$Tesla(TSLA.US) Held Tesla for over a year, some thoughts on Tesla's earnings report.

If you want to bet on Tesla's earnings, you don't need to consider the overall market. The impact of Tesla's earnings on the market and the market's impact on Tesla's earnings are almost zero. Tesla's earnings are its own independent trend.

Don't buy both call and put options expiring soon, the implied volatility (IV) will crush you. It's better to choose 2x long or 2x short.

A big advantage of 2x is that if Elon Musk paints a rosy picture during the conference call, the stock price can skyrocket instantly, and TSLL can be sold directly. Similarly, if it drops instantly, you can sell in time. By the time options open, the price may have already retraced or risen significantly, plus the IV crush, it's like picking up coins in front of a steamroller.
