I'm pleased that Musk's erratic behaviour and the BoD's utter hopelessness is being exposed to scrutiny. I'm actually OK with Musk being a bit "out there", but I deplore the board's lack of any control over events, specifically advising/forcing Musk to sell his shares in a more...

Elon said a lot of things in the earnings call, a lot of it scripted and very nebulous IMO

Except that Q1 was catastrophic, at least IMHO, but it was shrugged-off as "not as bad as expected" along with a lot of empty soundbites in the earnings call...

I would assume that Tesla have been filming the workforce for some time already and this can be used for training? Also I think the underlying code for the FSD engine is the same, the try/fail all those years on FSD don't need to be redone for Optimus, just new data and hardware API's to be applied

I personally think holding short term short positions through the shareholder week is a tremendous risk, could see huge volatility, which can, of course be an opportunity, but more of a dice-throw as of this moment in time For my side I have -p170/-c180 strangle for this week, which I'd very...

Actually holding 200x +p150 100x July & 100x Jan -> selling against them weekly so no too concerned about the value, but I did buy them for a reason, which is concern over Tesla, and those concerns, IMO, are playing out, even though the share price doesn't track it for the moment

Going to be fun... I still have 5x -c800/-p900 in play and as of now I let the whole lot expire sell off the shares (net $950) then resell the puts weekly against the 5x Jan 2025 +p900 I'm holding If the earnings causes it to drop back then more things come in to play, let's see

Some of us have been bearish for months and nothing actually happened to change that, quite the opposite I would say even though the stock price doesn't reflect it (yet)

Indeed... last year I had a train booked from Stockholm to Oslo, a few days before it was due it got cancelled, all the alternative trains were either full or the timing didn't work, I checked flights and it worked out only slightly more expensive, with business lounge included... so yeah, I...

I don't have enough experience with longer dated straddles, these ones I hold right now, the Dec 2025 -190's are really the first time I try it, and these have been mostly been born out of necessity for getting out of some big DITM's Weekly straddles, hard for me to quantify as there's no link...

No, more because I don't like the psychological impact when my portfolio drops 30% in a couple of months... so looking to get out of all my LEAPS, but will roll them forwards until I can, either with a stock rally or just selling weeklies to earn the money back

I peaked at 11800 shares following various put assignments during the crash of '22 I've also soured on LEAPS, well, they have their place, but you need to ensure you buy at the right moment and sell them when you can

For the countries that report daily deliveries: Scandinavia and Holland, at this point in Q1 it was level with 23Q4, however at this moment in Q2, it's around 15% lower Of course this can all flip around the coming weeks if a load of ships come in from GF3, but as of now my expectation is that...

Chimay... back in 1999 I was new in Belgium and single for the first time in 15 years... I was going out on dates with girls and one night was a Swede named Lotte, she was working for Lucent, I think they were called (yes, thanks ITM!!), something to do with networking back then... we met in a...

Don't agree with this... I only fly if I have to due to environmental issues, plus I just dislike the whole experience. My wife Will only fly if she has no other option, she's terrified of flying. So we drive pretty much every where. If I had a car that could do that while I slept, or read a...
