I was not able to at the time, but see my update above for why. Long story short make sure you have straight each and every login credential with TD and which account number they are associated with, as their linking function can obscure which account you are actually logged in to. Everyone...

A warning to other people still using Thinkorswim with TD credentials (which supposedly was not transitioning until this weekend): my session was just terminated (never seen that before) and I'm now locked out of my ability to sign in with TD, yet my accounts are not yet listed when signing in...

I think it's pretty reasonable for shareholders to expect a company response to these media reports of entire business units being supposedly jettisoned overnight, call me crazy...

I folded earlier today (SP ~188) on my DITM CCs (155 and 165) by rolling them out to a combination of Jan and Dec 2025 at minimal debit/credit higher strikes. I suspect there will be a much better opportunity in the months to come but I don't have time right now to micromanage. Feels like Hertz...

Are we certain that "new" models on existing lines means truly new body styles? If anybody has seen any analysis of this question today please share, TIA.

For those on TOS this news event was kind of interesting. The Reuters story first hit the "Live News" widget at 8:06 (pst) and you had approximately 45-60 seconds to react before the dead puts expiring today (no bid/ask .01 or less) began to come alive. I only made some lunch money on this trade...

I obviously don't know the truth of the matter but reflexively dismissing it as manipulation or BS is not helpful. It's entirely plausible Elon would upend the strategy to go all-in on autonomy.

Can we please keep the Delaware court judgment discussion focused on substantive consequences for TSLA here, rather than conspiracy theories and character attacks on a judge? There are plenty of other places on the internet for this kind of off-topic venting e.g. reply @elonmusk on X.

The judge seems to hinge their ruling mostly on whether there was a sufficiently adversarial process to explore in good faith what the minimum threshold was to retain Elon. His ultimatum in recent weeks is starting to make a lot more sense and might even have been "performing for the cameras"...

IMO Rob is a treasure to the community who sometimes sticks his neck out in public and generally takes responsibility when he has been wrong, unlike many of the toxic bull "influencers" on social media.

As long as he remains in total denial about the exceptional nature of the TSLA decline nothing is going to change.

A new regime for net metering in California was approved today: California pulls the plug on rooftop solar

There is so much work to be done to realize the potential of this company over the next 5-10 years and I really want Elon to be the one overseeing it (and I'm sure as heck not selling a share) but IMO it's time for a role more tailored to him or at least a clear operations #2 below him. Some...

Personally I'm about $15/sh off from being in the red overall for the last 10 years in this stock thanks to ill advised additions to my share count on the way up. I've never used margin and kept options limited to what I could handle in the worst case with cash. This forum is indeed quite useful...

Re: assignment I noticed a big drop (many 10-20%) in open interest last night for the DITM put contracts relevant to me. I'm now a believer that new lows cause cascading assignments due to margin calls and partial assignment on spreads.
