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

    I agree short term movements are unpredictable, but that doesn't mean it's not worth reacting. Perhaps some piece of news hits tomorrow like a new SEC investigation and FUD associated with that causes a large drop in the share price. The timing of this event and the reaction to it would be...

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

    I'm a long term believer in Tesla and would very much like to simply buy and hold for years, but I also recognize that Tesla is an exceptionally volatile stock due to a lot of extrinsic factors including politics, short selling, exuberance etc. That's going to make it a much wilder ride - up and...

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

    I think it's because the circuit breakers aren't in effect in the last 15 min of the day (not certain of this). If you trigger a >10% drop earlier in the day then trading stops and people chill. Whereas if you trigger it at 3:45 then people have unlimited ability to panic for those 15 min, plus...

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

    Sold 1/5 of my shares here ($542), after selling my first 1/5 at $420. Collectively that moves TSLA from about 95% of my portfolio down to 60%. I'm very bullish long term but this price is getting high so it seems prudent to step back to a level where I'm more comfortable riding out the peaks...

    I'm starting to get worried/FOMO about the $470 covered call I sold for this Friday. Figured a 6% weekly gain ($443 -> $470) was safe. Pretty remarkable that just a week ago this stock was at $405.

    I think Tesla is lined up for ~550k for 2020. I think the Y will cannibolize the 3 at Fremont, so we'll see roughly: Fremont: S & X: 60k M3: 230k MY: 140k TOTAL: 440k Shanghai M3: 120k GRAND TOTAL: 550k

    The design isn't weird just to be weird, but rather a case of form follows function. The cybertruck offers a lot of great functionality that traditional pickups don't and would sell in F150 numbers if the aesthetics weren't so polarizing. I can tolerate it, except that I wouldn't want to be...

    I don't see the 146k reservation tally as that great. For context, the Model 3 was at 276k pre-orders after 2 days. The Cybertruck isn't quite at 2 days yet but is at 146k through 1.7 days, so it likely to be around 160k at that point. So it's on track for about 60% as many reservations despite...
