【Voting Post】$Tesla Motors(TSLA)$  One of the item to look out for while trading options is the theta . Theta shows the rate of decline in value of the option due to time decay . Eg if it is 40 theta it will mean that is decays by about 0.40 cents per day . When you sell an option , theta decay would be in your favour ! if one's risk tolerance is higher can choose for a higher theta decay , better returns too! If risk tolerance is low , one may consider to choose a longer expiration date but do note the theta is much slower . As per the example below . It is always about risk and rewards ...Good Luck!

Unusual Options talks?(7.3)Tesla's back, Crypto revise

On the first trading day of July, three hours before closing, perhaps due to the rush to join in the festivities of the US Independence Day (July 4th), the bears seemed weak and lacking energy. The overall market saw a slight increase with the S&P 500 (+0.12%). Leading the way were $Tesla Motors(TSLA)$ with better-than-expected vehicle deliveries (+6.89%), causing investors who previously thought Tesla's upward momentum had fizzled out to return. In terms of option activity, large trades once again appeared, as trading was very active around the $280 price level due to yesterday's opening.
