    Notice that we have failed several times to get back into the orange channel, it's now all about the 200DMA... - - - Updated - - - 200DMA is $223.92 or ~$224.

    Cory Johnson: Perpetual $TSLA Cynic?

    Watch or read anything from him on tesla, then you'll see the consistent and clear effort to bash the company, even in a delusional manner such as this one. Many other Bloomberg reporters are neutral on tesla like Betty and Matt.

    Slow clap for these two guys, truly brilliant: http://video.cnbc.com/gallery/?video=3000316665&__source=yahoo%257cheadline%257cquote%257cvideo%257c&par=yahoo

    Cory Johnson: Perpetual $TSLA Cynic?

    I think this is a new low for Cory. Asked about the "D", he starts ranting and rambling about the model x trunk not opening during the launch event, not being available until 2016, and model s demand in the us declining. He's kind of tweaking out at the end of the video too. I don't know why...

    I think its time for the traditional speculative thread to commence...

    About time to unveil the D and something else

    I'm just surprised they are going to call it the Model S D85 or PD85 etc, not Model S 85 AWD or P85 AWD. Adding a D for dual motor seems strange and misses the immediate consumer recognition of an all wheel drive vehicle. You see 85 AWD on a car and you think: oh, that's an AWD version. You see...

    From the speculation thread: Here's something everyone on here has seemed to miss: the scripted D in the photo. Being that it is in the same font as the P in P85, I think it's clear that it will go in the model name (not a feature like driver assist, which I think is the something else and gets...

    We have clearly broken down under the purple channel. I think we will retest the bold orange trend line... the 200dma will also probably be there by that time.

    You can't buy another 1000 shares with the capital from selling 1000 shares.... even if after 12months, you are losing capital gains taxes and so your buying power decreases (loss of principle). Also, you arent using consistent tax percentages... Here are the numbers if using 25% tax...

    Both...? I want to reduce my exposure, increasing my available cash. I also want to take a position of higher possible return. Basically, instead of having let's say $50k in shares, I'd like to spend $10k on leaps and have the same or greater potential return since I'm confident of Tesla's...

    Long-term TSLA Investment Strategy

    Thanks, the 2 year max has been pointed out. Sounds like the best option is to roll them before expiration. Yes, I understand I can only "set it and forget it" until the expiration date. The point is that I dont want to be worrying about all the action between now and then. That's what...

    So this does exist? How does one convert shares into leaps? - - - Updated - - - I think you're mistaken. realizing gains and paying taxes is maximizing there effect, lowering the principle investment by the taxes paid.... Also, such selling and then re-buying the same assets in a short time...

    Long-term TSLA Investment Strategy

    If the stock is at or below 110, could you buy the shares outright or roll them into another leap? So it would reason to believe that the lower the strike, the safer you are from outright losing? (ie. I think its less likely it will be at 55 then 110 at that point in time) How do premiums...

    I'm in California and we can assume my tax bracket is 25% federal, 9.3% state. Yes, taxable account. I probably won't keep any significant stock, want to reduce current layout almost 100% and just put about $10k into this long term play. Yes, I'm willing to lose the $10k. I basically want...

    Thanks! So what are your options with the Leap at that time in either scenario? (stock is below $110 or above $440 in January 16, can you extend your timeline?)

    Thanks Chicken. I guess "minimal capital" is irrelevant as I have set that amount at $10,000. Yes, lowest risk, highest return is basic to all investments. Also, as I said, I am looking for a set it and forget it type of investment with a time line of about 3 years. Essentially, I don't want...

    Fellow TSLA investors: I am seeking help in my long-term TSLA investment strategy. I think my situation is similar to many others and therefore the help would be somewhat universal.

    I was using a similar channel for the last few days but found what I think is a more accurate one. The original channel, like yours, is based on the trend of the top of the channel. It leaves today's drop being in-explainable. Here is the new channel (green) that I think is a better indicator...

    Looks to me like we are forming a nice Bull Flag, as circled in purple. Also note we are getting some support at the midpoint of the green channel. Lots of good hocus-pocus... Also, I agree on the sentiment that its usually "the market". I always look at the S&P500 to first see if its just a...

    Just wanted to get a chart up with a few comments. As always, take it or leave it. Looks like this coming week will be interesting as it will either confirm or reject our breakout from the red channel, the one we've been in since the ATH. The 50dma and 80dma might provide some downwards...

    Im surprised more people haven't noticed or commented on it. This is a huge expansion for Europe. This explains the Q1 ER note on 200 new SCs by the end of the year. Anyone want to count them? Why so much more dense and seemingly important to have in general than in the US?

    Would you agree that its "look out below" if we close under the 200dma? That risk is stopping me from buying shares, and I don't play options (would probably follow you on this trade if I did).
