Only "worry" is that at these levels some (many) of the shorts may be covering and thereby 1) profiting (had hoped no shorts would) 2) decreasing the short interest so that any future short squeeze may be smaller. This would imply of course new investors coming into the stock, or current long holders increasing their positions.
I'm a bit worried. The stock is lower than it was a year ago. It's not terribly far off the lows for the last year (ignored that 1-day "2 executives leave" blip). I can't afford to be any more invested in TSLA than I am, so buying more isn't an option for me.
Seems like there's more to be nervous about than at any point in the last year. Before now, it was always progressing along: new factory, factory event, early cars going through crash testing, etc. Now Tesla is having delays, some quality issues (causing the delays), all creating a much more ambitious ramp up than before, discussing raising more capital when I thought the DOE loan was supposed to be more than sufficient margin for error.
I don't see any "slack" left. Their burn rate ramping up the X (and Gen3?) early has left no margin for error with the S.

To elaborate on that, somehow I don't have a bad feeling about this. It's either shorts coming in who get smashed later, or it's people selling who wouldn't have had the confidence to go up very high any way. So we might get a more stable "foundation". Could be wrong of course, just how I feel about it.

Only a little sad that I didn't sell at $36. I was about too but I didn't think it would have another big dip like this. I'm just sad for the missed opportunity to grow my stake, again.
Nope. Along with everyone else's thoughts, as long as you're only investing with what you can afford to lose, you're fine.

January $15 put @ $0.95
You're basically giving someone the option to make you buy 100 shares of the stock between now and January at $15/share. And they're paying you $0.95/share (so $95 for all 100 shares) today for that option.
After doing so, one of 4 things can happen:
(1) Tesla stock is under $15/share in January, and the option holder exercises the option (making you buy the stock at the $15 price).
(2) Tesla stock is above $15/share in January, and the option holder lets the option expire.
(3) Sometime before January the option holder gets nervous, and behaves like (1) but immediately.
(4) Tesla doesn't exist in January. Sometime before that (3) happens.
For all 4 outcomes you either pocket $95 or you buy the stock for an effective cost of $14.05/share.
Actually, you can do a bit better. Technically, you could put the $95 in an interest bearing checking account and earn some interest until/unless the exercise (1, 3, or 4) occurs. Doing so would make your effective cost less than $14.05 (1, 3, or 4) or your cash more than $95 (2).

Well, going in to short now is like getting in for a long position when it was at $39, but yes I see your point, some may take this dip (on no news mind you) as a signal that TSLA is going to crash somehow. Extremely unlikely IMO.
And I like to thought of the "foundation getting stronger".

Mr. Musk stated, repeatedly, that any capital they 'might' raise is NOT required. It would be used for 'cushion' and/or to put the pedal to the metal for R&D on GenIII car. So, I'm not understanding why it's being viewed by many as a negative thing, unless you think he and his finance specialist are lying?
I also see no reason for the jitters (or however you want to label the sediments) because they're taking their time building the car and correcting things they aren't 100% satisfied with, swapping out suppliers who aren't on board and can't obtain the high standards et al... This IS a positive, not a negative. The negative would be a recall.
People need to stop over-analyzing things, distorting comments and taking them out of context, and probably not have that sixth cup of java. :wink:
