Need $568 for Tesla to move past Berkshire to #6.
NIO is now worth more than GM (and Ford and FCA, etc.)
I also added back the March 18 data point I'd lost - the low water mark for 2020. This highlights TSLA growing almost 10x in less than a year!

Xpeng is also now worth more than Ford... To be honest, I feel like today's run is more of an EV sector run than it is a TSLA run. XPEV up almost 20%, NIO up almost 8%, while TSLA is up a little over 5.5% as of right now.
PS - wow, I just realized that NKLA is back over $27 too. Still can't understand who's buying lol.
Correct. Yes, I know that’s timing, and it’s a lot of cash. I’m definitely not certain of a Friday pullback. Just hopeful. I’m thinking that with Thanksgiving week, the volume will be low and the MM / Hedge Funds will be able to manipulate the SP more easily. I could be very wrong. Worst case, I don’t jump back in and I’ve lost future value of those shares.You sold 200 shares, which gets you $104k to deploy into options, but you didn't immediately put them into options?! Why are you so certain of a Friday pullback? I hope you know that you're timing the market with this action? But good luck to you!
Do you know what waiting for "another pullback" often results in?Thanks for this suggestion. I cancelled the CC. Furthermore, I hope it wasn’t a mistake, but I just sold 200 sh at $522. I had the order set for 525, then changed it after the first pull back. Damn, it would have hit at 525. I’m still long, and this was a “hopefully” strategic sell to free up capital for buying a bunch of calls on Friday. Thanks to Oil4AsphaultOnly for suggesting that this technique is more bullish (instead of selling a OTM CC at 600 or 700 strike). I’m hoping for another pullback this Friday, where I will redeploy this cash into buying some calls. Suggestions for strikes and exp? The 12/24 545c that I bought last Friday are up 40% today. I might pile into some more of those or try the week before or later. Hmmmmmm.
Electrek reporting on a hacked Model X. Per Reuters, TSLA says it's pushing a patch.

You probably weren’t suggesting that I sell so many shares, just enough to fund the purchase of a few call contracts. Maybe I got a bit over zealous. Don’t worry, this is in an IRA, which I wasn’t planning to need for decades. I had a pretty good gain so far and felt like taking some profits. I will probably only deploy 40-60% into calls, 20-30% into puts, and hold the rest for future moves. I haven’t bought or sold any puts yet, so I will be evaluating those more closely. I’m still not sure of my future moves. However, I still have quite a few core shares in my ROTH, some 12/24 545c, plus some 2022-2023 LEAPS that are doing quite well.
Now, I’m heading out to enjoy the day, leaving the keyboard an marketplace to others. Enjoy. It will be an interesting future.

Again up till June this year Tesla was buying 3rd party traffic data to add to their own.
They stopped.
Frankfurt TSLA will continue to trade as normal on Thu / Fri, correct? When we have Thu off and Fri half-day?

My primary move for December is selling covered-calls leading up to and hopefully catching the peak. Willing to write against all my shares at varying strikes if the SP is right at the time, though at least half will be way way OTM.Sell covered call options? 12/18 $950 ?
..nah, wont catch a spike the way your want I guess.
But will net you a cool $70 bucks pr. contract. ;-D

I also want to be able to sell off the few dozen odd leftovers that aren't a multiple of 100 if the SP spikes to something crazy Or if it goes real crazy, sell a hundred or two in 20 share batches at various nosebleed levels with the intention(gamble) of buying back in 2021 for less. Fidelity won't let me set a sell order that's beyond 50% appreciation. Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
Want to set the structure of this plan in my Fidelity account so I can just fine tune the strikes as we inch toward Christmas.
