    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Or, more important, I like what Mark Twain said many, many years ago... “Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience”. Whether people have good or bad opinions, or are thought of as trolls because of their negativity, there is always that...

    Not sure it is 100% margins. Last I read, Tesla was buying $10B+ in Nvidia GPU’s/chips for training and end to end neural nets, And Dojo costs, along with all the people power to put all this together.

    Thank you for this information @bmd00. Someone on the other thread stated about 20 minutes ago to check the 24hour movement on TSLA, and although I don’t put much into before and after hours pricing, TSLA was at $175 about 20 minutes ago, and now it is at $177. That is a significant increase...

    Why can’t you buy shares direct from TD Ameritrade / Schwab or some other company. Maybe this is a Europe thing, but just buy 1 share direct and you can vote. Is it really much harder than that?

    Just one persons opinion, and we all know what that is worth…but, as @tivoboy stated a couple of weeks ago, or maybe longer, he had positions that the S&P might be going down (I hope I am correct here) and, I think we all have been seeing these big swings in the stock market these past few...

    Sorry about this. Could you be assigned and be ok? I say this as I do think long term we will be fine, but that could be 3-5 years. Right now, we are in that “production hell” or “Elon selling” situation with tesla and none of us know how low this can go before the market makes a u- turn on...

    @Yoona. So you do not think the already 30%+ drop since January is factored in?? I am also thinking we have more “down” to go between now, earnings call and after earnings, but I keep hearing it is already in the stock price. Your thoughts?

    And what about people who have the Model S, like my family, who, since early 2013 bought Model S to support the cause and be an early adopter (on our 4th Model S now), and yet, we still do not have active FSD as part of the 30 day trial. Tesla states they are working on a fix and hope to get...

    And, are you going to sell again sometime between now and earnings when we might go into the 150’s/140’s when EPS is down again and the next quarter does not look so good?

    Not so true, one in particular stated he was right on 2 calls and that should be respected. Or was that the traveler guy who predicted TSLA going up. But...I am surprised TSLA has held up fairly well, considering this P&D was a disaster. I did sell most of my puts for a very nice profit and...

    I keep it simple…Puts at 165 on 4/5, Puts at 165 on 4/26, Puts at 160 on 4/26, Puts at 155 on 4/26, Puts at 150 on 5/24. Sort of a hedge against all of my shares. And, I have a decent amount of cash available to buy, if we get into the 150’s and 140’s over the next few months. The funny...

    But maybe, as many on these forums think, the most probable bad P&D and lower earnings are already baked in based on the 30% stock price decline since the beginning of 2024. I don’t think so, but we will find out in less than 1 month. I have made my options placements, both short and longer term.

    I am not sure this is completely accurate. While it is true that tesla does have 6 million cars delivering data, the reason the jump from version 11 to version 12 was so substantial was because of AI / end to end Neural nets that tesla is using now. As we now know, a neural network is a method...

    Except, if we have so many that are “right” and they can’t lose, they should be quadtrillionaires. No one really knows! They are taking an educated guess based on their analysis. sometimes I even get it right...sort of like that broken clock.

    Here is my TA for tomorrow based on what I think we will hear from wicked Stocks, for Friday, March 22nd. TSLA could go up, or, it could go down, but most likely down. Take that to the bank. Not advice!

    If we feel confident of a dump, Why not just double down as the stock goes up so you dollar cost average? As TSLA was going up later in the day, I kept buying the same put for 4/5 at a lower price. My overall average price is now not so under water, and if it does tank, due to P/D being lousy...
