TSLA May 2015 trade

[Edwin 63]

TSLA reports on Wednesday, May 6 AC (UNCONFIRMED).

The May Wk2/May calendars are trading between .7-.9.  

Is anyone looking to get in early, or is it too early to pull the trigger hoping that earnings may get pushed back a week?

I've looked at them too but Musk has a surprise announcement coming out the end of April that may move the stock

Thanks, I forgot about this:

Looking at our previous trades, we can see that 0.80 is a good price, but not a screaming buy that justifies entering so early, considering the gamma risk.

What can justify an early entry is the SLIM possibility of them pushing out a week to report earning in the week starting May 11th ...if that were to happen your money will almost triple
