Once in a while a trade appears that is intriguing to consider the potential results. Tesla Stock (TSLA) is definitely in that category. The CEO is so worried about short-sellers that he may finally be playing into their game as the stock is down big again today following a bizarre interview with Musk.
I discussed this trade on my public yahoo forum so I am leaving this trade open to all investors.
Tesla Stock (TSLA) – Sep 21 expiry
I bought 5 of the $300 put strike for $17.75 and I sold 5 of the $285 put strike for $14.75. I have a debit on the put side of this trade of $3.00 but if the stock falls to $285 this trade will be extremely worthwhile. This is a $15 spread.
