Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable
- Thread starter AudubonB
- Start date
The fed is extremely accommodating to the economy and the overall market. They knew what the numbers were most likely going to land since January and they keep saying "measured approach", and setting expectations of 3 rate hikes, starting in March. They believe the economy is not very heated and can potentially be fragile incase another variants pops up. They also don't want to disturb lending by giving extremely hawkish guidance as that may have banks reduce lending with high expectations of massive rate hikes out of left field.
If you just listen to the fed in January, they want to transition with as little disturbance as possible.
It's just the stock pumping banks calling the sky is falling. They are desperate for higher rates as their earnings were trashed throughout the last 2 years bailing out hedge funds.
Probably for the better anyway. I've been trying to pay down my margin in preparation for taking delivery of a Y and these drops in share price are practically turning me into a day trader. I bought 30 shares on Friday and just sold them again this morning. I've done the same two other times in the last month or two.
I'm really much happier when I'm simply holding. Last summer when the price was down to around 550 I was perfectly happy. Not a concern in the world. Holding Tesla stock is the key to happiness.
Well, folks,
I can HODL forever without stress
but selling 4% for a house downpayment was stressful.
I will miss those shares but we parted ways at 912.69.
Definitely NOT advice.
I am looking forward to my new house.
As always, I wish the timing of the cash needs was better

EV Competition is coming, with their.... manual transmissions?
It Seems Like Toyota Has Taken #SaveTheManual Quite Seriously
Toyota is thinking about driving enthusiasts in the age of electrification by working on a manual transmission for EVswww.topspeed.com
(Edit: Assuming they did an actual gearbox which it's not.)
This might be useful for an under-powered BEV (addressing battery scarcity). In theory, the user could get the same initial G-Forces off a smaller battery and it could be fun. I still like a good shifter, so make it ratchet shifter so the tires chirp better. I bet it will go VROOM-VROOM too, same crowd. I'm sure some will like it if cheaper, even at the cost of some efficiency loss (consider it's the same crowd that always wanted a blower installed - NOT for efficiency reasons.)
Consider this: If battery chemistry couldn't provide much juice (science wasn't as good), then you'd likely need a shifter for any decent acceleration off the line that compared with ICE. Now battery constrain Toyota and they have a similar problem IMO. I never liked early Hybrids as they were so gutless - felt like a golf cart. So take a 12kWh battery + 3 speed transmission... it's at least usable and would have some market share in a gas void economy.

I'm in the same boat at the moment. Trying to stall the vendor on the exchange/completion dates. Just don't look back and think "why didn't I wait a minute/hour/day/week/month etc." Enjoy the new house!
Feel free to check out the other thread, lots of not advice, advice on this type of situation where you dont need to sell your shares.
Oh I have two other accounts with most of my TSLA which aren't getting sold for many years (decades?) yet. My fun account is where I day / swing trade, using margin sometimes to buy stocks for quick turnarounds. I make a few grand now and then day trading TSLA there, and the past few days was an opportunity I missed. I was too afraid of the market tanking even further down, but things are looking up now.

Who else (besides Murphy) gets excited whenever someone publicly announces they are shorting TSLA?

OK, I misunderstood the Toyota story as it's a simulated gearbox, not real. I didn't del because I wonder about any market utility. Range would be terrible, so maybe it's for go-kart tracks or other fun machines. Likely OT now.
We're right around Max Pain today and it's only Tues. (I have a call option expiring Fri.) Close it or wait for higher? Assume I'm not rolling, only trying to exit some leverage at this time.
Yeah, but Dodger would argue with him the whole time?
Yeah and media is not helping at all for the reasons for this inflation. Honestly I dont think the Fed can make that drastic a difference with this inflation.
Evidently, nobody knows.
Maybe we can invite Einhorn to the forum as he seems to help TSLA. Will he interview?
I took that not advice and although I'm not getting into options yet (if ever) I am using a securities-based loan for most of it. The best advice ever though is/was HODL!
I think it was something about green and red?It seems that there was something we aren't supposed to talk about this morning and I can't recall what it was.
I've always been very superstitious about superstitions.(Murphy, on the other hand...)
Yes that's it! We were not supposed to talk about Mars, the red planet and its green inhabitants. It's bad luck.

Market : * whack *
Einhorn : Thank you sir, may I have another?

I wrote/sold some $975 CC ($115 OTM) for 3/18/22, is it better to roll when SP approaches $960 irrespective of the date, or wait until 3/11 or so if it's unclear whether they'll go ITM?
I know... It's the Valentines Day response. The shorts have girlfriends too; some deals were made last night.
