Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable
- Thread starter AudubonB
- Start date
A bunch of people are selling their shares to buy LEAPs, won't this exaggerate the decline?
Isn’t the irony rich?
They are essentially shorting the stock today to buy options to purchase shares in a couple years.
Not necessarily, because the MM need to delta hedge the calls they sell by buying shares.
Correct. And if you buy more delta with the options than the delta you sold with the shares (which should be your goal) then the delta hedge by the MM skews higher for long positions than previously.
if it really is easy to manipulate TSLA, it seems at this point there would be a lot more money to be made manipulating it up instead of down
What time will we china registration numbers? 14k would be great, 15k would be phenomenal

The Tesla effect:
Jaguar announces that they want to reduce the amount of Jaguar dealers in Belgium from 25 to 5 within 2 year.
Dealers are angry.
They must have been sleeping.
Other countries and brands will follow with this dealer's death struggle.
It's never nice when people lose their jobs, but this process is wide and inevitable.

Selling equity to buy leaps (i.e., options) is a loser's game. Just because the time to expiration is longer doesn't mean you have a better chance of making money.

I believe that is everyone’s hope and prayer at this point.

I feel like I'm in the twilight zone reading that you would like confirmation there isn't a demand problem in China. I thought I could trust that you know who has been propagating the China demand problem. But apparently, they are more effective than I gave them credit for.
As an investor I have found it pays big dividends to ignore rumors and focus on things I actually know. Since a demand problem in China goes against everything I do know, I do not put any credence in the rumors of a demand problem. The number of Tesla sold into the Chinese market has been miniscule compared to what natural demand should be. Tesla has shown no sign of taking extraordinary steps to stimulate demand. China is a huge country and will buying millions more Tesla before demand is a serious concern. Along the way Tesla will lower prices to increase their addressable market to numbers that will boggle your mind.
You have been played by the naysayers and the FUDsters.
Would you mind giving me us reminder of what you know contrary to the FUDs? Much appreciated!
Anybody got some Tesla tequila to sell? Asking for a friend…

To never bet against Tesla.
Well my account for the last month and a half would like to have a word about that.
But in all seriousness, I'd love to hear from @StealthP3D The Covid zero thing is really taking a huge mental toll on us lately.

The FUD is weak medicine. Tesla has a long history of rapidly adjusting prices to suit the current demand and the company has insights into China demand that we could only dream of having access to. Watch what Tesla does, not what the FUDsters propose.

The beatings will continue until morale improves.
Seriously, there is no reason to manipulate it up until it won't go down any further. That could be as soon as tomorrow, or not. It depends upon morale.
