Tesla Inc (TSLA) stock still looks attractive to short sellers of out-of-the-money (OTM) put options in near-term expiration periods. This is a good strategy to make extra income for existing shareholders.
I discussed this play in my Nov. 10, 2023, Barchart article, “Tesla Stock Takes a Hit from Analysts - But Selling Short Its Puts Make Sense.” At the time, TSLA stock was trading at $208.63 per share and I discussed selling short the $185 strike price put options for expiration on Dec. 1 (today).
