It’s 2024, how are you guys planning on taking advantage the “AI Craze”?

will silver and TSLA ever go up since I bought
You know its a bs list when the biggest AI play TSLA isn't included.
Who is your broker? A $TSLA put @ $400 strike has a margin requirement of $13k to open the position
Considering TSLA lost the court case with Matthews and it never lived up to the hype anyhow....TSLA gave up on it and went with catl who actually know about batteries
I was looking at puts and TSLA had to drop like 50%+ just to double my money
Fun idea honestly, that’s a good way to stay engaged without it being too serious. For a one year contest I’d probably lean toward a mix of quality plus some growth momentum rather than super defensive picks. Something like GOOGL makes sense for steady upside, then I’d add NVDA or AMD for AI exposure, AMZN for consumer plus cloud, MSFT for consistency, and maybe one higher risk pick like COIN or TSLA just to swing for upside. Your list already looks solid. I’d just think about balancing one or two safer compounders with one or two higher volatility names since it’s a contest and not a retirement account. Worst case you lose the bragging rights, best case you crush it and get to remind your wife all year.
TSLL is much cheaper and has better ROI than TSLA. CSPs using leveraged etfs can make for some great returns for smaller accounts.
The Jan 30 TSLA 400 cash-secured put requires 40K in collateral but requires only 8,500 if you are approved to sell naked puts. Stay covered or go naked.
I don't "just sell options", but use several strategies,of which selling puts or calls is one. I trade TSLA fairly often, usually a 5-10 point wide spread. Have a trade on TSLA now that expires tomorrow---sold the 475/480 call spread for 0.32 on a lot of 100. So 3200 potential on 100k----3.2% on a three day trade.
For one I would shop brokers, A feb ATM put in TSLA on TT has a margin req of 18k, not 50. Second, if you want to trade those high lying names just buy a way OTM put to reduce risk/margin...ie sell the 450/300 spread. Another option is to butterfly it off or trade ratio spreads. The third and easiest option is to trade lower priced stocks.
I've been thinking maybe like 7% in NVDA, AMZN, GOOGL, META, NFLX. 5% in RDDT, HOOD, SOFI, PLTR, TSLA, and 1.5% in the rest. Still tweaking this around. With Fidelity Baskets on initial purchase you have to abide by the $1 minimum for fractional shares then afterwards you can do a small reoccurring payment. I'm still thinking about this, but it would be a great way to compare hype and meme stocks to my current portfolio for 2026. Plus whatever's left I'll throw the money into my kid's account or change it to "Reddit's 2027 ETF" idk. Just a quick random idea when I read OP's post.
Lately he’s been spreading negative news and getting to political, meanwhile TSLA is revising sales targets down. It shows his focus is not there.
I’d be wary of anyone who says only one method is the best. Selling options in a low-VIX environment is generally poor return on capital; lower volatility means lower premiums. CSPs can make sense if you ultimately want to get assigned and own the shares. But as you mention, you have to be wary of position size. If you’re feeling the squeeze from trying to trade TSLA, then the dollar risk is too big for your current account value.
Musk is going sell off TSLA
I've looked at the gamma on TSLA, put support is at 450through the 2nd and at 430 through the 9th meaning it could still drop quite a bit and the bears have been on a roll this past week - I would be very careful thinking that it will go up. TSLA will stressla if you dont know what you are doing, it pulls back hard. I'm not sure what expirations you have. I personally would get out and wait until you see a good solid bottom unless you have several months on your contracts left, even at that time deacy can eat at them
Calls on JNJ NEE and MPLX. All of 2026. Plus puts on TSLA.
If you want to cosign a Burry bet, FNMA is the way to go, not TSLA
Options are definitely a step up in complexity because you aren’t just betting on price, you're also betting on time. If TSLA hits 460 but takes too long to get there, your calls could still lose money due to time decay. To answer your question: you'd look at a Long Call.
Maybe if you can extend those PUTs into 2031 or 2036… Also provided Elon doesn’t roll-up some other company he has into TSLA. TSLA valuation can stay irrational longer than you can stay solvent.
I'm also interested to hear what options there are for humanoid robots besides TSLA. It's an area that you know will be the next big thing, but too many players in this space are not public or US companies.
For 8 straight months, $TSLA has opened the month with a gap down But it’s 2026 now Maybe that streak finally breaks
You are gonna lose cuz TSLA is a rigged stock. It's like guessing the ball under a cup scam in Paris..
Yeah you need to narrow it down. Are you anticipating that move today? Or eventually. TSLA options are pricey. A five dollar move is 1% that is nothing for TSLA. You should learn how options are priced, and what the breakeven price is.
I made 120% of my original investment from March 12th to December 12th (TSLA)
+25.76% held SCHG, FXAIX, TSLA, GLD and VYMI. i bought tsla at the perfect time at about 280 but i barely bought any, wish i bought way more.
37.35% YTD. Thank you RYCEY and TSLA. I bought into these stocks 4 and 8 years ago respectively, but they continue to carry my portfolio.
TSLA filled the gap, $500 incoming
TSLA filled the gap, $500 inc
so? TSLA's first couple of years weren't great either. It is clearly outperforming in TSLA 2025. Sorry facts hurt your feelings.
