$TSLA

Here at $320 price is touching the upper BB, I think selling a vertical call spread 2-3 weeks out is a fairly safe bet. Remember time works for you here assuming price staying close to entry...

Looking at the 330/335 May19 for $175...

That vertical is around $40 right now, a nice return on a $500 BP investment if covered now. Although unlikely to hit 330 in 5 days...

120 on 500 including com....That is 25% return in 2 weeks...

Tesla moans about bad news coverage amid unionization push
Tesla's anti-union PR campaign continued over the weekend, with the company publishing a blog complaining that reporters don't tell data-driven stories about safety on its manufacturing lines at its Fremont plant. Instead, publications are eager to parrot the union line, Palo Alto-based Tesla claims. The company said articles "ignore our actual 2017 safety data and ... instead focus on a small number of complaints and anecdotes that are not representative of what is actually occurring in our factory of over 10,000 workers."

Jim Chanos: Tesla a Poster Child of This Market #SALT2017
May 18 2017 | 7:32pm ET

During the media Q&A session at the 2017 SALT Conference, hedge fund manager Jim Chanos reiterated his short stance on Tesla Inc.

Chanos said the firm was “one of the poster children of this market.” Chanos said that investors are overlooking the fact that the company has missed many of its own targets. He also warned that too many analysts are pricing the stock based on what it might earn in 2025. The analysts "can't predict the next quarter...but they're happy to tell you what happens in 2025," he said. "That's absurd."

Chanos asked if that you’re not shorting a company will negative cash flows, mass debt levels, and a significant cash churn, “what would you be short?”

You know it is time to pull out of a stock and sell your shares when pumpers promote bad investment habits like "don't use stops".
