Yeah, I wish I had sold my house, spouse, child, and cat back in June. Wait, did I say that aloud?

Yeah, we're not all flush with money like some other lucky bastardsReally enjoyed the conversation I just had with my wife. "Remember the really stupid big purchase I made at $382 after the going private announcement? After staring at it in the red for 15 months, happy to report that we have now made over $30k on that trade" So glad when TSLA makes me look like I know what I'm doing.
here. In fact, still a worse performance than S&P over the same time, but finally it's starting to feel good, like you've not made a terrible mistake.Hopefully, in a few years it will feel a lot better.

2 weeks ago I sold a few $400 covered calls expiring this week. I actually had to buy them back a couple hours ago - can't believe it! I still made 50% profit but was sure they would expire worthless when I sold them.
That NL-NO-SP delivery graph doesn’t seem very up to date. The last day shows a flat line. Yet, on Monday we had 648 Model 3 deliveries in The Netherlands and yesterday 665, a new record. Today’s number is not known yet, but Norway had 106 deliveries today, so that flat line has to be at least three days old. The real graph is looking like the SP graph at the moment.

Back when the stock fell below $200 this past summer, I was posting on a non-Tesla related forum. We were all posting pictures of our cars. I posted my Model S and said, "Ain't she sweet?" One of the other posters replied with this:
"My put position on TSLA can buy twenty of those (new). Sweet indeed!!"
Of course, other posters joined in and bashed Tesla - pointed out the fires in China, and then a crash on AP, etc. They were having a good ole circle jerk. Of course, I let them have their fun. But I can't tell you how satisfying it was today to let him know that not only had those 20 new Tesla's vanished, but if he didn't cover soon, he'd be buying me my next Tesla.
You gotta enjoy the good days when you can!

Can you post how much sell orders are out there for $395, $400 and above?

I'm definitely pro carpe diem, but it's all about the last laugh. And that one's in the bag.

Yea, cause he's still over there is delusionville thinking something he tweets is REALLY going to affect the SP. Poor dude is in a bad spot. Can't say I feel bad for him. In fact, quite contrarily, I'm downright enjoying it. I hope it gets 50 times worse for him. I can't really even post what I wish for him.
Here is a thought to explain the recent surge in TSLA..
On DEC 10th - Aramaco went public and the Saudi family (rumored to once be interested in taking TSLA private) received a bucket of cash.
Look at the price of TSLA since their IPO - it has been unconventionally up and up.
Could some of that cash sitting in their bucket be deployed into acquiring TSLA shares since they want a piece of the Company to 1) front run the likely increase due to S&P inclusion or 2) just to give them something to have in the garage sorta speak - help's with future branding and washing away smell of oil...
If true - the irony of oil money being used to boost TSLA and wipe out all shorts is beyond awesome.. Someone we all know once said - faith loves irony.. This would be it..
Cheers to those who have withstood the nonsense over the past couple of years, especially this last one. Here is to the crazy ones!

I don’t think being short via puts has much of any impact on the SP. If they’re in the green, they get exercised, causing a buy on the open market, and a pre-arranged sale at a set price. If not, they expire worthless and whoever sold the puts pockets the money from them.
Looks like our fun for the day is over
Macros are a drag during this hour.
Just don’t sell your dog.
That would be heartless

Lol, you mean beyond the 5% OTA increase you got for free this past Fall? Alrighty then...

Even with the drag of the macro's.....if you look at the sell volume/orders coming in, they're following the usual bear attack/capping method which is easy to spot and distinguish between investor selling. Evenly spaced sell orders of around the same amount continuously.
