A Mea Culpa; And TSLA Is Going to $200

First things first …


Mea culpa and mon dieu!


You know how sometimes when you see something and it looks a certain way even when it is not that way? My Tricida Inc. (Ticker: TCDA) straddle and stock idea from yesterday was incorrect!


The breakeven is closer to $6 and not $0.


I will close the trade idea today, take my small lump and move on.


A short straddle and long stock is a two short put position.


Duh.


Mon dieu!


Moving on to Tesla Inc (Ticker: TSLA) and a big move down after hours.  



I think we see $200 this week, and I have a trade for it.


Every Major Stock Has Had A Huge Multiple Compression


Elon Musk is a brilliant dude.


TSLA went up 10 fold in the 2020-2021 timeframe and split multiple times.


There are not a lot of 10x revenue companies left with $500 billion-plus market caps. Just about every tech stock is going back to 2020 lows.  


But I can think of one, TSLA, that isn’t.



I like put butterflies with a long strike at $200 for next week for low prices.


With sentiment so bad and the Fed spilling the beans on Nov. 2, I don’t see the 10x revenue multiples surviving too long.


Even the last one standing.
