I have been long Tesla since early last year more or less. I use options to reduce the cash outlay but to profit from the upswings. I started just doing bull put spreads but since mid 2016 tend to buy options 9 months to a year out with a 40 or so delta. I sell when we are getting too close to 3 months or less on the options or when the position size is making me uncomfortable. Tesla accounts for 20% of my net profits this year whilst the position itself has been between 1-5% of my portfolio. Trades have profitable 2 out of 3 times on average - maybe closer to 3 out of 4. My current position is down 50% but its result is taken up in the above. So yeah - I stay long with a modest position without committing too much. I dont bet on the earnings though if you ask my opinion I would be with Pekelo and say that they are likely to disappoint. Having said that - I also thought that of Amazon and was pretty wrong on that.
I'd rather go long BMW. Low PE reasonable dividend. They have the i3 and i8 out already with the other numbers completing the line up over next few years....... and they can actually make cars in volume plus much better build quality than tesla.
And the above is why you should buy TSLA and not BMW. For option traders TSLA has the IV which makes it good to trade.
2007 E60 M5 - quick as a Ferrari when you defeat the limiter. My son taking it around the circuit at Autobahn in Joliet Illinois.
I'm long Tesla long term. No plans of selling in the next 5-10years. I'm certain Musk will become richest man off all time and in doing so Tesla will be atleast 10x where it is now. I'd only sell out if Musk stood down..
Fiat - Ferrari...... Both Italian Both begin with F Just close your eyes and feel the relationship between the two. You are almost there........
