Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

[Paracelsus]

SMR hitting on more of Tony Seba's projections regarding the future costs of energy going to near zero, and how this will affect things going forward.

It seems the concept of eliminating the costs of energy is as hard to grasp as is exponential growth. It is so different from the reality up till now, but, reducing energy costs will reduce the costs of everything, leading to something more like the Star Trek economy where money plays a much reduced role and people can be productive without the burden of "making a living" hanging like the Sword of Damocles over their existence.

Tesla is leading this transition and this is B_A_F

Thanks for the link @2daMoon - We are really going to see how corrupt the energy business has been all the way to the top for decades through this incredible paradigm shift where energy sources that also included war profiteering on foreign soils become worthless and replaced by almost free rooftop sources. People in power are dreaming up ways to get us to look the other way while they scramble to create opportunities to grab the last profitable chairs on the Titanic and then create a new future where they control our new ‘most important needs’ since Energy won't be nearly as profitable or as exclusive.

not every downward movement is "manipulation". Tesla got slapped in the face by the Biden administration. that's what's pushing the stock lower this morning.

How was it slapped in the face today (or this weekend)? i.e. What did I miss?

 

[Tslynk67]

From Friday's sharp down close, today @9:48 AM down -14 or -1.9% - thrills never cease - prepping for a 700 Friday close ? - or (you name it)

Not sure "they" want $700 this week, neither $72, $725 right now would be the target if the music suddenly stopped

How so? The proposed tax credit that includes $4500 for union built cars. Now I disagree with this, but can someone point out what GM, Ford and other manufacturers EV cars that are built in union plants. Believe the F150L will be, what others? Any of them plan volume production anytime soon?

What EVs are made in the US at union plants?

Additional weekly call buy order just executed. Unclear if happy or concerned.

The only one I am ware of that meets that criteria is the Bolt which is made in Orion Michigan.

From a Fred story about this:

Musk also singled out Ford, which is going to particularly benefit from the change to the reform that gives a five-year grace period for electric vehicles produced outside of the US to still get the $7,500 incentive.

This is insane. A $40 drop over a period of a few hours of trading on no negative news.

And no, I don't believe the legislation proposal, just like all the others, is significantly newsworthy.

 

[UncaNed]

This is insane like old times. A $40 drop over a period of a few hours of trading on no negative news.

And no, I don't believe the legislation proposal, just like all the others, is significantly newsworthy.

FTFY.

EDIT-
TSLA is paralleling NASDAQ, no?

 

[Right_Said_Fred]

I've seen a lot of ridiculous price actions in my life, but this one certainly makes the top five.

 

[Todd Burch]

FTFY.

EDIT-
TSLA is paralleling NASDAQ, no?

Well yeah, except for the 6x(!) multiplier. Because yeah, Tesla is doing 6 times worse than the average NASDAQ-listed company. There really is no logic in the stock market...

 

[thx1139]

FTFY.

EDIT-

NASDAQ is down 0.5%

 

[TheTalkingMule]

My calls bought at the low this morning will likely be sold for 2x this afternoon and I'll only be in the hole a few k from buying Fridays calls! Yay?

I think I need to look up the definition of "doubling down".

Edit: Didn't even notice I caught the bottom and bought 1 share @ $709 in my HSA account. WINNING!

Does the general investing public know this?

 

[SOULPEDL]

A Grumpy purchase today...

 

[rikkert]

Looks like volume is a lot higher than usual, right? Already 7M just one hour after market open.

Thinking the same, thanks for the nudge!
What expiration date?

 

[euro2012]

How much will the CPI data released tomorrow be helping the MM achieve their goals this week? I can’t imagine it will help boost the stock price.

 

[Yoona]

all ICE
all electrics

 

[SOULPEDL]

Next week's max pain is 735. Hmm...
