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

[Fact Checking]

Yeah, TSLA really followed the S&P the whole day with the usual sensitivity multiplier. It's this AH nonsense that’s killing us relative to the indexes.

Market makers probably don't want $670-$700 call holders get ideas and exercise their calls, speculating on a weekend gap up...

The rally in Nasdaq and S&P futures is strong: S&P futures are close to breaking through 3,000.

Good to see so much buying going into weekend! Hope for a better week starting Monday

I hope we get more good news than bad news by Monday but not holding my breathe (though I am still holding my shares).

My net worth plummeted this week but I managed to gain 14 more shares on top of my buys. For now I'm focusing on increasing shares and reducing margin. I might have to ask for refills on my Valium to get through this.

My only concern is that if people have their brokerage accounts down 30-50%, they'd hesitate a bit more on a 50k car unless they really needed it.

Not a problem. I was thinking of an X.

How is Carnival Cruise Lines stock actually up 3% today in this situation? This market makes no sense!

Lol. Dividends!

Ex-Div. Date: 2/20/2020
Amount Yield: $0.50 (4.7%)

But they're far behind on plug-in hybrid buffets, and their BEB (bty electric buffet) R&D is gutted!

Cheers!

You guys really need to own more than just one stock. Broad market buy in last mins probably thinking massive rebound next week.

All my tech stock had a massive rally the last 15 mins.

Dang! Even though TSLA is (by far) my largest holding, and it was down today, my account ended the day in the green due mostly to some recent purchases of Crisper Therapeutics (one of ARK's highest conviction holdings) being up over 8% today and some new additions of TSLA added at prices below yesterday's close.

I think TSLA is an absolute winner (otherwise it wouldn't be my largest holding) but, I completely agree on owning more than one stock. ARK Invest has made a compelling case over the last year that the genomics market is undervalued and ripe for appreciation. I only have a relatively small stake in their ARKG genomics fund because it is more diversified than I like. However, it has performed admirably in the few months I've owned it.

But here's the kicker - they have done the research on the small companies in their fund that have little public information available so I pick and choose amongst their highest conviction picks. There is a lot of fraud and deception (and "me too's") in the sector but I feel confident that ARK has vetted out that type of player, at least with their highest conviction picks. They actually visit these companies and have their own experts talk to the people working on the technology. Some of these companies will be 100 or 1000 baggers. so it makes sense to spread some investment their way. According to ARK, the sector is going to experience amazing growth over the next decade.

Same, I added some shares today in hopes we’ve hit a bottom. Never know though, but I think everyone is ready for good news

 

[Fobble]

I have my truck backing up ready ....

Good to see so much buying going into weekend! Hope for a better week starting Monday

Wat? Do you think it would happen if I did not back up my truck?

 

[wipster]

See. I Bought the bottom. I'm the best. Onward to 1420 on Monday

Note he didn't say which Monday...

 

[lklundin]

I’ve said this many times, and will say it again now:

The mechanics of Max pain means it’s like a magnet, the further the price gets from the max pain point, the less strong the pull and the less likely it will have an effect on closing price.

This time, please elaborate.

In after-hours trading, TSLA has gone green, at least for the time being. The market wants to rally on Monday. The flip side is that a weekend is a lot of time for the virus scare to generate more bad headlines. Personally, I prefer rally.

 

[Buckminster]

Wow, who thought we would be up after hours compared to yesterday's close.

He needs to let each organization do their job irrespective of bias from above.
Thankfully, my boss at work isn't like him.

Weekend chuckle.

First Energy commits to a fleet of Lordstown Motors electric pickups - Roadshow

First laugh line is this howler:

The Endurance EV pickup will be ready for deliveries as early as this November

Quickly followed by a drawing of said pickup with the line, "The Endurance EV pickup should look something like this."

ROFLMAO!!!

I have a bridge I think I could sell these guys!

Perhaps they mean the first deliveries to the factory.

I got mine this morning!

Arguably it is the job of the Fed to counter adverse supply and demand shocks that might hurt the U.S. economy - which the coronavirus certainly has the capability to do.

So while Trump's motivation is to get reelected, he's right that the Fed should act - which the Fed today signalled that they are willing to do, via rate cuts.

This is a tiny problem for Tesla, and a massive problem for all of their competitors. Time will show this virus was a huge positive for Tesla.

But cuu

Wow, who thought we would be up after hours compared to yesterday's close.

You mean this or more?
