Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2015

[Gtoffo]

Option prices are so out of whack there is no way of manoeuvring much at the moment.....wanted to gamble on some weeklys...

EDIT: I wonder if option prices being so high are a sign that nobody expects this panic to last more than minutes.

That felt like capitulation to me. Anyone else? The only thing I don't like is that we are under the 200-day now.

Why do I have the feeling there were some big buy orders triggered if TSLA was to go under 200? That would explain the insane quick comeback to 215ish.

Something to play in the background while watching the market.

A lot of people on this forum get tunnel vision.

If you invest in the stock market and ONLY look at the TSLA quote you should really do yourself a favour and sell everything now.

This drop has nothing to do with TSLA. Most of the people trading TSLA today probably don't even know what the company sells.

Fired up iPhone, checked TSLA price: 197... omg. Ok, turn off smartphone.

Run to office, fire up browser on desktop: TSLA price: 213.

Lesson learned: never use smartphone again.

Buy on your smartphone and sell on your office PC?:tongue:

TSLA is doing better than every other stock I own and all the stocks on my watch list!

This is either an upside reversal with strength, or a bull trap. I cannot decide which, so I am just eating my breakfast and watching on the sidelines.

Lots of bargain hunters out there. Just look out for that 9:50 reversal.

Of course, like I said above: Smart money wants to get in to TSLA.

Increased volatility rises options?

That was horrifying... TSLA at 195 and SCTY at 34.65 for a moment... I have never experienced anything like this before. :-(

After we're back towards 210s, I'm pretty sure, the worst is over. I will be a buyer today or tomorrow at 200s-ish.

Yeah, I'm sitting on my hands. Hard to not back up the truck when you see stocks down that much.

Good bounce off $195. Smart money is waiting in line for cheap TSLA. Of this I'm certain. There are plenty of other "true" momentum stocks that will be severely depressed for a long time due to this. TSLA is sometimes bunched together with these, but is really not a momo stock.

nice bounce? so SELL
I wanted to buy at $215 but I had no chance whet market opened and I didn't wanted to. Now of course there is no "BUY". But I will work to find where could be bottom. I can do it

Got 200 shares at $203.88. Hopefully, that will be the bargain. Right now looking good. Just wish the other shares looked as great. Took a good 5 minutes for fill order. I thought I missed it and the shares finally showed as purchased on Ameritrade.

Never said this was Tesla related, in fact I was agreeing with others a few posts above that it isn`t (duh... everything is bleeding). But for a stock price to go down from 230 to 195 in minutes, than suddenly jump up to 215 again while everything else is still in freefall, there had to be some buys set up for the unlikely case we went through a certain limit. I imagine around 200. Just trying to think this through logically.

For sure....Implied Volatility skyrocketed to over 100%....I didn't even know that was possibile.....and IV for TSLA was at the historical lows....

As far as I see regarding the TSLA price action today, it mirrors the NASDAQ and most other stocks I watched.

Don't worry, party like it's 2008!

The company was almost bankrupt in 2008. Today Model X is almost ready to be delivered.
