Dunno what you're talking about. That headline screams "We're ready to invest 50 billion dollars in a brand new core competency"

That's the problem. They are about 10 years too late.

My momma taught me to plan ahead when I was in kindergarten.

Montana Skeptic publishes a SA article and the market responds

Maybe he's secretly a TSLA long and pumping TSLA the only way he knows how!

That ventilator contract money can't come too soon for GM eh?

Only if they make money on their ventilater spare parts, annual tuneups, and the extended warrantee. Assuming no recalls.

In my mind, F and GM can't recover. Only fresh companies with the right focus will survive long term. Many square pegs, only one or two round holes.

It is. I'm still bailing though. I've found IBKR to have a really good interface as well. Not quite as user friendly for novices but far more powerful tools. RH kills everyone on options though. I still use them to look up prices even if I'm buying the actual options elsewhere.

Well, I am not going anywhere near options so...I'm good!

I am doing the same.... using RH just to look at the option prices. I am using Vanguard to trade options in my IRA and it is terrible.... there is no stop loss options or anything and prices don't get updated real time. I think I am going to have to move my IRA and my wife IRA from Vanguard

I hate myself for only buying 1 $550 1/21 call when they were $97.

Yeah I only do a little bit of options in my Vanguard IRA. It's still really geared towards basic index fund investing. Fidelity user interface is decent.

Woke up at $789 and now sleepless ...
Hold sell hold sell hold sell ....?

Nobody but you is thinking about selling. Hope that tells you something, although i doubt it will, based on your one-note posting history.

OMG you want to talk about self-loathing from not buying more when they were dirt cheap?
Like a blind squirrel I bought a Jan 22 750c when they were $28. I kept thinking to myself, “This really seems like a no brainer” but since I was newer to options kept telling myself I didn’t know anything and I’d lose it all.

Wow, that was some interesting capping at neat 800--it looks like Tesla had a lawn mower trim for those 10 minutes.

It is going to be an interesting week. I’ve been a proponent of selling covered calls during low news weeks. This is not one of those a weeks. I missed April 15 625 calls on April 9th at $7.20 by a coupe cents and didn’t chase. I’d expect the day traders could get in and out this week, but buying calls is buying a lot of volatility premium and selling calls is possibly missing out on a very bullish earnings call. Good luck everyone.

When phones switched primarily over to cellphones, almost the entire lineup of top phone manufacturers changed.

Then it happened again when cellphones gave way to Smartphones.

EVs taking over ICE will be no different. There is very little knowledge base overlap between ICe vehicles and EVs by value add. Skills at making reliable piston engines and transmissions are useless.

If she does not close over 800 today....I will eat a replica of @Artful Dodger hat.

10% down one day, 10% up the next day.

Just another day in the life of a TSLA investor amirite?

Our life only consists of short burn days and buying opportunity days
oh and of course weekends and holidays
