Overall Thesis
Randy describes selling long-dated, at-the-money Tesla puts as an arbitrage play around a possible SpaceX-Tesla merger/buyout announcement. He expects that once terms are revealed (speculating figures like $420, $500, $550 or $690), Tesla's stock will move up quickly toward that figure, though he is uncertain when or whether the deal will actually be announced.
Narratives
TSLATeslaThe host is selling at-the-money long-dated puts on Tesla as an arbitrage trade, betting that an eventual announcement regarding a SpaceX-Tesla merger or buyout will push the stock up close to the speculated buyout price. He has already rolled the put strikes up as the stock has risen.
Key Arguments
- Selling at-the-money long-dated puts to collect premium while positioning for upside
- Thesis is that once merger/buyout terms are announced, the stock will move up close to that implied price quickly
- Has already rolled strikes up from 370 to 390 as the stock rose from 370 to 406, collecting roughly $120k in premium
Risks acknowledged
- Uncertain when the merger announcement will happen
- Uncertain whether a full merger occurs versus just terms or a vote outcome being announced
Predictions (1)
BullTarget: $555Conditional on a SpaceX-Tesla merger/buyout announcement, which the host separately guesses could come in the next 3 to 4 months; once announced, he expects the stock to move up toward the implied buyout figure quickly.
