This is an interesting and very helpful nugget. I've been managing a set of SMCI shares I got assigned in early April for $975. Thanks to a pearl of wisdom from @dl003, I did a naked put and reduced my trade by half. Originally, I was planning to do a spread. It made the risk seem smaller...

Etrade decided the market didn't need to be open today. It's over an hour into the trading day and still completely hosed. At least I could log in finally 🤷‍♂️

Indeed. There's a clear narrative on investment and expansion, with a plan to get to a low-cost EV. BYD is already a formidable competitor to Tesla in the EV space, while I don't follow the company closely, it appears to be focus on execution and expansion as rising global automaker. The story...

Warren Buffett-Backed BYD Aims To Outperform Tesla, VW, Stellantis As Europe's Leading BEV Seller: 'The Long Term Is To Produce Locally;' - BYD (OTC:BYDDF), BYD (OTC:BYDDY) This could be contributing to the downward pressure today

basically 😂 The market loves it...up over 6% AH

The high IV is no joke. I've been doing CC on some puts assigned at the start of April, then a 20% drop out of nowhere, and a week later, the SP is almost back up. It feels like a complete crapshoot planning strike prices

Not a helpful answer, but OptionStrat usually changes the name of the strategy to match the position. It calls what you outlined as "Custom" Maybe there isn't an official strategy name 😅

I don't have experience with naked calls, but based on my experience with having some covered calls exercised, the broker pulls whatever number of shares are required to meet the obligation of the call from the account. After the fact, I adjust the lots to match the cost basis I want to use for...

SMCI is rocketing today. I got assigned a couple of puts for 965 two weeks ago and thought it might be another week or two before the price recovered, but not any more

I think a STC only happens if the short call sold against it is allowed to expire ITM, and it's needed to cover the short call, otherwise, the long call remains open, the short call expires, and a new short call can be written until the long call expires.

I found this helpful article on a Poor Man's Covered Call - Poor Man's Covered Call - What is it? If I'm following it right, you could use your 5x +C150 12/2025 to write short calls against. The long call needs to be ITM.

There are sensors installed on the key circuits like the main and to your panels. It looks like they where installed backwards. I would recommend sharing with your installer and asking them to fix it

2022 Blue/White M3 LR Order Date: 12/2021 Built On: 2/8/2022 Delivered on: 2/25/2022 AMD Ryzen: Yes Lithium Ion Battery: Yes Dual Pane Rear Windows: No Location: Vienna, VA VIN: 177xxx

Yes. Again, it depends on the SA. I had asked a week or so ago if they could match me with a VIN that had an AMD when my order came off hold, and that SA said “All cars produced now have those processors and batteries.” Those being AMD and Li-Ion. The SA contacted me for an appointment...

I think you can put your order on hold once without any problem, but after that it depends who you draw as the SA responding.

I was assigned a 155xxx VIN for a M3LR yesterday, with a build date of 12 Jan that had an Intel processor. The SA let me pass on the VIN and put a hold on my order until 7 Feb. Hopefully that'll give me a build date late enough in Jan to get an AMD processor

Likely an increase in the battery capacity between model years tested by the EPA. I'm not sure what the battery specs are between the 2021 M3LR and the 2022.

The 2022 M3LR is less efficient than the 2021 M3LR based on the EPA rating, but overall it has more range. Not sure the difference can be attributed to just the AMD Ryzen, but probably a combination of changes they made between what the EPA tested. Although the 2022 is less efficient, it has...

If you’re only installing one charger, your current 200A service is probably sufficient. The HPWC might need to be limited to a 50A circuit, but I don’t see why it couldn’t be set for the max of 60A. I’m not an electrician. From personal experience, we installed a 50A circuit to our existing...

I passed it on to my DS this evening too and he wasn't aware of it. My delivery is tentatively scheduled for Monday, but he wasn't sure how to get confirmation, other than waiting for the driver to call him. Hopefully he'll be able to chase it down tomorrow. I'm not sure why Tesla can't arm...

My car is enjoying the party in NJ too. Delivery scheduled tentatively scheduled for this Monday, 7 Jan to Northern VA. Hopefully that date is firm.

Congrats! I got a blue one on the way too, just on the other side of the river. I work out of Bethesda sometimes, I'll have to keep a look out for you. I'll keep my fingers crossed on the weather for you.

PenFed cut me a check in less than 2 hours...the downside is they didn't ask me how I wanted it sent. By the time I called them to follow up on it about 2 hours after i filled out the online app, they said the check was already in the mail to my home address...took about 3 days from Omaha to...

I'm in the same boat. I've been waiting for my final paperwork since Friday. My DS says he's following up on it each day, but that HQ doesn't have any firm date on when they'll get the final paperwork complete. He said they're spin up some folks in DC to help handle the paperwork, and that it...

Just got my VIN - 2479 for P#4653. No firm date yet, but should be sometime 23 Dec and 6 Jan...Non performance, 85, pano, blue, grey interior, pano, 19s...coming to VA

Have you check in "My Garage" on the Tesla website? I didn't get a response, but had the DELIVERY button enabled the next day. I'd check the site, if you haven't already.

I'm jealous...P4653...my delivery window start 23 Dec - 6 Jan...just a few miles up the road in Arlington, VA. Enjoy!

Absolutely agree. I wish they would do a much better job with this. It would make dealing with the ambiguity of the delivery date much more workable
