Does anyone have a portfolio made up exclusively of TSLA options? If so, what strikes and expiration do you have? I currently have 100% in Tsla Sept 115s bought awhile back for around 10.65. Contemplating whether it would be prudent to hold through earnings or roll prior to earnings to jan 14 or jan 15. Any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks.
A few thousand sept calls with strikes of 160 and 170
(and $TSLA-Stock).
EDIT: And some August $95 puts as a hedge.
They don't have to study anything. I'm sure Tesla would be willing to license their drivetrain technology to GM, for a price....
I took advantage of it and bought some more SOL at $4.12. Already back up above $4.25
These are the opportunities you need to take advantage of as an investor. SOL just ran up 100% in a month. It has corrected almost 20% since yesterday morning, and since my investment thesis on SOL has not changed I quickly scooped up a few thousand more shares. People will take profits after a 100% run up in a stock. Doesn't mean that the rally is over. If the stock goes below $4, I will buy even more.
Why Sept and not August?
When you say a few thousand, do you mean a few thousand contracts?
Sleepyhead -- Not to take this off topic, but I've been a (relatively) long-time holder of SOL. Bought at ~$3, rode it all the way up to ~$12, then back down to $3, bought more, rode it down even more, bought more, and now it's finally starting to come back. Just curious what your general investment thesis is/was on SOL?... My general thesis was that solar is inevitable and that I wanted to invest in Chinese solar vs US solar because China wouldn't face the internal politics creating headwinds for solar that the US does. Having been to China, I figured solar was even more urgently needed there, and if the gov deemed it necessary, it would happen. Then I did research, and landed on SOL. I felt like a genius at first when it ran up to $12, then like an idiot for being greedy when I didn't sell and it plummeted back down.
Just curious what your general investment thesis on SOL was. Thanks.
I was looking for a high omega and ended up with these calls. A few thousand contracts.
Just to clarify you have a few thousand contracts (each contract controls 100 shares), so that controlling 200,000-300,000 shares. You've got $400k-600k riding on your Sept calls (based on current price)?
Or do you mean controlling 2000-3000 shares (ie, 20-30 contracts) with about $4-6k riding on them (based on current price)?

I feel like if tomorrow is a bit down like today and possibly dips early, it will be time to pick up AUG calls.
I think I'm going to go for 130's. Anyone else planning option strategies?
March 14 calls listed. Premium over jan 14 not much more but you get an exra qtr report inI bought some Aug $150 calls for $1.75 today
I also picked up some Jan14 $190s just for fun.
