Recently been watching the overnight options flow, and the trades on $Tesla(TSLA.US) last night are quite noteworthy. Let's boldly lay out the five trades (Beijing time): At 21:30, first sold one $402.50 Call, collecting 92k; at 22:59, spent 692k to buy one $380 Put expiring on 7/10; then at 23:31, 00:42, and 03:03, consecutively sold three near-month Puts at strikes $395, $400, and $410, collecting a total of 665k. Let me sort out what's going on here: Those three near-month Sell Puts are collecting rent — the stock price rose 4.6%, intraday even broke 5%, capital is selling Puts 1-2% below the current price while IV is high, essentially saying "I'm willing to take delivery if it drops to $395-410, otherwise I pocket the premium for free." The one that actually spent money is the $380 Buy Put 32 days out, that's the ballast — it's not there to bet on a big move up or down, it's buying downside insurance for a "potential pullback." Plus that small Sell Call slightly caps the upside. This is a bullish, defensive combination of "collecting rent while buying insurance": Bullish in direction (willing to take delivery), but left a gate at $380. That 690k far-month Put is too expensive for most people, but the rent-collection side is more intriguing — for example, selling one Put expiring 6/17, around $395, with TSLA's current price at $408.95, is essentially setting a take-delivery price for yourself 3% below, profiting from the time value over these few days. The maximum loss is the part where TSLA truly crashes below $395 and you get assigned and it continues to fall. I think the stop-loss can be drawn at $390: if it breaks below, close the Put and take a small loss, don't stubbornly hold on, because that would mean the logic of near-month rent collection has been broken. ### Related Stocks - [TSLA.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLA.US.md) - [TSDD.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSDD.US.md) - [TSLL.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLL.US.md) - [TSLQ.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLQ.US.md) - [09366.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/09366.HK.md) - [07766.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07766.HK.md) - [07366.HK](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/07366.HK.md) - [TSLR.US](https://longbridge.com/en/quote/TSLR.US.md)
