I had picked up some more in the latest June downturn at 278$. I'm still holding them. I was going to sell them at the 360$ target I had, but decided to hold them. At the moment, I've sold July 325 calls at 30$.. IF we get back above 355$ after this CC someone can have my shares for this run.

My bet is we go lower before higher highs.
 
$328 vs $320 would be about $4 price difference for J20 400C, which was ~$55 when I bought. Not huge difference since I hold long term, but I'd rather not overpay if I could.

And it all adds up in the end. I calculated that if you sold all your shares and buy them back at 1 dollar less every day, after 20 years and adding 1500 each month from your normal income, you'll be a billionaire, even if the stock only gains modestly. Only problem with that strategy is that if it ever spikes up 15-20 dollars, like it occasionally does, you'd be out a ton of money. Then you'll have to buy back in at an inflated price in order to continue the strategy, risking an immediate dip.

As for me, I sold my J20 400 at 52, so I wanted at least 50. 45 would have been ideal, and possible if it had fallen back to its previous support at 315-320, but it does make me nervous if it'll even make it back there. It's more nerve wrecking to be out than to be in.

I'm always in, don't hold cash. I just change the % of LEAP vs shares. When price goes down I move more into LEAP, so I can make more on the way back up than what I lose on the way down. When price gets a little too high I move more into shares, so if price drops I don't lose too much from LEAP. This only works for me with LEAP, in case of a prolonged dip that continues even after I've moved completely into LEAP, I can still hold the LEAP and ride it out.
 
Did I miss discussion of this Tweet from yesterday?

Since Elon mentions “good news coming soon”, I assume he means that he has some...uh...good news.

Good news coming soon was a follow up question for the”P” version. My speculation is that he announces the “P” soon.

I hope our friend @jbcarioca won't mind if I copy his potential good news on an upcoming P3D delivery from another thread:

FWIW, I actually talked with my P3D delivery specialist today discussing my P85D trade in, so I am optimistic that mine must be among the first to deliver. She did not say, but else why call?

Also, I had my "Edit Design" button disappear today for my Model 3 LR, so hope to get a call soon to schedule delivery.

I do think there will be some extra fireworks the first week of July this year.:)

My Edit button also disappeared today woohoo!
 
I am Canadian. I can now order a dual motor Model 3 with or without performance option now. Delivery WITHOUT performance option says 2-4 months; delivery WITH performance option says 3-5 months. It previously said "delivery mid 2018" last time I checked last week.

The rear-wheel drive now also says delivery in 3-5 months (they were pushing to Canada recently).

I have 2 reservations, both done on the first day available.

So, as we all thought, they were clearly pushing Canadian orders in Q2 to hold back #200,000 for the US and now that they have filled Canadian orders to the end of this quarter, they are pushing delivery of all Canadian orders done now back to Q4 probably to make Q3 (and likely most/all of Q4) almost entirely US orders to maximize the tax credit.

I am going to make my order tonight for 1 of my reservations and sadly don't expect delivery until late 2018 (I want dual motor). Can;t wait to sell my wife's dieselscam VW Touareg so we can be a 100% Tesla family.
