    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Good point. The market makers and hedge funds may have been taking advantage of the NTHSA hype to shove the TSLA share price to the point that makes written options most profitable on a Friday expiration.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    The market makers, chicken littles and algobots have been walking the TSLA price down for an hour. This as the media hype the NTHSA investigation which is merely about the degree of FSD "nags" and should have little to do with the share price. But this has been spurred on by two US senators who...

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    This may have had a negative effect on the TSLA opening price, as algobots and chicken littles reacted to the news. Then calmer heads must've realized that it only involves the degree of FSD "nagging", and a share price dip may have presented them with a buying opportunity.

    Flight from the Magnificent Seven (includes TSLA) appears to have slightly upset what might have been the most profitable plan for big TSLA option writers today.

    Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

    Today is a monthly options expiration day. More interest than a weekly, less than a quarterly. A review of overnight open interest and trading so far today, makes it appear that TSLA $150 would be the most likely closing target for big option writers with the ability to temporarily manipulate...

    I doubt that a down-vote will tank the stock, although a disappointing earnings report could. If Elon quits, there could be a stock drop, but it may be much shorter lasting than people assume.

    Because of the market holiday Friday, today is a weekly options expiration day. Based on today’s TSLA options activity, it appears that $177.50 could be the most profitable closing target for big options writers with the ability to temporarily manipulate the share price.

    This is a Triple Witching Day. That's a quarterly options expiration with heightened interest. Based on option open interest and morning trading, market makers and hedge funds may want to try to cap TSLA at $165 today. That assessment could change based on afternoon trading.

    It's too late to edit, but I wanted to add that a few minutes ago I received a phone call from the congressman's staff.

    Last evening, my congressman complained on Fox Business about EVs. I wrote him to counter some of his arguments, but it likely did no good. Rather than noting that fire departments may be unprepared for EV fires, he should be telling us what the government can do to get them properly trained.

    Today's TSLA low of $210.42 briefly pushed the price under the August low of $212.36 and the current 200-day simple moving average of $214.69. But TSLA has since snapped a bit above these prices and may be hinting at a successful test of support levels. Meanwhile, this is a monthly options...
