Why didn't the TSLA share price shoot up after Musk's speech at the Trump rally in Pennsylvania two days ago?

 

Didn't the Trump-supporting truck drivers who were coaling Tesla drivers and blocking Tesla superchargers rush out and buy Tesla vehicles?

I have moved this to the political soapbox, as it is not Thailand related.

Since the Tesla share price did not jump up and as I had some play money lying around I now speculate on a price downturn and sold a naked TSLA put option. With a bit of luck, I will be the owner of 100 Tesla shares at USD 190.00 per share (currently trading at 219.71) by the end of next week.

In a shocking twist, it was revealed that the girl was real, but that the Elon Musk was actually a robot built in his image.

I am probably the only one here who has met with Elon and done business with him.

 

My opinion is that he is self destructive and will not be in a good place down the road.

 

Fortunately for me, SpaceX is in good hands with Gywnne Shotwell, since I have a very large payload booked with SpaceX. But Tesla may be doomed.

You really have the same kind of humour Trump has. None!

I'm shortening Trump and soon be doing the same with Tesla.

And the nature of your payload is.....what?

 

Some unmentionable?

Hard or Soft?

Animal or Mineral?

Not without sufficient information, obviously.

Trump is too tall, standing at 6 ft 3 in....

 

He could do with some shortening, for sure.

 

 

Well, the TSLA price finally did jump, up 13% from yesterday's close in premarket trading.

 

It may be a long wait now until I can get my hands on the 100 shares at USD 200 I had hoped to acquire with puts.

I'm still trying to get Tesla shares at USD 200 and sold a PUT option expiring this Friday. It's getting closer to my target.
