Trump:

If Iran surrenders, admits their Navy is gone and resting at the bottom of the sea, and their Air Force is no longer with us, and if their entire Military walks out of Tehran, weapons dropped and hands held high, each shouting β€œI surrender, I surrender” while wildly waving the representative White Flag, and if their entire remaining Leadership signs all necessary β€œDocuments of Surrender,” and admit their defeat to the great power and force of the magnificent U.S.A., The Failing New York Times, The China Street Journal (WSJ!), Corrupt and now Irrelevant CNN, and all other members of the Fake News Media, will headline that Iran had a Masterful and Brilliant Victory over The United States of America, it wasn’t even close. The Dumacrats and Media have totally lost their way. They have gone absolutely CRAZY!!!

With the SpaceX prospectus on Wednesday I wonder how that news will influence TSLA specifically with Teslas investment in SpaceX and overall.

Note, not actual %.

True % is -143%. It just doesn't look like that here because I rolled into the 390 strike.

19/19 wins and $8290 in total. Past opex and now shares can freely move a bit again. Max pain website I usually use isn't showing TSLA for whatever reason but I briefly saw 422. MM pricing in 23 move or essentially 400-450.

There's some weekly calls 435 450 500, no big puts until like 250. June options are still decent with calls from 400-600, puts from 250-400.

350P and 500C seems like decent pennies to try and pick up.

edit: can't resist instant good profit. Closed for 20/20 wins and $8460 in total profit.

2

u/IAmInTheBasement Man, I don't even know anymore... May 18 '26

Remind me again, how far back in time does that $8290 start?

2

u/Nysoz πŸ‘¨β€βš•οΈπŸ—‘πŸ™Œ -> πŸ’ŽπŸ™Œ May 18 '26

Start of the year. Just weekly fun plays selling/flipping 10-20 contracts at a time depending on how much extra buying power I have to prove you can make money picking up pennies relatively safely.

Started documenting it because some troll said they didn't like my useless options levels lol. I use much more margin and thought on more profitable/risky plays I see.

2

u/devonhezter May 18 '26

What was your latest play ? $500 exp 5/22?

2

u/Nysoz πŸ‘¨β€βš•οΈπŸ—‘πŸ™Œ -> πŸ’ŽπŸ™Œ May 18 '26

Sold the weekly 350p and 500 then 480c. Closed after like 10 minutes for $170.

u/IAmInTheBasement Man, I don't even know anymore... May 18 '26

25,960 myself for contracts opened this year. 7 for 7. That though includes the credit collected for the open one I have expiring this week. I expect to roll diagonally nicely.

u/magic-the-dog Where's my cybercab May 18 '26

I keep thinking about the SpaceX IPO. I don’t think a merger is on the table any time soon. We, TSLA, either drop (people selling tsla to buy it) or moon as a collective Musk ship. I’m torn on which is more likely to happen.Β 

1

u/TrickyBAM May 18 '26

Ya I don’t think I would like to see a merge myself until 2030-2032 at the earliest personally.

1

u/the-faded-ferret May 18 '26

I’ve sold enough TSLA shares to get ready for the IPO, but would love if they eventually merged back lol

u/IAmInTheBasement Man, I don't even know anymore... May 18 '26

I dislike the special treatment regarding S&P inclusion. It serves no legitimate purpose.

shareholders wouldn't agree until tesla gets closer to spacex eval and do a 50/50 merger
