Am experimenting w/ how best to trade a vertical market. Following up to Message 32933834 I did some tallying of the order of battle, took into consideration that Battery-Day 22 September has potential to enable TSLA to breach August 31st all-time high (~500 intraday) from current ~449 and should it be so then (would add 70-100 to the calls both long and short depending on expiration term and distance from the money) I need to get out as quickly as possible of the long calls (may in truth roll some profit into further-away longer-duration long calls) even as I reckon to add anywhere between 25-50% to short calls, all for a race to the finish line 20th November strikes 700 / 800 expiring worthless. As November expiration is also big for my DRD order of battle, 20th November I shall take off from doing much of anything except goofing off, say champagne picnic and pool-side reading, unless I cut short the suspense and close the trades at advantaged pricing as expiration nears. I just noted that Team USA Election Day will be 3rd November. Means the latest I get out of TSLA longs be, what? ... October 15th? given the Election Day and the expiration date. To roll or not depends on whether it looks like TSLA batteries sport any good stories, and whether the Trump looks to be winning. All very exciting. Should it play out so exquisitely, I stand to be able to add 100+% to my physical gold hoard by 20th November, in time for the holidays. Or just roll the trade forward :0) to get it exactly perfect, depending on what Battery-Day has to say - am agnostic re Elon / TSLA, and only premised on that TSLA has to stay w/i certain parameters w/i specified duration. Nothing bad must happen to Elon between now and 22nd September, and best if Trump looks to win up to 15th October. After that, nothing matters and gravity goes to work, ideally resulting in cratering of TSLA until I am out of the arena and about to re-engage. I am keeping in mind that October is supposedly always down market for USA election years when incumbent is running for re-election. Have not yet figured out the gaming for NKLA. Too much depends on whether it is a fraud or not, it seems. A few hours can make a big difference when leveraged, pivoted, and accelerated :0) The gauge indicating ginormous gains and horrendous losses, but the former more real and the latter I believe, as you did, meaningless. What has been done at this unique (I fear such junctures can only happen w/ TSLA / Elon and at suitably scary valuation) juncture is not cloud-ATM heisting, but atomic bomb-facilitated geo-forming cloud-vault break-in Message 32932317 I also do not believe 800 by 20th November is doable
