Long term buyers? Time for Diogenes to break out his lamp and look for them. If the hot money decides to visit for a couple of weeks…. Well, look around see what is happening to the handful of stocks, regardless of MC, that it decides to have fun with.

You have changed, buddy. Options trading has scarred you.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/meta-q1-earnings-135049624.html Money moving from Meta looking for a short term hot stock? Come on down to TSLA and your wildest dreams will Come true.

You know he is a troll but you engage. The number one rule is not to feed the trolls! That makes you a troll feeder. Who is worse the troll or the troll feeder who validates the troll’s existence? Please don’t feed the trolls. Why are so many people here feeding the trolls?

Earnings estimates mean nothing for SP if the belief in the grand future can be reignited. Companies always have this problem when they start turning profits. Suddenly the bean counters are in charge sabotaging the mojo and proclaiming grand illusions. They are usually right. Can EM convince...

Tesla earnings calls are always a crapshoot due to our favorite CEO. But I cannot recall a recent one where so much depends on what he says for the short term SP. The stock is primed for a vicious short covering rally. It also appears ready to test 100. Buy the cheapest options you can find...

Thank you Giga. I have been holding off commenting on this as what is the point of I told you so’s. Even with the 30 billI have seen trolls throw out questions about liquidity issues during this latest SP crash since all the cash must be locked up in China. Going to stick to my original...

I disagree that there is no money involved, but certainly hope you are proven true on the rest.

Think Tesla is on the hook to pay those lawyers regardless.

This is a good point. Shareholders voting against this package might allow for TSLA levels not seen since 2020 COViD times. Don’t see how that could be a win. If Musk is ‘exiled’ from Tesla the outcome will only be bad.

Without a doubt. Yet, gaining market share in a declining market during a seasonal lull can only be a win. Think much bigger impact is DB piling on with their downgrade. Yesterday I closed all my shorts across the market and my puts on TSLA as I saw a general reversal and figured that at...

The March numbers actually show that Tesla outperformed the car market in Europe. It would be nice if TSLA outperformed the stock market here. 🤣😂:mad:

Sold. Not bought. Playing the house. But sometimes they do lose money😉

Might I remind everyone that the ignore feature works pretty well for this site. Unless of course, there is rampant troll feeding. Sigh….

For this week we were looking at: Export wave for beginning of quarter. End of discounting available by Tesla until end of March brought sales forward. Four day Holiday in China for the week. Dismiss until next week. Lol.

FSD is muddying the waters, and there are buyers out there who agree or this SP would be in the 140s already. I thought it would be. Price discounts are real and multiple, but if people pony up for the FSD simultaneously then everything changes. The software is written while investments...

Think his hand was forced today.

After hours. Never let your options expire. Pay the five or fifty dollars and close them before EOD. How about me feeling good that I sold the last of all the 162.5C expiring today I bought on the drop for 3 bucks before the close.? :p

I am missing something here. Why is this stock not lower? Even yesterday the buyers that came in after that atrocious report does not make sense to me. I just got FSD 12.3.3 downloaded this morning. I’m going to test it out. As usual FSD is not up to spec in NYC but perhaps this is what’s...

Shanghai delivered 220K in 1Q. Would be great if the other three scraped together another 220.

I am impressed with 12.3 for certain. But I guess NYC is a different animal. Just yesterday disengaged after a few miles due to lane selection that did not exist after having overlooked aggressive and stupid braking for a merge. Drove the X the rest of the way. Much better. Great car, BTW...

Someone needs to tell it that right turns on reds are illegal in that area.

Yes! Likewise. Why not fold the mirror? To add to the previous review, I thought the speeds were actually spot on. A little slow for some perhaps, but crowded residential streets deserve a leisurely pace.

First drive 2023 Model X FSD 12.3. Queens NYC evening hours. We experienced fine driving that I have never seen from any FSD. Winding through residential streets and four way stops signs, the car had to deal with narrow passage after narrow passage that required interactions with human...

I have to agree. I thought ten points down minimum…. But it is Friday options day. Other possibility is we really are at a bottom… for now.

I don't believe this in the least. Demonstration and then confirmation of true FSD by outside interests will cause the SP to skyrocket. I am stunned that anyone would believe otherwise. A fleet of millions of self driving cars is only of minimal passing interest to forward looking investors...

