Pretty crazy macro day. This plus closing over $365 should make for an interesting week!

big bun fight for 365 right now. fighting NASDAQ move down. Wanna new high close to trigger a "mini-squeeze" at open tomorrow.
C'mon, TSLA!
EDIT: NASDAQ crepping up @ 15:55 EST
EDIT2:
365.15 USD +7.18 (2.01%)
Closed: Dec. 10, 4:00 p.m. EST
OK, seriously, my apologies. I actually did a search of this thread for MMA and you seem to be the only poster who uses the term. What does it mean? Market-maker attack?No big MMA at the end ? Just following NASDAQ now, with 2 minutes left.
ps : Close at 365.15, up 2%. NASDAQ up 0.74%.
How does this work? 4 days from expiration they'll not reach 400. Why would somebody want to buy these?Picked up a couple 12/14 400c right at close -- we'll see if the margin call thesis holds.
EDIT: Also, these lotto tickets were paid for with swing trades from today's action. I love playing with house money.
Lottery tickets, if (big if) something happens to squeeze/ push stock price up in the next 4 days, it would payoff well. Price is ~58 a contract.How does this work? 4 days from expiration they'll not reach 400. Why would somebody want to buy these?
well of course we don't KNOW anything, but $365 is the highest closing SP since Sep 2017. It's unlikely any short positions are still open from that period.How do we know $365.00 triggers margin calls?
With all the hairspray she uses the Tesla helmet is redundant.Couple comments about the 60 minutes interview:
1. It really seems like it was something forced by PR/Corp communications for Elon to do. I got the feeling he really didn't want to be there, didn't have something he wanted to say, almost like a hostage video. No FUD objective here, but I got the feeling that someone in the company said "hey, we really need to get you out there and do some PR".
2. How on earth did Leslie Stahl (sp) get away with NOT wearing one of the custom black Tesla factory hard hats! I've seen so many videos and been in the factory and I've never seen ANYONE not wearing the required hats. Someone somewhere is probably going to see that and give them some form of OSHA violation. ;-)
It's probably in her contract with CBS that she NEVER EVER no matter the situation will wear ANY hat of any kind.
I think the combination of hair spray and wig qualifies as a hard hat.

What we don't know is the aggregate margin remaining on the pool of open short interest.
What we do know is that at least some of them will be triggered with the new high close today. This is why its called the "mini-sqeeze".
I'll watch the After-hours session for a hint. Compare to Thursday's A/H action.
Cheers!
Some express themselves through their hair, and others through twitter. Don’t put Leslie’s do in the corner (or a hard hat).With all the hairspray she uses the Tesla helmet is redundant.

Wow, beat me to it by a mile.
Jaguar I-Pace caught fire in the Netherlands while parked:
Een kudtkoekiewall. Omdat dat moet, van de kudtkoekiewet.
They just started delivering the things, have under 5k on the roads... and one already caught on fire? Seriously?
We're still awaiting the first fire in a consumer Model 3.
Hopefully it was just vandalism... somehow, I really doubt that, though. Jaguar is investigating.
but government agencies don't like being snubbed in public and I feel better diversifying a bit more.
But then tomorrow it will be 3 days left until expiration. I guess we could get to 370-375 tomorrow. I think it'd be crazy for someone else to hope this $25 gap will close in 3 days.I'm not expecting the stock to reach $400 -- although if it did these would pay well. I'm hoping for a small squeeze based on the thesis of some others here and would sell to close the position on a pop tomorrow for a quick buck on premium increase.
I can't find this anywhere else, so can't verify.
Tesla readies second US dollar auto ABS deal
The "rated by Moody's" interests me. Does that mean it's possible Tesla gets an upgraded Moody's rating very soon?
Highest close since August 8th.
....is the highest closing SP since Sep 2017.

It doesn't have to close this gap. The option becomes more valuable as the stock price moves closer to the strike (that is, as long as theta is not eating the increase in value; however at least will the option keep its intrinsic value). I assume the buyer waits for the next spike and then closes the position.But then tomorrow it will be 3 days left until expiration. I guess we could get to 370-375 tomorrow. I think it'd be crazy for someone else to hope this $25 gap will close in 3 days.
I don't know, just feels really uncomfortable to me to be that buyer.
In an interview the SEC commissioner showed that he wasn't even aware of the tweet by Musk. He asked during the interview, something like "he said that ?!".But what did they do when Elon tweeted "Short Enrichment Commission"?
