TSLA is something else, no way this is explainable retail or whale trading. Someone could leak videos of Elon raping puppies and the stock price would go up. Even fan boys aren't going to pile in after all the heinous headlines they've had in the past 2 years. 5-10 years from now we're going to find out about the biggest scandal in the history of Wall Street.
Elon sold it to xAI, though I see I’m mistaken in thinking TSLA owns xAI. Elon owns it.
Does TSLA own twitter or does Elon own twitter?
I was assigned 10 contracts in April with cost basis of $10.38. I have been constantly trying to get rid of them through covered call with high deltas, some reasons they keep expiring worthless (in most cases) or I rolled them up and out as the TSLA stock has been on constant roll coaster.
TSLA owns Twitter so it’s worse than Meta in that sense. Though electric vehicles are good, so maybe Meta is still more evil.
Why TSLA? Other than people’s opinions on musk. Anything factual? I’m seriously asking out of curiosity
This is what I like to call my “buy Evil” strategy. Add some REITs and PLTR - maybe TSLA if you’re feeling edgy. WMT and META too maybe. johnson and johnsons, dupont, saudi aramco, BP for sure make the list. Many of these companies have so much public subsidies or some kind of support built into them - like they’re not allowed to fail or some BS.
They fraud up TSLA stock before market open, well known thing. May open up or down, who knows.
Here is how the Magnificent 7 performed in 2025 So in 2026 it will perform in reverse order🤔😉 Google $GOOGL +65%🟢 Nvidia $NVDA +39%🟢 Microsoft $MSFT +15%🟢 Meta Platforms $META +12%🟢 Tesla $TSLA +11%🟢 Apple $AAPL +9%🟢 Amazon $AMZN +5%🟢
Sell options on tickers your account can deal with the volatility. TSLA is too hot to handle for many brothers in this forum, include you brother. But there are so many opportunities other than TSLA. Last year I made a ton of money on stuff like XLI. The volatility is lower, and the money your broker asked is also lower. And because the option was overpriced compared to how much it moved... $$$ Stop focusing on the hot girl, and get ready for the one that are marriage material. That's all I wish to you in 2026 brother.
If Amazon was viewed as consumer discretionary, it would be priced higher right now. It's a tech company. TSLA's Price/earnings make it clear the market thinks it's a tech play, too.
Technically AMZN AND TSLA are consumer discretionary but i see your point.
TSLA and Silver pumpin, I really needed this
Are TSLA delivery numbers tomorrow? I'm guessing nine cars delivered. What's the over-under?
In 2026, i would like to see TSLA touch $200 range again
I buy call options all the time and sell covered calls on PLTR. I don’t bother with puts cause it’s hard to root for something to go down. Buy no matter what, I wouldn’t mess with TSLA cause it’s all over the place all the time. My two cents.

How did they go in the end? Hope you profited off that before TSLA got shot in the neck
Glad to see you leaning against TSLA
It's absolutely a terrible advice to suggest an atm 450/300 spread to a newb. Especially in TSLA. Practically criminally stupid suggestion. He's invited to take offense too. Your comment was far too charitable 😉
RKLB is one of the best companies in the space, and INTC is going to cook hard here. NVDA might continue doing well, but I don't trust the AI bubble. TSLA is also going to falter for similar reasons. I could be wrong. NFA
When valuation makes sense: GOOGL $10T in 2026 Reality: TSLA + SpaceX $10T in 2026
My brother in Christ, notice how Burry said Tesla is overvalued but has NVDA and PLTR puts NOT TSLA puts (you’re not copying him at all). Careful playing with fire.
You're taking offense. I said no offense. Your first point to OP is to find a broker with lower margin requirements. I don't think that's good advice. The risk is the same regardless of what the broker requires. If OP found a broker that let them sell at ATM put on TSLA for only $1 margin would you encourage switching brokers and size heavy? Again no offense but perhaps OP needs to hear that the margin requirement is there to protect them and reflect the risk of the trade. Sellers that find all sorts of tricks to reduce margin often over leverage themselves and get wiped out in a sudden downturn.
I think TSLA and NVDA don’t have the moats people think they have and we will eventually see those prices come back to reality. I don’t know when that will be, but I expect it to happen in the next few years. I also wouldn’t be surprised if they continued profitability by building a moat or I was flat out wrong.
I will skip the AI slop and summarize: U are fuk. CVNA is a hedge fund meme stock like TSLA and PLTR that is built on the back of the endless bears who bet against it. It is simply more profitable to burn those who are short than to let it fall.
No offense but that's terrible advice for someone like OP who appears to be a novice. Sure you can shop around to find the broker with the lowest margin requirements. But if you over leverage this way and TSLA crashes down to like $100 your account is gone. You won't be holding shares you'll just get liquidated and you'll owe your broker money.
How can you not be bullish on TSLA when Elon literally rules one party of the USA. He has lots of power and will use it to his advantage
Been looking around for the 50% nationwide robotaxi coverage Elon promised by EOY, but I'm having a hard time finding them. That clever bastard must have also equipped them with active camo in secret! TSLA calls!

Well, I went home for holidays and actually met people who are buying TSLA (and driving it all time high) when their core business is actually not doing well. They are all under the impression that by this time next year, we will all have Elon's robots in our houses, our streets will be full of Elon's robotaxis (driving Uber out of business) and we will all have Elon's AI as personal assistance.
TSLA delivery numbers are going to be suicidal
UBullShit analyst trying to destroy my TSLA calls
TSLA deliveries tomorrow will be piece of shit so tsla 500$ tomorrow
Don't worry it's not bird brain - what I told you is not true in this caae. When I said Pelosi method I was referring to a lot of the Pelosi trades being deep ITM options on tech conpanies like MSFT or AVGO 12 or 18 months out. So deep ITM that they were essentially like buying shares, but with ASTS even deep ITM leaps are expensive as you rightly pointed out. Anyway, let's say you have $10.5k to invest in ASTS. If you buy shares at $73.21 that's 143 shares. If you buy $35 calls expiring Jan 2028 at $52.60, each contract will cost you $5260. So for your 10.5k you would effectively have 200 shares. Your breakeven would be $87.60 in 2 years. So you wouldn't have 2x the buying power, or whatever I said, you would have about 1.3x the buying power. This is just because ASTS is the most fancied stock for 2026 by retail investors so IV is very high. Basically your comment was more right than mine. For most other stocks, even Mag7 with the probable exception of TSLA, buying deep ITM leaps will effectively 2x your buying power but not here. Having said that, you could buy the $35 call for $52.60 and sell the $150 call for $26 which would mean your calls effectively cost you $26, but you would cap your profit if the share price goes over $150. If you're not sure what I mean by that better to run it through AI!
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?
