Also, just had to re-post this one from Friday...

Spoiler: Volatility

My real question for options.... does all the volatility go away after today?

@Green Pete

While I admit I don't do options trading, what did I miss there? That, if the stock price declines the value of your shares declines so you lost value vs. simply selling at $500? But that would be the same result if you placed an order for [email protected]$500 -- it wouldn't fill if the stock didn't reach $500 and you would not even have the profit from having sold the call.

Anything else?

1) The Basics of Covered Calls

1) your response was pretty rudely worded
2) by having sold a call they would have cash on hand as proceeds from the sold call and still have an asset that in theory long term holds more value than it would even at the dropped price.

Personally I never sell calls or puts, I like having definite down side. But I do see the upside of selling a call in a situation where you are considering selling.

Closed up 81.3%.

Can someone name a more famous or significant stock split than this one?

Back when BRK.B split 50-1, I thought that was pretty significant. But the rise has been slow and steady, not astronomical like this one

Yep, what I had as 2B -- they would have cash on hand, the $X * 100 (minus fees), and the shares. So I didn't miss anything. Thanks!

edit: as to rude? Ah, I think I see what you mean. If so, my apologies. I definitely have no intention of offending anyone.

Not stopping AH. $509.

You are waaay behind! Try $516.67.

 

[azaz]

$516 and counting. This is a bit insane

 

[pz1975]

I bought a 2010 Roadster today. It’s hilarious that the cost of it is basically a rounding error on my TSLA gains from TODAY.

 

[amolina]

Did somebody say 5 Gordons?

 

[Prunesquallor]

$516 and counting. This is a bit insane

Now I'm seeing big red candles...
edit: Guess not. Power E*Trade was flipping out.

 

[BlackS]

Where are y’all watching for S&P news? Does S&P have a news feed that’s the best place to watch?

Yes it does.....you're currently browsing it

 

[dl003]

I try to tell myself that I don't know what's going on, but the last 2 times I allowed myself to venture too far into lalaland, the rug got pulled hard. This AH doesn't make any sense, nor will it tomorrow if we open 4%+.

Quick story:

I bought TSLA after reserving my Model 3 a few years ago, my plan was to hold pretty much forever. I was into Tesla hook line and sinker, I'm a lifer. I never thought I would sell, then Covid hid and it shook me out of my position at 820. I was certain it was going to be a rough Q2 and I would buy back after everything settled down, and anyways, I made a nice gain. Then the mother of all rallies hit. Every day I watched the stock thinking, I can't buy now it's too high. I said that at 900, 1,000, 1,200, 1,500, 2,000. Then the split, I can't buy now. FOMO is a real thing.

Finally this morning, I put all that aside and bought back in my original amount of shares. Yes, it is 6 times less that I would have had, but I'm trying not to think of that. It feels great to be back on this ride!

 

[Sparky4life]

So now I have way more TSLA in my portfolio than I like holding of one company (six figures). Any suggestions on what investments to buy if I sell a big chunk of my TSLA shares?

I suggest diversifying across tesla energy, tesla auto, tesla data services, tesla software, and tesla AI.

Anyone finding it hard to work right now?

My new job is refreshing the stock quote page

 

[BlackS]

Closed up 81.3%.

Reminds me of 1999 when QCOM split twice in 7 months....Would be crazy if $TSLA did that as well.

 

[henchman24]

I could be (and hope to be) wrong, but I don't see the S&P making the decision until after the initial 2-3 days split surge. Earliest I see is Weds, but next Mon-Weds seems a lot more likely to me.

 

[Mike Smith]

My trading account is now up 32,140% since November, which is within my target range for acceptable performance.
