I found my dream home.

3 million but definitely worth it.

If you have the means, I highly recommend picking a Plaid+ up

Interesting video from Doug DeMuro about how BMW has lost its cool factor because of Tesla (among other reasons). The people that used to aspire to own a BMW now want a Tesla instead.

This is a great video and spot on. I loved my 2003 e46 M3 so much that I put up with a kids carseat in the back (yes two door). I had the car before kids but didn’t want to get rid of it so I powered through it. I thought I was a life long BMW member. Got the wife an X3 when the kids came along. The M3 eventually became a garage queen so I decide to sell it in 2013 while it still had good value and invested the proceeds in TSLA to hopefully grow my money enough to actually buy a Tesla.

Fast forward to today and I still have those share and got my Model 3 in 2018 and we are replacing the wife’s X3 with a Model Y next week and I am a Teslanaire! Never looked back!

To be fair, the lot size is better than average for the area. If Palo Alto goes the way of some other cities you could put 4 houses on that lot.

Glancing through TSLAQ over Twitter, seems they don’t have any idea about the puts neither.
But found this one:
Some large call transactions before the put sweep.

These guys have it figured out. RIP us.

 

[HG Wells]

Sold a few hundred chairs in after hours so on monday I can sell some covered puts.
BOY its low volume. Even I moved the market.

My june 900 call did not change much in price.

Seems like our favorite toilet boy has some insight.

"A friend tells me this is likely a "stock replacement" trade."
"They may have swapped out the stock for the options, in order to tie up less capital."

Well it's been a few hours. Fremont didn't blow up and Elon is still alive (or else there will be news by now).

Anything else we can weather the storm.

Those TSLAQ folks are funny....its all dark arts and voodoo to them.

I don't mind taking their money.

Speaking from personal experience?

I'm actually waiting to hear more technical details about the refreshed S. I have a July '20 with 6K miles and am thinking about trading up, but need to hear something great about the batteries etc. Love the interior changes.

Boy I sure hope so. I closed out my trading positions in other stocks to make sure I'm in prime shape Monday if there's any fallout.
What do you know? Life was so simple before I touched options.

Something something solidarity. Let’s hope I don’t regret

 

[Alphacrux]

Tesla Model 2 in China rumors?

LOL, If I recall correctly, I suggested you get out of there.

25 years ago I left CA. Though I wasn't making any more money, I immediately felt a huge financial burden lift from my shoulders. In CA I'd have to scrap for months and months to save a thousand dollars, then my car would breakdown or some other expense would come up and I'd be back to zero. In my first year in WA I saved 16,000, NOT counting 401k which was maxed out. My salary was barely over 35,000.

This is just my experience and perspective. I'm not seriously trying to talk anyone into anything and, I confess, if I ever become obscenely rich, which really isn't in the cards, I'll by a little house in Seal Beach.

Yeah what's happening here? Glitch?

I see it too. I’m going to short the green candles so my 600 puts are in play next week!

 

[Krugerrand]

I don’t see anything. Like a few cents green. You all been drinking, again?

For a second Google showed the spike as current price:

Yes, but as Bilbo said, 'That's not the point’

Same here! No such thing as easy money as they say! Still, I have a hard time believing any news could drop the price to $600 in a week...right??
