Hey John,
Hope you’re doing well.
Quick question: I have $500,000 on the sidelines reserved for Tesla (TSLA) investment. I have been waiting for a correction, too long maybe. Any argument to keep waiting?
By the way, I’m thanking you again for my $300,000 investment in Apple (AAPL) as encouraged by you, which is now worth $2.2 million.

Answer: Tesla is likely to see a selloff after it joins the S&P 500 on Monday, December 21. All of the buying for the past six weeks, or $250, has been driven by this one event. Tesla has a long history of 40% corrections after key announcements so I would look to get back in then. Otherwise, keep doing the deep-in-the-money call spreads that I have, made possible by the extremely high 96% implied volatility in the options market. That is four times the (SPX) volatility.
