Call me crazy- I’m considering a Tesla call for next week. I hate this stock. I called the Tesla top at 530 along with Apple at 133 the other day. Thought is retail and battery day run up into September 22nd will put this thing north of 400 easily. This is a short term trade and think Tesla is obsolete in 5-10 years

Tesla reminds me of the movie Wargames.

It’s about an AI program that can give the military the perfect plan for launching nuclear weapons and it learns by playing tic-tac-toe and then a game called Thermonuclear War.

Eventually it learns the best strategy is not to play.

TSLA right now is tic tac toe. TSLA options are Thermonuclear War.

I agree, good risk reward. Even if it opens red not a bad idea to average down. I'm looking to open some tomorrow if it does. 320ish is my buy area. Based on TA.

It’s already $323 post market- once it goes through the PM beat down you might get a better deal than you asked for.

I’m not touching Tesla, but can see an argument for trading in either direction given the volatility of this stock.

TSM1 what about my bearish call vertical play I posted about today? We get to 500, and I’m loading that up.

160-200 (800-1000 pre split price) is my target to enter TSLA

like

Agreed. Nov or Dec harvesting is my guess and 160 was my target. I just don’t know it’ll get there so the 1000 (Pre-split) psychological level is where I’d start buying in.

I think it still has room to run up. The risk reward is not there anymore for me. I left 10-20% so far on the table but not worth the risk. I take calculated trades where there are high likelihood of success and returns.

Those $330 calls at $38 premium would be looking pretty good right now. Up 5x

If it tanks into close I’ll put this position on. Worst case, if it gaps lower the probability that a bounce will happen is huge

I usually sell too early to take profits on these types of plays ( and regret later). However, I‘ll watch the early action on the markets overall. Any negative reactions or movement I’ll lock in profit.

I’m in- $330 calls with stock at the same price. September 25 to cover battery day. $38 premium

Good luck!

The TSLA options are just too big for me to since my positions how I like them. The AAPL split was an options gift for me.

Listen guys, I’m not saying it’s a slam dunk. Based on prior Tesla history and my knowledge of stock runs, it’s a good risk reward. Tomorrow if it gaps down, there is a great opportunity for a play.

Lol tsla is a buy around 50 -75. Wtf is battery day? Some bs non event day turned into a media circus pump and dump? Everyone is expecting a run up so maybe its a beat down then bounce.

Emotions and trading do not go together D2

Well looking good so far! Nice call!

As mentioned above, I usually take these profits too early on early negative action. These are at 57 now and moving strong

Awesome movie! Pay the man his money

Three observations from my market analysis this week:
1) Still work to do in repairing damaged trends with only energy and financials up over the last month
2) Technology has issues with rates, valuations, and supply chains for chips, so this could be heavy on the indexes
3) Setup for the week is concerning with OPEX, lots of data releases, and almost no IVOL premium - lots of event risk and limited hedging in place
