    Tax discussion, strategies and questions

    Thanks @ggr @MP3Mike @adiggs Great info, very helpful. My original avg cost was $5 for each contract, so 30k of the original investment. I like @ggr approach, that was one of the options I was considering as well, to fund exercising shares from selling calls. I have a bunch of other similar...

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Someone posted this and want to get some feedback: I could sell 5 covered calls expiring Jun 2022 @ $3500 for ~$340. This would net me ~$170K, which I'd use to buy more shares. If TSLA exceeds $3500 and my shares are assigned away, and capping my gains to 3500. If TSLA doesn't hit $3500 in the...

    Slow day... all the puts are in place and working nicely. So quick question, have you guys tried long-dated puts such as Jan 2021 1400p goes for 330 so 33k in premium, and 1500p for $387 Or stick with the 2/3 weeks short-term puts? Any feedback?

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Maybe OT, but have you tried the same strategy with other stocks. I have some tech stocks for which I am tempted to try selling puts. I am so in-tuned with TSLA news and near/long-term milestones that I can make informed decisions, but not with other stocks. I might still try selling OTM puts...

    I just started couple of months ago selling puts, and I have already made enough to buy Model Y. I have not even touched my shares/options/leaps or done covered calls. This is just crazy, cannot describe it any other way. And, thanks for this thread, learned a lot.

    One of the put position opened yesterday 1020p 07/10 is already up 75%, guess will have to open 1120p....

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    I agree, I have many many calls expiring 2021/2022, but selling puts is an excellent way to keep "dry powder" and still earn premiums on it.

    I was worried about aggressive put, but I am already 40% up and on the other put another 15% up. this is crazy.

    So went little aggressive this time. Closed 07/02 980p for 85% profit, and sold 07/10 1020p for quick 4700 premium. Hope it works out.

    So I have 980p and 985p cash covered puts expiring on 07/02, it will be interesting to see whether they get assigned or not. Chances are that they will be assigned, but depends on macro. what do you guys think?

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    That's correct, I don't use margin. Now, as the SP increases, that 176k will suddenly become 200k and so on. I tend to close the put once I am almost 85-90% and open a new one, as there is no point in waiting for that last 10-15%. What do you guys generally do?
  29. T

    Wiki Selling TSLA Options - Be the House

    Selling cash covered puts is becoming expensive with share price rise. I generally sell 2/3 puts at any point in time. Now, I will have to add more cash to account and tie up the funds.I am in 06/19 855p which is 80% up and 06/26 895p which is 30% up.
