Market Cap - F 60 Billion, GM 51 Billion, TSLA 24 Billion



  • TSLA at $197.00
  • 190 Feb14 weekly puts at $2.09


IMO ....... TSLA is grossly over valued. I am thinking of buying the 190 Feb14 weekly puts. Maybe today or Wednesday. Will update when/if I open the position.
 
Earnings Wed 19th post market...

Personally I like the March 160 Put for 4.25 - give you some time to let stock fall after the run into earnings.

With the weekly ending so soon (14th) you're hoping for a huge downgrade, or another car fire.... not a bet I'd take. Plus you're OTM, so if it moves down a little do you take a profit of 50$ ? (decay going to kill you) or do you hope to strike it big .... which usually means 100% loss.

Thanks for posting your trade FX and also your info on my GS post. I will keep an eye on this one too. The option premium on this stock is insane, but given the volatility, I guess it is warranted. If you are still holding, it looks like TSLA will open down today, giving you some nice returns. Good luck.

I would be worried buying an option so close to expiry, but this one seems to be working out.

This stock has a range of $10+ intraday. Crazy to watch. Tempting to pick up some puts on the last day before expiry for a lotterty ticket :)
