I can give you an example from a newbie options trader. I sold my first 2 puts last Friday morning when the SP was in the 740s, after dropping from the 900s on Tuesday. I decided if it dipped further, I wouldn't mind buying 200 more shares. I sold a $710 put contract expiring 2/14 for $3100 and a $650 put contract expiring 2/14 for $1240. If the SP is below $650 at the close tomorrow I will have to buy 200 shares for $136,000. If it is between $650 and $710 I will have to buy 100 shares for $71,000. If it is above $710 both puts will expire worthless. In all cases I keep the $4340 premium I received when I sold the puts.Just to educate us, can you give an example of where it worked and didn’t work for you and what happened? Approx. values for prices...
Fortunately for you, one is not able to sell puts in an IRA account. There will be many on this board, unaware of the drastic ramifications of selling puts at the wrong time, that will be paying for the rest of their lives for failed put sales. Not pretty. JMO.
Selling options can be extremely dangerous. Losses are not capped and can be infinite. Just ask the people who sold calls during TSLA's rise from $180 to $960.
If you aren't an experienced trader, stick to buying options. At least the most you can lose is only 100% assuming you're not TT007 buying options on margin.
I don't believe this - I just sold off my Feb 21 calls yesterday at market close, thinking Thurs and Fri will be down days, and I can use the cash to add more stock. And today the stock jumps up by $40!!! Missed out on 28K in additional gains
Even worse, I didn't place any orders to buy more stock since I was busy in meetings all day. So now my account is flush with cash, but the stock has shot up over $800.
Tomorrow better be a red day. So just for 1 day, I am rooting for the shorts and manipulators
That aged well!Another "headline" from MarketWatch
Tesla stock slammed as company announces plan to issue up to $2 billion in new shares
Tesla stock slammed as company announces plan to issue up to $2 billion in new shares
So thoughts on tomorrow....did the price get set at 800?
Will we have a MMD?
Are dog's really smarter than cat's?
3 disagrees for this, why???? I was just expressing my annoyance at myself for having missed out a buying opportunity simply because I was too busy to check the stock price all day today. Many people here have joked about wanting a lower price to buy more.
Apart from the Hyperchange video I haven't really seen it discussed but isn't the change of planned CapEx spending in the 10-K from Q3 compared to Q4 a sure indication that they actually do have plans to invest in something?
Q3 estimate that capital expenditures will be between $2.0 to $2.5 billion annually for the next two fiscal years.
Q4 average annual capital expenditures in 2020 and the two succeeding fiscal years to be $2.5 billion to $3.5 billion.
That's a change of the average from $2.25 billion a year to $3 billion a year. Potentially from $2 billion to $3.5 billion. That's up to $1.5 billion more per year for the next couple of years. Consider that they only spent about $1.5 billion in 2019 that's 50-100% more.
Since the cost of China and Germany should have been clear already when Q3 was released they must be planning something they didn't know they would do for sure 3 months ago.
So yeah, either a new GF earlier than planned or they made the decision to build something huge for battery production.
Can't really see much else they could be spending that kind of money on.
By the way. That 10-K is something like 250 pages. At least the first 130 or so seems to be info that one might find useful as an investor. If I wasn't self-employed I think I would have to quit my job to keep up.
It’s possible we run up to the previous high close of $887.06. There’s just not a lot of resistance here. Not advice but I’m thinking a lot of folks buy themselves and their sweetheart/significant-other some TSLA stock, before the long weekend, with FOMO in full force. That’s why I picked up a handful of $900s for tomorrow...just in case. Worst case, I’m out a few hundred bucks...
I vote for another factory. Not just because it might be in Texas, but because it gives indisputable evidence of global demand and rapid growth. When was the last time any company broke ground on three new factories within two years?It is sort of unusual as they appear to have done the raise before the investor day(s) explaining why the raise was needed...
The most obvious likely spending expansions are:-
Or it could be something else... but they are obviously investing to grow the business..
- GF Texas - Cybertruck...
- Maxwell battery packs
- Tesla insurance...
- GF Berlin / GF Shanghai - accelerated ramp
- Increase Model 3/Y production at Fremont (not confident on this one)....
EDIT:: Tesla insurance spending would be an acquisition..
PG&E’s Fire Victims Are Set to Become Its Biggest Shareholders | WSJ.com (15 hrs ago)
Blue sky'ing this here folks, not suggesting what could or should happen:
How much would it cost for Tesla to buy PG&E (the bankrupt NorCal Electric Utility)?
What are the advantages, disadvantages, risks to owning such a utility?
Thanks for your thoughts. All discussion warmly received... (NOT a fire season joke!)
Cheers!
