On Monday, November 11, Tesla's options contracts were the most heavily traded among individual stocks, with approximately 2.5 million contracts exchanged by noon, more than double the usual trading pace. The stock also saw a substantial increase in share trading, with over 204 million shares changing hands, compared to its typical daily volume of around 82 million shares. Notably, Tesla call options accounted for 41% of the total U.S. stock options notional traded last Friday, indicating a strong bullish sentiment among investors. Analysts have noted that Tesla's options market is characterized by excessive volatility, driven by its high embedded real options value, further contributing to the stock's dynamic trading environment.

Be careful as this appears to be a rather euphoric move. https://t.co/VixZGZGIVa https://t.co/zV2TrOh7T7