I find it interesting that there are long time bulls here and everywhere who are in such a state of despair that they discount completed FSD as a nonstarter for the SP until revenues appear in a major way. Hypothetical scenario: Tesla announces two months from now that FSD is complete and true...

How could there not be? Solid chance Fed takes another rate cut off the table for 2024. Inflation is pesky. And if that does happen…. Well there will be a dip…

Don’t follow why a robotaxi trial would be such a huge cost center. The idea behind FSD is that once it works, you just have to apply a meter to it and let it run. Obviously tracking, regulatory issues and oversight would be a cost, but why huge? Would think the huge costs have mostly been...

I have a Cybertruck foundation invitation that I have so far ignored as I still have not seen the car in real life in the wild, or even in the Tesla stores that I have visited. Granted, I live in a bubble in NYC.

I believe the real question is not whether Tesla has released yet another FSD with improvements (mind blowing even), but whether they have truly achieved 100% neural net end to end. If this is really true, and the NN can learn from constant video feeds, then the improvement from here should...

EV sales continue to crash down to zero globally.

My observations say the SP looks very tired above 200 having failed multiple times to break out. Position in trading account now close to neutral. A down day puts us into the 180s in a hurry. My opinions change by the minute… so you would be a fool to listen.

Absolutely nothing. It is great. But such is the mystery of the stock market. Its highs and lows and whipsaw volatility cause the average frail human brain trying to keep emotion out of it to buckle and fail miserably.

Bought at 668 and sold at 694. Best part is I got to feel stupid in both directions. 😜 :rolleyes:

That is the very epitome of WS corporate analyst pull it out of my ass BS that says and means absolutely nothing. Look the other way while we try to hammer the SP would have at least been honest. I guess they figured claiming growth slowdown would have made them a pack follower and they needed...

I read that twice and still have no clue what the hell they are writing about. How’s this: “We are downgrading very late in the game and hoping for more of a downdraft as we have been instructed to engineer exactly that.”

If the returns on selling the options are too low to take the risk, does this not mean that one should consider buying options as they are cheap?

This is personal or political. It cannot be defended by claiming protection of shareholders who all got at least 20X their investment In three years.

I have heard they will keep this rather than Schwab it. Have you seen any indication either way?

I figured I would go down with the ship and bought short and long term calls near the lows, Jan 26 2024 217.5C and Jan 16 2026 200C No idea what my exit plan is here, but wouldn’t a run at 230 make sense, macros allowing? I mean if we get a bounce, should we see mid BB?

Got 110 235C expiring next week at average of 1.60. Anyone like my chances of printing?

That is one cold print. I know Tesla cut prices, but shelter inflation aside, COGS have been sliding significantly the past six months, and Tesla car prices have been lower in the past couple of years in China than they are now, something the MM will never mention. PMs might not be collapsing...

Musk is on record of hitting the Ambien (zolpidem) hard in 2017 and 2018 especially. Zolpidem is documented of causing a host of erratic behaviors, from making impulsive 'unacceptable comments' down to people gorging themselves in the middle of the night with absolutely no memory of it...

This is a good number and Tesla seems to be firing on all cylinders more than ever. Which is saying a lot. Shocking to realize that a delivery number of 10K less - 475K delivered, despite changing NOTHING regarding the company or future prospects would have resulted in an absolute massacre of...

They are everywhere. Had Alex Voigt impersonator hit me up for crypto to invest. His handle was off by one hard to see character. Needless to say…

So by 2033? No, that is a crazy stretch. “Vast quantities”? The infrastructure required for space mining will take 20 years to build out, assuming all goes well. And what about Mars? Or precious metals right here? Optimus could be mining right here if that is the case. And working all...

Well I did buy JAN and FEB QQQ puts that are printing nicely, but losses to be expected with same day casino expirations.

My Spidey Sense had been tingling that a sudden drop off could happen at any moment, because Mr. Market wanted it to and the momo was gone. BTO X 200P QQQ 405 DEC 20 for 0.07 in the AM. Waited. Have a policy of closing a couple of hours before market close if trade not going my way on same...

They are pivoting with inflation still running at 4 percent with signs that it might even spike a little the next few months. They are pivoting with a still hot labor market. Seems they are trying harder than usual. Ofc, election year matters a lot…. I admit that I was certain they would...
