Not exactly sure on what is going on the graph. However, for European options on a non-dividend stock, shouldn't the Implied Vol. be the same for both Calls & Puts on the same strike & expiration? -- That's the Put-Call Parity principle.

Responding to: Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2014 - Page 509 Convertible bonds issue should dampen implied vol. on the longer dated options (LEAPS), right? Also, I think SCTY would issue additional equity to satisfy the convertible bond hedge. -- Typically hedge funds short the stock to...

I am running another thought experiment. Two points. Point I: Confrontation / Legal Risk I realize that there is a long history between utilities and photovoltaic (PV) producers, since 1960's to be exact. So, is there a risk of utility companies fighting back in the same manner as autodealers...

To be honest, I am floored. I have attended a shareholder meeting but there were indications of this sort of thing happening. The management was optimistic, as expected, but I must admit this news is beyond my expectations. It's bold and aggressive and I like it, too.

It was a pleasure to meet with the fellow shareholders! Thank you for the enlightening conversations! Special thanks to Dave & Lori for organizing it! :-) That's Paul, Dave's younger brother. And yes, he works at Google and is probably silently reading this conversation as well... :-P

I attended the meeting in person. I tried to ask a question but was unable to. I then followed up by speaking to Jeff Evanson, the Investor Relations manager, as well as by sending my question to Elon Musk by E-mail. The question was whether it would be possible to move the annual shareholder...

Are they going to buy those batteries from Tesla?.. :-P

I think there is already a solution for that. Check out "Swiss Room Box": SwissRoomBox packs a whole vacation into a box that can fit in a Fit. : TreeHugger Quite honestly, I am entertaining myself with this idea of living in the car like that. Previously I thought of renting a parking spot...

ItsNotAboutTheMoney, thank you for the explanation!

AlMc, RobStark, Robert.Boston, thank you very much! These are the exact kind of comments that I was looking for. I appreciate your feedback. Robert.Boston, yes, I was intentionally exaggerating the case just to test how far the notion makes sense. Your comments about co-location answer the...

Let's assume for a moment that FCVs have succeeded. From the consumer's point there is really not that much difference from the ICEs in the sense that you still have to go through the hassle of buying the car from the auto-dealers and then cash-draining yourself for maintenance costs (which grow...

I remember Elon saying that batteries improve on average at 8% per year. Extrapolation three years from now makes it 24%. Projecting five years out brings us to 40%. That's still using a linear extrapolation. -- I realize that there is a law of diminishing returns, but in this case the evolving...

May I join you guys for lunch / get together after the meeting? I am taking a vacation from work just to attend the meetings both at TSLA and SCTY. I will be in SF area both on Jun. 3rd and 4th. I am agnostic on the food. I will be renting a car (an ICE unfortunately). So I can tag along but...
