Just look at the volume for these call contracts from 2200 to 2500. It is very likely some big fish sold a bunch of contracts to trigger that drop.

I am the only one miserable right now...
A newbie stupid mistake is costing me dearly...DEARLY.
About $130/share since I got did the dumb move of trying to afdd a couple of shares by selling and trying to re-buy within 48 hpurs of each other....
You guys enjoy this for me. Vuz I can't. and I halfway called it.
I made a big &$*#up too.

I sold my 420 shares at 650$ when it crashed during covid.

I had bought at $305 and $905, had average cost of $600.

then I bought back at $800. Sold it all at $1150 because I let others convince me it would go down in the $700 on the Covid second wave.
There was only a meteoric rise and I bought back 240 shares at $1550.

I went from 420 shares to 240 shares, not high.I can enjoy the ride up, but I lost half my clothes during the roller coaster ride.

It's a nice theory. But in this case, the only reason I need the money "now", is because I've invested them in the first place and they have grown 10x in 2 years. :)
If that is the case, why do you need the money? I don't get it. Is it really just burning a hole in your investing account?

I've actually contemplated selling some of my holding, but not seriously. If Tesla was doing solar where I live and I couldn't get a loan (likely) then I might consider selling some to get it. I'm still undecided on how I'll swing the cybertruck, but I may have to sell some shares for it as well. Will just have to see if I can get another loan when the time comes. Even a poor interest rate is going to be less than the stock appreciation.

When I first started buying I was pretty aggressive considering my financial situation and talked my wife into some of it as "just for now, we can sell it once the stock goes up" some nonsense like if it doubled we could sell half and the left over would be "free shares". That was late 2018 and around $300/share and I still haven't sold a single share. At this point it wouldn't be short term capital gains tax, but even without selling shares my situation has changed and I might actually owe taxes next year so I'm still holding off and, at this point, I expect to keep holding off until I hit mandatory withdrawals from the IRA or $TSLA hits at least $7000/share (pre-split). At $10k/share I could even consider retiring. (Those numbers go up with inflation, but down with continued stock purchases, so for pure speculation purposes I consider it a wash.)
