$15 mil bearish bet placed on Tesla 30 min before closing bell
$Tesla (TSLA.US)$ this option strategy is called a synthetic short. it has nothing to do with synthetic shares. It’s called that because it simulates being short on a stock. It involves buying a put and selling a call to open at the same strike price near what the share price is at the time. whoever open this position will pocket the 7 million from selling the call upfront. When the price of Tesla drops and it’s below 750 at expiration they can buy the calls to close for one cent each and they keep the entire $7 million. As for the put that they buy, As the share price of Tesla drops they can sell the put to close at any time and make a huge profit on that leg of the option as well. Google synthetic short option strategy or synthetic long option strategy if you want to understand more. A synthetic long would be selling a put and buying a call to open at the same strike price instead. Who opened up this position today? I’m fairly certain that it wasn’t retail and it was smart money also known as the institutional side or hedges.
