Thanks to Robinhood, the bulk of retail investors who bought Tesla did so via call options. Their loss if therefore limited to their call premium. The biggest bag holders are the institutional market makers who wrote the calls and were delta hedging as Tesla went parabolic.

For Softbank, they implemented a sophisticated delta neutral bull spread. They reportedly got out on 27/8 and 28/8 with a US$4 bil plus profit. The genius behind this trade is Abu Dhabi-based Akshay Naheta, a former Deutsche Bank prop trader who now heads SoftBank's new asset management team.

The big boys make the rules until some of them are hurt badly enough.

There is not enough volume in the pre-market for the market makers to unwind. The fireworks will start when the cash market opens and the algos race to see who can be first.

this is golden & true on all counts.
always always practice risk management & have a stop loss.
it's senseless to sink deeper into a hole.

:o


TBH, i never understood bagholding, paper loss or "you don't lose till you sell" crap.

It's like you're a biz owner, your biz is failing, yet you die die don't want to close shop and just hoping for a miracle even when you're bleeding rental and expenses every month. Makes no sense.

If you genuinely don't believe the stock can generate you decent returns, just cut loss and move on. Learn from your lesson, improve your DD, and look elsewhere to make back. Unless you tell me you're making losses with every trade/investment, then nobody can help you and you should just stick with ETFs.

Doesn't matter if we're in a bull or bear market, there are ALWAYS opportunities if you look hard enough.

Why 2 more days? I think it is good news that Tesla has raised the $5B. They should be able to scale faster.
