    What other tech stock to consider?

    Say it with me three times: Tesla is not just a car company. Tesla is not just a car company. Tesla is not just a car company.

    GME and AMC stock action (out of main)

    Soooo... I agree that's it's great that the shorty hedgefund(s) get squeezed like this, and the malarky yesterday with Robinhood and others (in fact it was the clearing house Apex that put in restrictions?) uncovers deeply unfairness in how the public markets operate. But I don't think many of...

    GME and AMC stock action (out of main)

    Exactly. They know they'll have buyers - there are people desperate for the stock or so I've heard. Then they'll have a few billion in cash reserves which in and of itself makes the company that much more valuable. Which they then can put to good use, after all they are a well managed company...

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

    We've been talking about being either production- or demand constrained since 2013. Except for perhaps a few short glitches Tesla have been production constrained. That's a good problem to have.

    I'm at work so better not be. It's all good though, we can just check the ticker later this week to see who's analysis gets it right.

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

    At this point I agree with @Todd Burch - the AH action is a head fake and irrelevant. This stock will DEFINATELY be above $900 before this week is over. Those who invest based on fundamentals just got their case strengthened on so many fronts.

    Are you high? The only thing they're uncertain about is exactly how quickly they will double, quadruple, etc. their production, how quickly their Dojo supercomputer will be commercialized, exactly when full FSD will be solved etc. That kind of uncertainty I can live with!

    Will they ever learn? I guess the whole GME/Wsb thing might actually be a good lesson. If TSLA up 700% in the last year wasn't already. With regard to ER: the after market reaction we are seeing is a very shallow phenomenon, where they (quite narroly) "missed" the "expected" earnings. But there...

    SpaceX drilling for natural gas?

    Probably a good idea to drill for their own gas. Synergy effect with the Boring Co? It's good to learn how to drill for methane here on Earth. Because it's good to know how to drill for methane on Mars if you want to be able to get back.

    A boy can dream; The people who squeezed GME to the moon take profits in an orderly fashion during trading tomorrow thus bleeding the shorts dry, then are hungry to reinvest all those gains so they come home to papa Musk and TSLA after great guidance and a few nice surprises during the ER.

    To be crass, the likely way they will "deal with it" is the way they usually do, by sheningangs that they know they can get away with. To be concrete; the market makers can halt trading, and when trading resumes suddenly there is an ample supply of shares for sale for shorts to cover, of course...

    GME and AMC stock action (out of main)

    $120. Wow it's already traded over 100 million today, which is x 5 the avg. volume (at a significantly higher price). The float is only 50 million, but with all the "fantasy shares" created by naked shorting that's not a problem. "The market makers play an important role in supplying...

    It's actually an interesting discussion what the modern interpretation of "stock manipulation" or "collusion" should be. A group of people doing joint research and coming to a joint conclusion that either the stock is under valued or that there is a potential for a stock squeeze, and then in...

    GME and AMC stock action (out of main)

    This is a very good post detailing what has happened. For someone who has been long TSLA for years all this rings very true with regard to the naked shorting, the market-maker manipulation etc. I don't know anything about the fundamentals of GME so I won't be trading it, but I'm happy to see...

    I don't know anything about Gamestop as a business, other than that I've noticed they sell a lot of dolls and stuff related to video games? Maybe that's a good business? Maybe they were under valued? But this can't be sustainable right?

    Levandowski indicted on 33 criminal charges!!

    Hmm... I wonder which item he got from Rudy's pardon menu: the "$500k I'll see what I can do and if you get get the pardon another $500k" or if he - like the rich guy he is - just went for the "$2 million up front and I'll get Trump to pardon you right away"?

    They will definitely be making batteries as well as cars in India. Tesla has the ability to extrapolate.

    This is with a 20-day SMA and 2SD +/- as the upper and lower band, right? Historically we can see that the stock price conforms nicely to those bands. What would it look life if one chose 15 or 10 day moving averages instead? I guess the upper and lower band would diverge even more, signaling...

    Regardless of semantics (as for example is "missing out on a gain in stock price" the same as "taking a loss") selling a covered call is a somewhat bearish bet, but not the same as its "mirror bet" namely buying a put. The difference of course being as you point out that when selling a call the...

    My 10-year old soon told me a (lengthy) story yesterday about a YouTube video he'd been watching about the world's most famous watermelon farm. It is a watermelon farm in minecraft. But I thought to myself I'm not sure it's the most famous one on TMC.

    YES! Some time in 2015 I read a personal anecdote about an early MSFT employee who sold some stock in the early 90s to buy a lawn mower. And now he talks about it as his "$100.000 lawn mower". That story made it "click" in my brain and I stopped trying to trade the stock.

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

    "This country has not paid the piper yet". This resonates a lot with me. And it's why I think the entire US stock market is in a bubble. But what conflicts me is that maybe Tesla is so special that it need not be dragged down by the rest when a correction comes?
