Chicken, please keep posting re: AA. I have been a long time holder and COMPLETELY timed it wrong with my options. Had long term leaps that didn't materialize, that recently expired. But I have also been holding long shares since before the crash, then doubled-down afterward. On paper, I...

Thats all true (to my knowledge). Had some misused words and cut corners, but my point was about small sample sizes, not about the practicality or history of the Concord. Just thought interesting how one crash can take you from "best" to "worst", statistically speaking. But fair enough, You are...

What about the opposite?.... A thread with stories from tesla owners who have been in accidents whose cars DIDN'T catch fire. Right now I'm not worried about the car, but I am worried about the perception. To the extent that people come to these boards for information, what abouit examples...

Well, of course Tesla (or any company) would be expected to put the most positive spin on it, but assuming this is true, this could actually be a blessing in disguise in that it highlights the safety of the Tesla (warning to pull over, interior of cabin was safe, etc.). The only thing that's a...

As a LONG time holder in solar positions in general, I've been asking myself those kind of questions for a long time. It seems SO obvious to me that solar is the way to go for our energy needs. Somewhere I had this chart (couldn't find it) comparing how much energy we can get from solar vs our...

Thanks, Sleepy. Yea, I have many shares which I've been holding for a long-time. Also have Jan 14 $5C options. So a smart man would probably cash in the Sept. $5's, and if there's a run up, at least I'll benefit with my Jan. $5's. Of course, gamblin' man would let it roll. Which is what I...

Are "we" (Tesla) behind on the US Supercharger rollout?... I know the big news is Norway opening up 6, but I just checked the US, and it seems there are still "only" 20, when the map indicates there should be 27 by Summer 2013 (which is practically over). Sorry if this is belongs under a...

Just curious what people are doing with their Sept. SOL $5 calls?... The stock seems pinned at $4.80. The option moved up some, but not as much as I had hoped. I am debating selling today before the volatility completely runs out. Of course, the hope in holding it would be it would continue...

I agree with this, as well. But maybe part of the reason (aside from the big run up itself) is that for the first time since the run up, we have no near-term potential catalysts that we know about (i.e. the five part trilogy, earnings, etc.). So there's not really much to anticipate re...

Glad I could contribute. And personally, I'm scratching and clawing to come up with anything to get my Aug 150C's back in the money before expiration in 2 days! :) I had been riding the call/put wave perfectly for a while. But then had my finger on the button to sell my Aug 150C's on...

Looking like that's probably the case. If so, I totally fell for it. Just goes to show how gullible anyone can be, including some of us. Here's a link where someone attempts to debunk it: The Truth About the Tesla "Lockup" Expiration | Kid Dynamites World

So lockup expiration is tomorrow (Thurs). Does anyone know if these people are free to sell at market open, or is it at end of day (so really Friday)?... My theory (hope), is that the current sell off is because of fear of expiry, and that few insiders will actually sell at expiry and that when...

I didn't see anyone mention it here, but looks like Schaeffer (?) downgraded Tesla (link below) and evidently Barons published a negative article over the weekend (couldn't access it). Analyst Downgrades: Apple Inc. (AAPL), Tesla Motors Inc (TSLA), and J.C. Penney Company, Inc. (JCP) | Trading...

My bad - yes, Hong Kong.

I appreciate reading everyone's perspective and insight here, and usually don't have too much to contribute. I did have a few random thoughts today, though, which I thought I'd share. Not sure if this is the best thread for it, but since ultimately it relates to price movement, figure I'd drop...
