    north American safety board affirmed safety guidelines for 2014 model S. will be interesting to see if this just goes back to 155 this week.

    An analyst said tesla to be bought in 2014 (pure speculation on his part) ..from reading this I was thinking GM..anyhow this "rumor" even as loose as it is may make tesla hit 170 on Thursday. if can break 155.


    And the beat goes on....

    I was on my call and yelled "short tesla" ; short twitter. Will be interesting to see if 73.87 is the high. But I just don't see it really trending down till after the new year!

    yeah I was feeling the same way. I'm still short though cause I'm a stubborn ahole lol. Someone is buying the **** out of the Jan 90 calls. those calls are actually rising while the stock just dropped they are at 2.10 now. someone is fking up.

    Also, watching SCTY long

    Those Jan 18th 90 calls peaked at 5.60. I feel very strongly that someone is fking up, but I may only lose money on this trade.

    About 280,000 out of the money Jan call options traded today in TWTR. Completely nuts. I ended up selling the Jan 90 calls for an avg of 4.08 and I'm even deeper in my short lol. One of my bigger sized trades of the year. It seems to be setting up in my favor now, but this has been a mega pain trade.

    May I ask- did you try to trend in - average cost dollar or did you just short your position at one price point? <Its hard to short on the exact top..just capture the correct downtrend >

    Separate thought - I'm looking to go long into Apple calls either Jan 3 to capture a price spike after Apple releases presale order figures (I figure it will be Monday) or Feb 22 to capture that news and earnings. I'm not too sure when Apple will release those figures.

    I got in all kinds of different ways lol. but the bulk of my short was at the top of the range today. However, I also lost a lot on some 65 calls that I had sold. I covered those and just shorted the stock since those calls were just trading like stock since they were so far in the money. I really need this thing to close below 72.50. That said, I just don't know who is out there that could still buy this stock. I mean I think everyone who wanted to buy it did buy it today lol. This volume is just insane for the day after Christmas.

    robbie- What do you think of QIHU? I'm looking at writing some 80 strike calls for January expiration.