This will end badly, but it's hard to tell when. Tesla's ttm P/E is over 300, and forward P/E is at 205. A good comparison is Cisco during the dotcom bubble. It's P/E was about 180. The funny thing is Tesla currently has a small fraction of the margin and growth rate that Cisco had at that time. After the bubble burst, it took Cisco stock 25 years to hit a new all time high (it just happened recently this year). Musk has definitely done some great things with the company, but there is a 0.0% chance they will earn their way into this valuation. They still make cool EVs, tho. When the bubble pops, I would not be surprised to see a 75% or more decline in TSLA. My guess is it will happen during Trump's second term based on current economic trends like unemployment and home prices.
And someone bought millions in 635 March Calls on TSLA yesterday. It. Makes. No. Sense!
>it’s somehow him buying all the stocks that keeps pumping it. Elon is an insider. All his TSLA transactions are public. >Or the U.S. government Tesla valuation has been sky high for years. Was the Biden admin buying shares to pump it? >Willing to bet How much? Speaking nonsense is free.
I don't know. I just know that people who are heavily invested in TSLA ain't in it for the cars..
Exactly. I mean I can go after the AI play and subsequently the hardware driving it like MU But I exited TSLA a year ago and instead went overall market. EOY saw me exit some minor positions and I’ll revisit next year when the dust settles in the first week. Minor is $120K or so. Immediate short list includes MU, QQQ (buffet indicator). The AI lawsuits (for some reason excluding xAI) are worrisome so I’m not touching the software plays at this time.
Congrats to TSLA for holding all top 3 spots for fastest depreciating cars of 2025! 🥳 Lol what pieces of shit
+29.25 YTD. My port AMD TSLA HIMS. HIMS is my only red -20.36%.
This has been my best year! Biggest play was 13k off puts from liberation day. Biggest loss was 3k from TSLA puts. Leaving the year up 23k~ for my options portfolio 😎
I'm glad TSLA was at least a little green at points during the day to give you false hope
LFG my TSLA puts are printing
Things that Elon Musk said would happen by the end of 2025: - FSD Level 5 autonomy - 50% nationwide Robotaxi network coverage - Human SpaceX Mars mission - xAI realizing AGI - A TSLA roadster that uses cold-gas turbines for short flight capability
Still time for TSLA to fulfill 2025 robotaxi promise
TSLA and ISRG are the best for robotics in my opinion
What happened to TSLA?
Alas, Musk insistence on vision only systems cripples TSLA's prospects for full autonomy.
No idea what NBIS,MU,IREN,TSLA are so that brings it down to ASTS RKLB GOOGL AMZN RDDT PLTR Thanks for the picks
Not only identifying and buying, but holding is also challenging ! Believe or not, I bought TSLA at $41 and NVDA at $55, ACHR $3 - both way before all splits. Had I held those, I would have now multi-millions, but sold them after making appx 100% growth (big mistake). Anything you buy, hold long, esp growth companies.
Good for you then. Why are you arguing? Stay out of $TSLA. Let us enjoy the ride
Do you think China's BYD has a greater advantage than TSLA? But China's BYD has a market capitalization that is nowhere near as high as TSLA's.
Its a sure thang baby, trust me bro -TSLA(bag) holders
There’s a lot of money pumped into TSLA from Chinese people. They see it as a blue chip long term hold. I have no idea why but on Chinese social media it is perpetually advertised as the best stock to hold
Yep. I’m not heavy in Tesla. Threw $5k into TSLA into both our joint account and our 2 yr old’s UTMA at $145 per share and am not planning on selling it for a very very long time.
Why are TSLA investor not selling their stocks to get a Tesla and let a robotaxi bring them unlimited passive income for life?
TSLA is very unpredictable. I’m not feeling too good about ASTS or RKLB. Also RDDT is being volatile lately. The remaining look good to me.
Yes. Most people now believe TSLA is overvalued.
Bro, any top that includes TSLA is a regarded top because TSLA is a meme stock.
TSLA calls, back up to test $500 again before collapsing
Why didn't you sell your TSLA shares at $498? Selling at $497 meant your profits were significantly lower.
There's also future potential that they get to a point where they can truly make an everyman car and have a more robust charging network at which point TSLA would be the Ford motor company of its day. But we're both really saying the same thing, speculation.
Following its $498 price point, TSLA's stock has declined for six consecutive trading days.
Nobody really knows why TSLA is as high as it is - people are going to say that the market is pricing in the possibility of robotaxis, those stupid Optimus robots, or whatever else Musk has been tweeting about lately, but none of those things are ever going to happen. Their cars are fine, but BYD would eat their lunch if they were ever allowed to sell in the US market. Tesla’s main product right now is its stock, and for whatever reason, people place a lot of value on that. I think there is an enormous downside risk to Tesla if not just because the fundamental dynamics of the stock are unintelligible.
