As we get closer and closer to this moment I’ve been banking on, I realize that it’s too corrupt and irrational to go the way I want. Tesla is either going to cook the books or zoom up even with terrible numbers. They’re going to make a bullshit claim about some new product and the market is going to fall for it. Maybe Trump will tweet something to spike the market to help his owner. I think Tesla is going to go up significantly on bad news. It wouldn’t surprise me at all to see it hit 280 this week. I think I’m going to cash in my short shares and my inverse ETF holdings. I will keep my puts. If it does soar, I will but buy back shorts at a high price because it’s going down again. But I think in the short term and for absolutely no reason, it’s going up. I’ll look pretty stupid if this whole thing I placed for comes to fruition and I miss out, but at this point, it would shock me if Tesla stock made sense. --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/investment-general-discussion-thread/1015169)._
