I get the feeling there is always an effort to shake the weak through stop losses, then drive up to next level. So I'm also looking forward to midweek before Fri as usual.

Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable
- Thread starter AudubonB
- Start date
You may be right, but keep in mind that the market will be closed on Friday for Christmas, and early closing on Thursday when options expire.
Major difference is that TWTR did not have 60% run up prior to SP500 inclusion
NASA's Commercial Crew and Cargo programs demonstrate the new government-think on how to get new capabilities:
1) Tell ‘em what you want and when you want it (not how to do it)
2) Evaluate proposals. If they look good, throw some money at a few contenders
3) Let them work for a while, downselect to the best based on performance, throw more money at them
4) Let multiple winners proceed through development and operations
5) Eventually, government's role is over and the market selects final winners
I think something similar could be done with charging networks. It breaks the chicken-and-egg of initial demand and avoids a "National Charging System" (the worst of all approaches).

Oh no, TSLA has dropped in price to *checks sheet* Friday's price action. Last time it was this low it was, *checks sheet again* Thursday.
As an amateur chart analyst, I'm thinking a close at 664.95 today
...also, I pulled that one outta my ***.... I'm just bored after the fireworks of the past weeks.... prolly going to close somewhere else

“
- There shouldn't be too many investors left looking to divest near-term. I think just about everybody who wanted to do so, got the chance to do so at $695.”
CNBC is pay to play. Oh, you didn't know you have to pay for access? So he's on because someone is paying for him to be on. He's probably funded by Thanos or some other short.

Frank, thanks so much for your contributions here and elsewhere. Best of luck with your MBA program.
Option markets are generally efficient, and there are generally very few can't lose strategies that are available. I don't think QS offers one at the moment, though there was an opportunity with SCTY and TSLA some here managed to capitalize on.
These bargains are seemingly available because you can't short QS yet for any reasonable price. Happened with NKLA too as soon as it was listed as borrow was not available.
To make it real, I can offer an example. You can right now get synthetic long exposure to QS by buying a call and selling a put at ~73 for January expiry. Go further out you can get exposure for cheaper. This is equivalent to holding stock. But you can't lock in this profit because you can't short QS (at 88 as I write this) with a reasonable borrow fee.
Another variant of this is it might be tempting to sell a call to short stock, which a buddy did with NKLA. He thought it was easy. The very next day, the call was exercised, and the broker closed his short position as there was no borrow available.

My expectation is 3,331,556 in 2025. I wonder which of us will be closer.

I don't really need to read about what ants think about being in an ant farm. The proof is still firmly there. From the orchestrated 31 day announcement to inclusion so all the shares would be in the right piles, to the $695/share making the buttload of $700 calls expire worthless.
We are all just ants in an ant farm.
And I am not complaining. We ants have round little tummies due to a steady diet of sweet crumby crumb crumbs from the Big Boys S&P 500 Picnic.
What was that in a month? from $408 to $666 or so? 63%? Life is Good.

My $695 Limit sell order never executed since that $695 move I heard was a dark pool trade. The public close, I recall, was $655 or there about. No big deal as I was planning to buy it back later anyway.

Schwab had some options so messed up....all weekend these showed as $393 price, which obv leads to a "reported" drop of $90+ today, and a huge red number on my account for the day.....depressing. But tomorrow will look much better.
