Tesla $TSLA - Stocks versus Options
Updated
Based on the Average True Range (ATR) of Tesla (
TSLA) stock, it can easily move $10 up or down in one day (see Green candle from today). Based on a move of $10 per share, 100 shares = $1000 gain or loss in a day. To buy 100 shares of TSLA today, it would cost about $23,000. Now consider doing the same thing with Long-term options. 1 call option gives you the option to buy 100 shares for a set price for a set period of time. A Tesla call option with strike price of $220 that expires in June of 2025 would cost about $5,425. The same $10 move in price would result in 1 option = $1000 x Delta %. Delta on this contract is .6629 or 66.3%. Thus 1 option = $1000 x 66.3% = $663 gain or loss in a day. The question is: Do you think Tesla will move $10 higher than the current price before June of next year? Or do you anticipate that TSLA will move $50 higher in the next 'year' (100 shares = $5,000 or 1 option = $3,315? Disclaimer: option Delta changes with price. There is risk associated with investing, especially with options. Also, Elon Musk's social media can impact the stock price.
