls and puts (if you're so inclined) but I suspect that such high premiums and volatility will attract a lot of traders.

Yea, everything but capeesh.

The day is not over....although it feels like it.

Me too, I just bought shares at $862 with margin.

I was just thinking, the last time I bought TSLA around $862 was several years ago, and those shares are now worth 5 times that. I wonder how many years it will be until THESE NEW shares are worth 5 times more too?

Hyper growth ain't linear...as you know!

25 more at $858.. feels like March 2020 bargains again ... ... i really thought i was done accumulating TSLA ... this is too good to pass up ...

Went in for more on margin, had to lookup what the margin limit was just to make sure I was still leaving a sufficient buffer, it can drop another 20% before I need to worry

IMO a rate hike here would be a mistake. Stick to the hawkish rhetoric and plan of shrinking balance sheet and three rate hikes this year. Market has gotten the message. Economy already looking sick. Stimulus drying up. Fed needs to acknowledge speed at which things go bad in today’s hyper connected world. Feedbacks loops are a helluva drug.

I would laugh my head off if the FED called the bluff and said something along the lines of.... 'Since the market has pre-freaked out over the rate hike, we feel it's priced in so the market is telling us to raise.'

VIX is doing a u-turn. Perhaps the worst is over?

Unless you have an SI tracker. Looks linear to me.

A lot of effort going into keeping TSLA down this morning - serious spoofing happening (started in the pre-market).

$900 is obviously the morning target - "they" hammer TSLA every time it dares to run over $900. Likely need some help from the macros. But, if we can get that help, could see the tricksters get steamrolled. If not, Wednesday could be/should be the catalyst we need to set the market straight about the realties when it comes to TSLA, rather than the perverted narrative created by the shorts/hedgies.

Bought the dip and felt like a gambling degenerate. Is this the way?

I've found that if I feel good about a buy it's probably a bad one. It's the buys that come with a queasy feeling that print.

This is the Way.

Wen Hertz #2 announcement?

A capitulating Fed would appear confused, which would only contribute to the uncertainty.

I'm BUYING THE DIP....shook loose the couch cushion coins and picked up four more chairs. I might even delay my order of a gorgeous digital piano to make sure I can take advantage of the fire sale here.

Even if TSLA shoots up 30% after earnings, we’d still be $100 below ATH. This drop is insane.

To be clear, that assumes we are flat from the time of your post until earnings are announced. C'mon people, let's say what we mean.
