Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2015

[ScepticMatt]

^ you mean this? Tesla Motors on Twitter:

Isnt that the new Model X? It has sideview mirrors and no cameras?

No. Yes.

(Same old white prototype that is toured all around the world, last seen at the CES Panasonic booth)

Someone is working hard to hold the price back for damage control. As of this morning there were over 225,000 put options underwater for just this week.

Some big numbers of open interest, even up to the 300 level of puts. I don't fully understand the play there other than someone shorting at 280+ and then selling short puts on top of that and then releasing the short this Friday through options assignment. Money would still be made there.

Either this means a 10 dollar increase by Friday or I don't fully understand the market. I guess they are waiting for a uptrend in futures to make the move.

Maybe they didn't have the correct chairs to do the interview in?

Had to say it.

It keeps cutting out at important moments!

Oh, and the moderator seems like a douche. Making it seem like Tesla is the bad guy in all this. Please.

Yeah, getting annoying. I might just watch it later after they put it up.

Rewind it about 1 minute and let it go from there... Something about watching it live is messing it up.

Dumbest interviewer on the face of the earth..."Shouldn't electric car owners figure out how to pay their share of the taxes gas car owners pay?"

Ummm, isn't that the role of government?

I think for the first time in my life I actually felt sorry for Elon right then.

Again, it's 2015, why do we still have problems with streaming things.....man!

Again, it's 2014, why do we still have problems with streaming things.....man!

Imagine how awesome it'd be if it were 2015!

Reminds me of trying to get an internet feed from the Atlanta Olympics on the IBM-built system back then.
