I'm definitely not an expert in consumer goods. And I'm not involved in TSLA or AMZN (or any other company), since I'm trading options only. But...
I don't think Amazon CEO was misleading investors for years like TSLA CEO does. Plus Amazon had much less competition than Tesla.
Just to clarify: I have a lot of respect to Musk, but the fact is he continues misleading investors for years. I mean, the company is in business...
I guess no matter what happens and how much money TSLA loses - the fanboys will continue trusting Elon Musk. No matter how much he is lying to...
Well, my question is what was your edge with TSLA trade? Here is the earnings history of last 10 cycles: [ATTACH] Your thesis was 10% up move....
This trade was a perfect example why buying options before earnings is pure gambling. If you go directional, and you are wrong, you are...

Yes, you were lucky this time. But this was pretty much the best case scenario. AAPL stock had its best weekly gain in 6 years. Did you do this...
Well, if you trade monthly, then there are few other factors to consider: First, monthly would be slightly more expensive. For example, last...
Yes it can. But if you are looking at stock like AAPL that moved 50/50 in the last 10 cycles, then you are guaranteed to lose 95%+ when you are...
I agree. But if it was a negative surprise (or market would see it as negative surprise), it would go down and technicals would not really matter....
There is always a tradeoff. Debit spreads produce less gains but also reduce the risk.
I understand that you buy a vertical and not a straddle. My point was that if the straddle implies the expected move, then straddle P/L after...
@FXbeachbum Few comments: If you position for 100% loss, that means that you average return per trade must be 4 times higher in order to have...
