Well buy-and-hold folks, you can start shaking your heads now. I just put my brass balls and peanut brain on the table, and converted my shares to LEAP call spreads. I'm basically all LEAP call spreads now (250 / 400). I just can't see the share price staying this depressed for 2 years given even a conservative growth in earnings and PE ratio. And I'm willing to risk a lot on that bet.
Shorter term - 1 year: This means my trade moves ~ 2x with TSLA price changes. Don't have to wait until expiration to exit.
1.5 - 2ish years:
> ~$350 share price: 500% return on investment (vs 110% for shares)
~ $300: 150% ROI (vs 70% for shares)
~ $280: Same as holding shares
< 250:
So you can monitor my mood over the next 2 years with this simple breakdown.
If the stock is under $250 in 2 years, don't be surprised if I disappear only to be seen on Twitter raging on how VW software is far superior to Tesla's.
