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

I bought a put, waiting for the MMD. Thereby I have negated whatever force controls the MMD.

Today's MMD:

Cost of the PW in Oz is around 12k AUD, this subsidy halves that...

Tesla offered to make much less per unit on a project to install integrated PWs in public housing, then a more coal-centric govt switch from that to direct subsidies.

The difference is that Tesla can now charge a tonore per unit and the wealthy will get most of the benefit. Not surprising. Good for TSLA share price, and US consumers hoping to get their hands on a PW2.

Lets move all talk about profits and the ER out of here too, so that all discussion about things that can significantly move the stock price get banned, and all that is left is meaningless crap...

Sorry, but as markets aren't open yet... On the whole subject of tariffs it's tricky - I assume they came to be in order to try to stop dumping of cheap goods, made in countries where labor is cheap, into higher-priced markets.

Take Tesla, for example. Imagine Tesla China is a separate company. Imagine they can produce a Model 3 for 50% of the cost compared to Tesla USA. Then imagine that Glovis Captain ship bringing them all to the USA and under-cutting Tesla USA's prices by 25%. OK, it's a bit of a thought-experiment, but you get the picture.

So in some cases, tariffs are justified.

What I disagree with, is the ramping-up of punitive tariffs as a mechanism to force another country to reconsider their tariffs. This is a very childish approach and has led to turmoil in the markets. Negotiation is always a better approach.

The tariffs are a form of negotiation. The Chinese haven't been dealt with for decades and scam across the globe. A little pain is good for negotiations, and everything is pointing to China feeling alot of pain right now.

So why the macro dive now?

Talking about the effects of an addition makes sense. Talking about what is required to be added is a Let Me Google That For You.

 

[Fact Checking]

Talking about what is required to be added is a Let Me Google That For You.

While that is normally true, note that in this specific case of S&P 500 addition the top 'let me google that for you' results are dangerously wrong...

T Rowe sold about 20% of their shares in Q4

T Rowe sold about 20% of their shares in Q4

Question is: which part of Q4?

I'm showing $375.22 at Tesla, Inc. (TSLA) Interactive Chart


Only 40k shares/ minute, pretty light compared to the raids of the past.

I tried that website and it indeed shows $375,XX, but at "stockcharts.com" and yahoo finance I get $358,XX.

To be honest I don't find your linked website user friendly so I might be charting incorrectly. Either way I think stockcharts.com is one of the more accurate websites so I doubt it is incorrect regarding BB on this one.

 

[anthonyj]

Question is: which part of Q4?

Probably at $377 because they are smart unlike I

So why the macro dive now?

Brownian motion.

Lots of times the stock market moves because it moves.

My bad, @Papafox's chart from yesterday agrees with you so I guess that site is misleading (or lagging).
It's crazy how fast the standard deviation is shrinking!

Friends don't let friends buy puts

January 14th Tesla registered 11,121 new M3 vins, 100% dual motors.

Model 3 VINs (@Model3VINs) on Twitter

Highest vins way above 240,000s.

Jan 11th, Tesla registered 21,308 new VINs. Wow! This explains a bit why the stock has been steadily rising.
