Don't get in front of a run-a-way train.  :)

The tracks are made out of glass, so it's just as risky to stand under it or next to it.

Roof is also made of glass.

Anyone into long straddles?

Who is in for tesla? By the money puts and calls together are about $20k for 2 contracts. (1 call for 10k and 1 put for 10k)

I think with earnings this week it's a no brainer! Free money!

Who is in?

I haven't done Tesla straddles in a while but just a heads up options tend to be expensive in the week or so leading up to earnings. Unless there's some huge surprise, you tend to see very little to no movement on a straddle purchased so close to earnings.

I posted the price. It's $200. The stock gotta move $200 and you break even. Don't you think tesla will move $200? If it indeed beats earnings and posts a profit, it will join the s&p and the stock will go up (at least for a short period of time) to 1800+. If it misses it will go down to 1200 or lower.

You've got the entire DDF community waiting on edge to hear that you did good.

It's a very interesting earnings season while usually a stock will go up after a good earnings report right now it seems that it can actually go down. For example Microsoft had that great earnings report yesterday and the stock went down. The reason for this seems to be that the stock price is hyped up so much ahead of earnings in anticipation of the earnings and it leaves no room for expansion. And now after earnings when there is no hype and just facts there's no momentum

Stock (or as they are known now - stonk) prices at this point have no connection to any fundamentals.

When this news bulletin hit my feed the first thing I thought of was the similarity to something that happened a few years ago, where companies could send their stock soaring simply by adding the word "blockchain" to their name. Long blockchain iced tea, Online blockchain plc, etc. Good opportunity for a pump and dump scheme - just say your company is going to do work related to treating COVID and then sell fast.

Haven't touched Kodak since they were EK.
