TSLA ER this week, look for a big move there, could drop >10% and <$260, maybe <$250, late Mar-Apr blowoff was a >15% drop of over $50 in a week. Elon might pull another epic fail conf call ala Zuck re FB epic drop, a 20% drop would see ~$230.

TSLA really looks like dog meat but it also smells like a short squeeze cooking....

as BIDU has slid <$230, this trade is looking ok. I'm in for about $1.25 and could close the trade now for $1.75 or so. If it'll keep sliding, better. Would've been better if today was Thurs but .... at any rate, I might cash out b4 the FOMC.

I filled a trade for the TSLA ER - a Aug03 put fly $230/240/250 for 20c....looking for a 15-20% drop. Clearly insane.

trying to find the cojones to put on a strangle or something for the FOMC....am I the only one who actually thinks there is a chance they might pop off another ffr rise today? Just to stick it in the Don's face...?

filled a Aug01 SPY strangle - $278.5/$282 for 11c....markets dying in the Aug heat but thin markets can pop big moves on a little surprise from the FOMC.....

trying again, though - filled a Aug3/6 SPY call calendar @ $284 for 11c....seems a bull slowmo breakout is underway, maybe a snooze NFP would be the best thing for that to keep going?

I let this 22c YUM DC ride thru the ER and price stayed in the box. Now seeing YUM shares grind up towards $81 and the call spread is worth about 35c. I will cash it out with a good finish towards $82 Friday, or let the long options live into next week.

with YUM now trending up above $82, I will look to cash out the call calendar...60c might be possible
