Sold 200 shares of TSLA at $213.94 on 11/02/2015.

Thank God! I was stuck with 200 Tesla stocks that I had to buy for $212.50 when the Put options that I had sold last week were exercised! The options gave me around $1000 so I am glad I got a chance to reduce my position in wake of Tesla Earnings tomorrow! I hope the earnings are in Arian's favor in project #TSLA4Tesla #TradingwithAPurpose

Sold to open 4 calls of TSLA_110615C210 at $8.10

Today I am likely to have PUT options 212.5 exercised. This will give me a position of 200 more Tesla stocks. I really do not want to go in the earnings release with 400 long so I sold these options. I have another 4+2 call options sold. I want to take short position so that is the reason why I have them sold. 

First time in Project #TSLA4Tesla, I am in confusion. I want to go short but I have some long positions. I hope the stock does not drop big time...If it does, the sale of the Call options will give me some leverage. If I should listen to my inner voice, I think I should NOT go with short on the options. I sense a real possibility for the Tesla stock to drop by more than 30-40 dollars. Is there a chance that it can go up by that magnitude? I see more probability for it to drop then to go up- 80% to 20%!! I need to go out and take a walk to clear up my thoughts.

Sold to open 2 puts of TSLA_110615P200

Another dumb (or smart??) move..not sure. I am going to have 400 tesla long by today. I want to sell 200 of them before earnings..so if the stock drops, my effective price comes down to $194.
Tesla earnings are around the corner. Fingers crossed.

Sold 2 calls of TSLA_102315C210 at 4.95

...and the stock crashed. Sometimes, prices (http://www.profitfromprices.com) tell you more about the stock than what Consumer Reports editor can tell you! Few days back, the stock dropped from $250 or so to $212. It created a possibility for the Tesla stock to come back to $230. Over last 2-3 posts, I mentioned my desire to be on the short side when it hits $230 level. Now this morning it was almost that level. Yesterday TSLA stock did touch 230 mark. I have sold call options at $220, $225 and $227.50. Debated few times about shorting the stock but I guess having a potential short exposure of 1000 shares (due to the sell of Call options), I didn't want to get into too much risk. I feel bad today but hey, I had made my decision.

Today TSLA got bad report by Consumer Reports and there was precipitous drop in price from $227 to $202!!!

As things are happening the way I wanted, I am creating some more short positions. Sold 2 call options for the week...

Sold 2 calls of TSLA_121815C205 at 17.95 limit

I shouldn't have really traded this far out... but I guess I was a bit scared the way TSLA tesla stock was dropping today and I was worried about the current open position of 200 long! I sold 2 call options which are 2 months down the road for $17.95 with a strike price of 205! I will probably close this position sooner, and at a loss, I guess.

Bought to cover 200 Tesla at $240.12

Thank god, Tesla earning caused drop in stock price! Just few minutes before the earnings, I sold Call options with strike price at $280 for $6.75! As stock dropped, the option price never went above 25 cents the following day and on Friday, they expired worthless.
The next day after earnings, I covered 200 Tesla stocks at $340.12.

Sold 200 shares of TSLA at 239.98 limit After market

It is funny that this blog stands against Jim Cramer's advice about Tesla ca and TSLA stock. Here I am trying to drive a Tesla trading TSLA ;)

“Here’s the bottom line. There are three stocks that seem to know no bounds in a market that gets bound and hogtied anytime it tries to go anywhere. They define the current zeitgeist and I understand the bull case in all three even as I think they are total cult stocks. Still I say Netflix reflects real value. Amazon could if it wanted to. As for Tesla, drive the car but don’t own or short the stock,” Cramer says.
