Understand your limitations more than anything, if you suck at trading Tesla... don't. Just HODL. If you're great at trading Tesla, there is a good amount of money on the table. Will take a lot of work though. I feel like I'm a fairly good trader, and Tesla can still give me fits in short term movements.

Well then. Maybe not so stupid. Got back in at 1130. Waiting for a transfer to clear margin.
Easy. Buy when you have extra cash. Sell only when you need eat'n money and the least amount you need to.
I didn’t really think this would take a day, but I’m out again 4/5ths fo the position in the pre. Didn’t really think $1210 would be an EXACT number, but it was my target for this phase. Targeting later Jan’22 for possible re-entry
Well I was a little off. Analysts took the results as the news for Q4 and will be shocked again when financials come out better then what they expected before delivery report came out.
Only have a tip on the buy part:
Buy on macro, non-Tesla related dips where the headlines have grownup words that I should understand by now: 10 year, T Bonds, inflation.
On Tesla related dips - CT glass breaks, trunk latch recall. Anything you think a man that lands rockets back down to earth should be able to fix.
I have some Jan 28th 1400 and 1500 calls.
My crystal ball says I am going to make a killing with those.
The FOMO leading to earnings is going to be a real thing.
HODL

I have to say, the BATTLE FOR 6000 reminds me a lot of the BATTLE FOR 300.
Only, now, it's even more fun to be on the winning team.
I'm sure glad we know Model 3 ramp is.....er....I mean TWO NEW GIGAFACTORIES are on the way. Still, the powers-that-be and their ability to create drama never ceases to impress me.

Those genetics just keep nipping at your heels, huh?
I think we've seen this only a couple times here. Not only would they have to feel like dog poo during the whole gap up while saying to themselves - "If I'd just left it alone", or "If we didn't buy our Tesla for cash." But imagine buying in higher up, then it drops cuz you swore it was about ready to pop. OK, we're getting pretty close to every mistake I've made in trading. But I never did the drunk sell by accident. Could you imagine, and then it pops?
Looking forward to riding with y'all. Don't fall off and don't get fancy. Just ride on.
I didn’t mean to sound like I’m great at timing anything. I maintain about 5% margin just to capitalize on all the volatility. When it seems oversold I dip into some margin; and when it runs up to about 5-10% over those buy prices I will trim my most expensive shares.
It’s enough to pay the 1.6% margin interest. But mostly it’s mentally satisfying that I’m sticking it to the shorts, MM’s, or HF’s. Sometimes those shares go deep in the money and they become long term HODL shares and sometimes those shares go deep in the red and it hurts a bit. But this system keeps me from selling any core shares and gives me something to do.
In hindsight holding all of those shares obviously would’ve been more profitable but I hate margin. The margin would’ve been more efficiently used to buy options but my timing is terrible and I suffer from low T so I have no sack for that.
Cheers to the longs as always.
Just did it.
Sold 10x -p1500 20/1/2023 for 530 credit per share.
Officially cleared my margin.
still interesting if the contract gets assigned at expiration in 1 year. That would be the equivalent of purchasing 1000 shares at 970 in 2023..

I’m stunned… how can F be up 12% on a day when TSLA is down 4% and the only news is: Ford announces a plan to double production of Lightning trucks 
I hope CT will crush Ford and take them out of business all together

Eh, I’m not gonna complain to hard about some profit taking after being up 10%+ yesterday.
What do those other stocks look like YTD? It’s day two and Tesla is still up like 10% YTD.
I've never accidentally done the drunken sell mistake either, but I did once buy a tsla put leaps accidentally. I'm pretty sure my brokerage changed the box from call to put while I was making some strike price adjustments. In any case, I sold it immediately for a small loss and bought the call I had intended. I trade in and out of most of my stocks occasionally, but the TSLA is strictly hodl.I think we've seen this only a couple times here. Not only would they have to feel like dog poo during the whole gap up while saying to themselves - "If I'd just left it alone", or "If we didn't buy our Tesla for cash."

Not at all. Barely chipped into the top of the gap.
Friday Dec.31 intraday top was $1082, yesterday intraday* low was $1136.31, so gap was 1082-1136, today lowest (so far) was 1123.45.
So it only got $13 into the top of the $54 gap.
*If you also count pre-market yesterday, that had a low of 1126.53, so we bounced from almost the same point.
because a few smart people will take money from a lot of dumb peopleI’m stunned… how can F be up 12% on a day when TSLA is down 4% and the only news is: Ford announces a plan to double production of Lightning trucks
