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

[lafrisbee]

You

It takes but seconds to help yourself. It takes more time for someone to repeatedly type out that which is common knowledge to those in their circle.

Please consider a simple Google search next time. Here's two links to get you started:

EV acronyms.
All acronyms.

You are like the child that has his parents tie his shoes because it is so easy when they do it. There is NO credible source that believes using acronyms is acceptable in a common area. And if it was just "EV" acronyms I would not have mentioned it... but in any one page on this forum I will encounter acronyms of chemistry, finance, and even ones that people just make up...like referring to the Model S as MS, and then the next post will refer to Morgan Stanley as MS. Then there are those that write LIP when they are referring to LFP's, just because they can...
Making a sentence read well is the responsibility of the writer. not the reader. The writer could write out "Model S" (or Morgan Stanley) ONE time and then everyone would know which they are talking about.
The worst of the lot invent their own acronyms.
But it needs to stop completely across the board because the practice is detrimental to the flow of information. Period.

OK, bought some at $885. You may proceed to the $900.03 close now.

I'm surprised people still react to $15 moves. That's like 1.5%. Daily noise.
I feel like $50 or $100 moves are the ones worth observing.

Here is what i am going through:

1. Bought small share to test the water

Stock price went up
Up..
Up..

2. Buy few more, converted all IRA to TSLA

Stock price Up..
Up..
Up..

3. Sold all other stocks and converted to TSLA in my trading account

Up..
Up..

4. Start borrowing margin to get more stocks.




Right now i am resisting temptation to get 2nd mortgage to fuel my addiction.

Edit: i know this is not healthy. Follow this at your own risks.. lol

I think many of us struggle with that. So much exposure is very risky but the probable outcome is still good. Now, I have a lot more money in TSLA than I did last year, but most of that is due to price appreciation so I feel better about risking that house money.

That's where I draw the line.

The house does not belong to me, it belongs to the family. I can take some unhealthy risks with my money and hope that my wife saves me if it all goes up in smoke, but family's safety and peace of mind is not to be gambled with.

I'm on course to exercise 2/21 800c today that will take my margin to -$100k+.
Would be the first for me, which is why I'm interested in doing it.

Hoping everyone's crystal balls are working and next week we'll see some moves up that will help me pay that margin off without selling shares.

Oh, btw added 3/20
3 1880c
1 1200c

This is crazy, but look at those crazy $3k I spent before ER on 700-800c, which turned into like $50k. Idk, I lost count what they sold for. This is a sacrifice inspired by @anthonyj.
Do not expect 1880s to be ITM by a long shot. But TSLA craziness has no bounds.

I know what you mean. I took out two lines of credit a couple years ago and put it into Tesla stock. Probably going to sell my condo soon and move into a rented townhouse so I can charge my car. Might put some of that into Tesla stock. House prices are attached to oil prices in my city and I don’t see a good future for oil prices at all. Might as well put that tied up capital into something at appreciates.

So there is no collusion among money makers is there? Do they all just click a button and pin it at a certain price then the algorithms buy / sell as necessary?

Good luck with that...

Perhaps spend more than one day on this forum and learn. Complaining out of the gate is a non starter. Telling people what they should be doing in a condescending tone is not helpful.

I tried to help you. Please take it for what it was intended.

Blah, re-bought my $875 call for today, for market around $899 - $2450, which is a loss of $450, but looks like I would have lost that anyway, plus I'd get around $400 costs (transaction fee plus 0.4% tax), AND I don't want to give away shares for such a low amount, More likely to be able to sell them Monday for more money than that.

Tuesday was totally against the flow and today's strength incredible!

Still up $3700 on this week's options trades... Will play next week too

I sold 1 call for 905 30 minutes from closing for 17 dollars. Now I'm monitoring the stock price like a madman hoping that it doesn't get called away. I'm definitely losing more than 17 dollars of productivity here.

I waffled on the hotwheels CT and now it's sold out. Of course I keep telling myself that for the price of 100 of these I could just buy a real Cybertruck. I did order 2 of the small ones for my kids though.

In my case, I meant "house money" as in "playing with the house (casino) money", not actually my home. lol

I'm also funding my 401ks to the point where even worst case I won't have to eat dog food in retirement. And yes, those pre-earnings options were sooo juicy. If I only knew how much I could be retired already.

 

[UnknownSoldier]

TSLA showing some ridiculous strength going into the close here. Next week might be good.

 

[Ameliorate]

!!! 901 !!! Strong Close, well done friends.

 

[Drumheller]

Ha! Everyone that called 900 was WRONG!


901

 

[wipster]

Now that's the way to close the week baby!

 

[CyberDutchie]

Someone wanted 901 — very large blocks with 901 ask in the last minute of trading

Thanks for proving my point COMPLETELY.
What you said was, "We don't care about new members, and we are as lazy and exclusive a group as we can be. Newcomers are not welcome. Anyone here should not have to consider trying to communicate appropriately. Learn our secret code or you can't climb into the tree house.

IF you are talking human brewed then I haven't a clue. However I am sure that Martians have already invented beer.

Maybe that's where it originally came from! A true case of what goes around comes around...

 

[pz1975]

The pin to $900 is so predictable. I sold $875 then later $895 puts through the day - easy free $1,500.

They even let me sell 10 $905 calls 2 minutes from close for some reason for $10 each - it was a free guaranteed $80. That will pay for dinner tomorrow night at the hockey game I’m going to.
