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 100@$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) 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.

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.

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.
Now I'm seeing big red candles...
edit: Guess not. Power E*Trade was flipping out.
Yes it does.....you're currently browsing it
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!