Fair warning I somehow lost money on the inverse TSLA funds earlier this year even when the stonk was dropping, those leveraged products have some black magic fuckery
2x leveraged NVDA etf is no longer my best friend hello inverse 2x TSLA etf this must be what r/bogleheads feel just lameness
Do you have a car from tesla? No? Sell, Do you buy anything personally from the TSLA company? No then sell. If you buy buy./
TSLA investors are the most cult like investors I’ve ever seen. Often trading around beliefs and memes from the memelord himself. Invest around strong fundamentals and you’ll do okay. I’m staying away from this slop.
These stocks are already at the highest especially TSLA GOOG. And where is $NVDA lol
TSLA can’t even sell cars anymore and look at their share price. Nothing makes sense anymore
And there goes the TSLA pump into bad deliveries on Friday lul
What'd you use to calculate this? Are you only counting parent level comments or feedback comments as well since I can't see how TSLA made it into the top 10 based on that post. It definitely has less parent level recommendations than other stocks.
In order to understand the speculation in Tesla, you need to look at other companies like Amazon’s stock price history relative to profits and or P/E. For the longest time, the general public thought Amazon was just an online book store but it leveraged that start into an e commerce giant and then eventually getting huge profits from its cloud computing services. The speculators in TSLA hope for a similar story for Tesla. The stock will go up or down based on how likely trader think Tesla is to capitalize on these other revenue streams in the future.
At some point the TSLA bros cash out to buy rings and houses and lip fillers for their GFs.
Most stocks trade on the fundamentals: that is, the expectations that revenues, operating incomes, profits, and cash flows are predictive of future revenues, operating incomes, profits, and cash flows. These can be discounted to their net present values and the stock can be valued accordingly. Tesla is an interesting case. Brian Feroldi likes to illustrate companies with six phases of the business cycle--startup, hyper growth, self funding, operating leverage, capital return, and decline. Tesla was a startup for much of the 2000s and a hypergrowth company for the 2010s when it rewarded its earliest shareholders handsomely and turned many of them into lifelong cultists. However, the operating leverage phase only lasted 2-3 years before it abruptly turned fell into decline (operating income falling by about two-thirds since its peak three years ago). Since then, it has been looking for a new narrative. True, it has a growing energy segment, but this represents only about 15% of its 2025Q3 revenues (slightly more of its gross profits). It has speculative plays in robotaxi and robotics, but while these represent synergy, they do not represent any revenue. Contrary to investors who hate anything associated with Musk, I do believe he should get some benefit of the doubt for being a successful entrepreneur. But unlike the Kool-Aid guzzlers, I also think we should acknowledge the reality that even the promises he's eventually delivered has been delayed by about a decade. Moreover, this success has been more than priced into the stock: these should be priced as incremental a small startup would, not as huge multipliers to a trillion dollar market cap. Currently, it is the narrative, rather than the fundamentals, which has been driving the recent price action. To be more precise, it trades on short-term options activity (driven by the volume of unsophisticated retail investors most likely to buy the narrative) and the subsequent price action that results when market makers (who buy or sell options) need to buy or sell the underlying stock to hedge their positions. Consider TSLA vs. MSFT and BRK.B. I chose these because they are also two megacaps in the trillion dollar club and because they have similar prices per share, meaning that the notional value of each options contract will be similar. Now look at how much difference there is between the option volume for the expiring January 2, 2026. (Note that I've been tracking this for several weeks now, and today 12/31/25 is a much lower volume trading day due to the holidays and a much more bearish day than normal for TSLA by put-call ratio) |Underlying|Current Price|Call Volume|Put Volume|Operating Income (TTM)| |:-|:-|:-|:-|:-| |[TSLA](https://optioncharts.io/options/tsla)|453.84|203,355|179,029|$4,767M| |[MSFT](https://optioncharts.io/options/msft)|484.83|15,694|8,075|$135,937M| |[BRK.B](https://optioncharts.io/options/brkb)|504.74|1,196|391|$90,654M| Today, TSLA has nearly 13 times the 0DTE call volume of MSFT and more than 170 times the 0DTE call volume of BRK.B, despite the fact those stocks have 20 and 30 times the operating income. Those stocks trade on expectations of future earnings, TSLA trades on arbitrage and hedging. That's why Tesla's P/E ratio is out of wack.
Stuff like MSTR TSLA SOUN PLTR all these shitter stocks exist and bears short the oldest currencies known to man lmao
Ummm, why did TSLA make this list
Lots of haters here. TSLA is taking safety-rider fares in Austin, and testing driverless rides. “But Waymo can already do that”, yes, but what waymo does not have is cars. Tesla can put 1 million driverless taxis on the road with a simple over the air software update. it’s a franchise model where the owners own the cars and keep up on them. For Waymo to do the same, they need to build 1 million cars at a cost of around $150B, then they need to build hundreds of garages to charge clean and maintain them, And they need to hire a staff of about 200,000 people to maintain them (based on 1 hr per car per day to clean and maintain). Tesla is at least five years ahead of everyone else on “winner take all” in self driving taxi fleets.

It's not meaningful. It's another measure that shows that Tesla's business has declined. The price-to-sales ratio may be more useful. [Tesla Price to Sales Ratio 2011-2025 | TSLA | MacroTrends](https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/tsla/tesla/price-sales)
