Don't sheep get culled, fleeced, and sent off to slaughter...?

After an arguably uncalled for TSLA share price rise, this sounds backwards to me: "I think I will close all my shorts and maybe add a few calls to ride the hype for now." I'm almost considering doing the opposite, because part of me feels that it was the earnings report hype that just boosted...

I've mixed emotions; I'm liable to but-dial in an order (yes, I'm that clumsy).

Likewise, my first experience with options was in 2019-2020; I lucked out buying LEAPS at the best time ever, saw them rocket far beyond my wildest expectations, then let them trickle back down to a fraction of their highest value. I didn't know, nor did I fully understand the critical...

...effectively making up for the loss by doing something similar enough to kid ourselves that the original bad transaction somehow wasn't really so bad after all? Somebody please help me out here- This concept has always grated on me (though I've done this myself); isn't this really just doing...

Personally, I'd lean towards taking the calculated risk till after the Earning Report in 2 trading days, because I feel the odds of a +400% are so much greater than a -100%... I can't explain why I feel comfortable breaking @Yoona 's rule of not losing capital if this goes the wrong way... And...

Isn't this the optimal timing for Tesla's 2 heavy hitters quitting is because it will cause the least trouble for Tesla now, being that things are so slow there for the forseeable future anyway?

6% only? Who is getting the other 94% of all that business?

How about offering gutted 2-person cargo models for postal/local delivery/camping use? Even if folded, those rear seats eat up a LOT of extra space.

I just got 12.3.4 in my 2018 X75D, and it is very much improved. We might even see that reflected in the share price after a couple years; until then, I'd be happy if FSD was discussed somewhere else. I was surprised when I clicked what I thought would be a FSD thread, it turned out to be just...

I don't get it - it says Tesla will only have 6% of charging stations?? "BNEF estimates that annual worldwide public-charging revenue will rise to $127 billion by 2030, with probably the most familiar company — Tesla — on track to mop up $7.4 billion, or around 6%, of all that business." And...

Elon said 8/8/24 Robotaxi reveal; but DID he ever address if the $25,000 car really is being discontinued or not?? And so what if Robotaxi gets revealed; it often takes Tesla so many years from reveal to actual production, let alone ramped up? Not happy discussing in options thread, I'll...

Lots of pointless jabbering; when does the relevant stuff start ??:?? TIA.

I'd love to know what they're really doing with Russia; it's surely to China's advantage, hopefully sticking Russia with mediocre dud electronics and chemicals... designed to keep Russia in whatever positions are most favorable to China, perhaps even sending electronics meticulously bugged by...

They'd look great in freefall over the Kremlin.

And Ukraine can always throw in lots of the cheapest possible dummy aircraft and gliders just to create more confusion -lots of cheap, low grade model planes designed to alternately climb then glide long distances to arrive in Russia during actual attacks, tagged with Iranian or ISIS or Russian...

I hope today was a wonderful a trading day for each of you as it was for me so far! We should do this sort of thing more often, no?

I hope this is real!!! Ukraine drone swarm takes out 6 Russian fighter jets. (2 hours ago). Next time, take out an event with Putin and the top 2 echelons of Putin's supporters!

But if Warren Buffet did buy TSLA, what's gonna happen when word gets out? Edit - I meant, won't it boost the TSLA price??

If Time Traveler is correct and this IS because of "something that someone knows" ...then there's no reason to necessarily expect this will stop rising at $180, is there? ...so perhaps not wise to buy Puts or sell Calls at $180...? But to wait for @dl003 's bearish candle instead. ...So many...

I'd think they'd require your U.S. Social Securiy Number. I'd also think they'd only give you a Schwab account, no more TDA accounts. -Just my guesses.

Did you Tweet this to Elon??

This is some of the best news I've heard in a long time; Ukraine taking the battle 1,200 km to the source -Russia's drone factory- where they can nip it in the butt. I hope they do the same wherever Russia converts those big 1500 KG monster bombs into glide bombs. That would really help turn...

Apparent Russian influence in Germany's bad decision to shut off nuclear energy and buy Russian gas and oil instead, likely leading to Ukraine's invasion.

Thanks for posting this; which I'd seen this to donate last year. I just sent $4,500 to Razom.

If only everyone thought this way.

????? It looks like a grain storage building in Ukraine being kuputted... So we are to assume Russians were in that part of the building?

Anyone know if these places to donate are legit or if they're scams???- https://open.substack.com/pub/snyder/p/the-challenge-of-6?r=faywz&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email

The ride-along could be some sort of data collection/marketing.

Delta is cheapest the farther out of the money they are when you buy LEAPS, and as TSLA share price rises, Delta increases nicely, accelerating the rise in option price relative to what you bought them for; that's the part that appeals to me of LEAPS vs. the limited 1:1 rise in corresponding...

TSLA doesn't feel very bottomy to me.

Good idea. And reinforce the cables so they might double as a way to reel it back, dragging it home to retrieve the weapon system if the bot is disabled.

Hee hee... but that hardly matters if there's no fleet left, now does it?

I don't disagree that FSD will eventually cause a pop, but posts about FSD have a way of propagating out of control for months on end; I think they're trying to keep them in the Investor's thread... And nothing does indeed move the SP up quickly sometimes.

Or just clearing out inventory before some little production and spec change that requires a bit of retooling. Could be anything. If I'm right, it will proably improve the production rate, lower cost, make the car better or whatever as Tesla is known to do from time to time. If I had my say, I'd...

Supercharger station buildouts amaze me, with an astounding over 30 stations within 100 miles of my home, mostly 250 KW! But what do we know of service center buildout rates?

No new posts since Yesterday at 6:37 PM??? Spooky... --- Spooky mod: several FSD posts got axed. That discussion belongs in the main thread or the dedicated FSD threads, not the options thread.

Indeed. And then there's the sudden realization that you could/should have been doing that all along.

Is V12 FSD update coming to all Beta folks now? Wondering why I haven't seen any sign of it yet. I'd love my skepticism for imminent TSLA price boost from V12 to be proven wrong.

It's far out of the realm of possibility. Ain't going to happen. Edit - not in 2025. 2026, on the other hand... isn't looking too likely neither. Robotaxi's years away yet. Edit - whaddaminnit; you want Tesla doing this "similar to what Waymo is doing"?? Who's side are you on?? Sure, TSLA would...

Yeah. I thought the plan was to keep production high and lower prices if necessary... to support the mission.

Perhaps if it bigly went the wrong way overnight? Say if I only ever buy or sell options, no spreads, no hedging...? ...(so did I just tell everybody I'm doing it wrong?)... Is that why my trading account balances are indeed but a rounding error of my balances during the TSLA ATH's of $1,200 and...

Speaking of risk management... Many posts here mention not betting the farm all at once, but instead making lots of smaller, frequent smaller plays, or keeping some random amount of free cash on hand... Edit- extropolate using only smaller bets far enough, and you're making NO bets. Thinking...

I think perhaps the latest expirations are safer than fewer days till expiration. More time to hapopen to get back in the money.

Fat lot of good that does us (waiting until we reach $205.67 again) if we wanted to buy in at @dl003 's $171.7 firm bottom. Or, at this point, even now at the $179 dip. What to do?? (Edited for clarity)

Why are those Cybertrucks just sitting all over the place instead of getting shipped???

Like the Chinese.

Sounds like $100,000,000 to 999,000,000 IMHO.

""Gormless" is an adjective that means lacking intelligence or stupid. It's primarily used in British English." Perhaps we should take up a collection and send the Germans a nice gorm.
