Trading Tesla, Again

In yesterday’s trade alert, we recalled two successful Tesla (TSLA 0.00%↑) trades:

We’ve traded Tesla on both sides of the market. In April 2025, we opened a bearish call spread and closed it three days later for a 292% return on maximum risk. That exit is recorded in the original alert thread.

Our bullish call spread from November 2024 returned 378% on maximum risk when we closed it the following month. That exit is recorded in the original alert thread.

I also described how buying a Model Y this month changed my perspective:

Since those trades, I bought a Model Y Dual Motor Premium. Its Full Self-Driving (Supervised) system has impressed me most. According to the stats the car keeps, I’ve used it 98% of the time I’ve been in the car.

Another FSD Encounter

After yesterday’s alert went out, a juvenile black bear ran across a rural New Jersey road in front of us. The car’s FSD slowed the Model Y to avoid it. We asked Grok by voice to clip the dashcam video. Here’s the encounter:

Today, we’re revisiting the Tesla structure with an updated limit entry price. The other two trades center on software infrastructure and life-sciences tools. One came from our Market Watchers list of potential trades; the other came from our Multibaggers list of longer-horizon ideas. Both now pass our technical timing screens. Full trade structures, entry limits, and exit plans follow below.
