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

[Artful Dodger]

Comparing open interest from yesterday to today, it looks like someone opened about 10,000 puts at 950.

That's a steep wall to climb for MMs. Strongly supports a Friday Close at or above $950 or MMs (Put writers) pay dearly.

Let's continue to watch Options action. This was extremely helpful last week (MMs payout was a miniscule $14K after all their SP manipulations).



Cheers!

if $1000 is the new $300, does that mean we should now look forward to

$3333.333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333333?

 

[EVortex]

Any predictions for Triple Witching Friday?

If you play it backwards it says, "Buy Tesla!"

I think it actually plays "Spinning Wheel" by Blood, Sweat, and Tears...

OT - Anybody buying ENPH lottery tickets for Friday? I bought some 5c 55 calls.

Not sure what to make of the report from Prescient. They have made these allegations before so given how much the stock has dropped it might not be a bad idea to buy some calls for next month expiry. Not advice and definitely OT.

Is this new? Obligatory Fred alert.

if $1000 is the new $300, does that mean we should now look forward to

$3333.33?

As that great sage Dennis Hopper once said, 'the 90s will make the 60s look like the 50s'.

Cheers!

The Wolfpack Berlin has released a new video from earlier today in Grüneheide:

Any predictions for Triple Witching Friday?

My prediction is a whole lot of what we just saw in the past 30 mins

The age old walk down method. I could see the stock breaking through 1,000 multiple times throughout the rest of the week only to be walkdown to just below each time.

Damn, they didn't have to take it seriously...

Doing my part, picked up a few more shares and new panels going in today to fill in some gaps

Any predictions for Triple Witching Friday?

Open interest and daily trading volume are high for both TSLA puts and calls for the $1000 strikes that expire Friday. Big option writers (mainly hedge funds and market makers) may want to do what they can to keep the share price near $1000. Of course news or ordinary trading interest could upset their plans.

 

[phantasms]

@Papafox Quick question.

You often stated that you've made enough money on TSLA that it's not worth it for you to wake up early on Monday morning to make a quick buck off the stock. You could buy Friday and sell on Monday for a quick short play. You obviously know this. Why don't you do this instead?

 

[JustSaying]

A business' total asset is financed through debts and equity. Low leverage means a low debt : equity ratio, meaning the meat of the business belongs to shareholders, not lenders. The Bible said debtors are slaves to lenders and this is not a slavery joke. During times of crisis, these companies are not at risk of premature termination due to inability to meet short term debt servicing obligation. So I think time is the operating concept. Given enough times, most companies can turn around and generate profits. A low leverage company just has more time on its hand. Much like a LEAP option is valued more than a weekly of the same strike because it has higher time value. This is an unnecessarily excessive amount of words and analogies to just to say HODL.
I said the same thing back in March

Update: GM's D:E has changed to 1.83 from 1.43
General Motors Company (GM) Debt Equity Ratio (Quarterly) - Zacks.com
Ford went from 3.05 to 3.85
Ford Motor Company (F) Debt Equity Ratio (Quarterly) - Zacks.com
They all took on more debts, a lot of them
Meanwhile, Tesla went from 1.55 DOWN to 1.05, thanks to the equity raise in February
Tesla Inc (TSLA) Debt Equity Ratio (Quarterly) - Zacks.com
Would you look at that. I think I'm giving myself FOMO.

When and how much will be the next convertible debt that get exercised?

I thought Tesla solar doesn't do flat roof, did that change?

 

[LN1_Casey]

A *small youtube channel that is describing this old man's Model Y ordering and delivery process. It's very well documented, and filmed (if a little 'testing out film editing' feel). Particularly, it shows the touchless delivery process that San Diego has up, as the car was delivered in May 28th.

<snip> Corrected below.

 

[kengchang]

Also, interesting note, is that he got the base model Y. I thought they were delivering the higher levels first? Did they really catch up so quickly in their ramp that they're filling the base models?

AWD is hardly base...

 

[LN1_Casey]

AWD is hardly base...

Where did you notice that? I heard him describe it as "base level model Y."

Edit: Ahh, I found the section. You're right, it's not the Standard range, just the lowest currently available.

Somebody more knowledgeable than me on the matter has to answer this question

Barron’s – half hour ago: Tesla Cracks $1,000 Again Despite Lousy State Sales Data

Excerpt:

Investors are looking past the data for a couple of reasons. The recent registration numbers, of course, were affected by Covid-19. What's' more, a lot of Tesla's growth is coming overseas, especially in China. China is the world's largest market for electric vehicles, and Tesla began delivering Chinese-built cars from its new Shanghai plant around the start of 2020.

And the news isn't moving the stock because it wasn't a surprise.
