    Moderator overplaying power to manipulate posts

    I know this will be deleted but I would encourage posters to review posts removed to snappiness section. Most do not seem, in my opinion to belong there. Although this is destined to end up there, if we don't provide feedback we get what we deserve. I am grateful for the time moderators spend on...

    NYU professor on TSLA valuation

    I find it interesting that he disclaims any investment in tesla despite his model. Perhaps he should be shorting this. As too over valued, he needs to examine the cost of an nyu education

    A cautionary warning

    Been thinking about this for a while. I run the risk of perhaps irritating some but I assure you this is not directed toward anyone In particular. Prior results are not predictors of future, that is so true. A rising market makes a lot of people look like experts. It almost really doesn't...

    Nonsense from John Petersen

    Funny but Jp does not write articles on axion anymore. Funny but sa editor favorite pick of Jp articles is the one about tesla delay of report. Remember that one and the dire predictions in that one. Clearly editors bias is against tesla

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

    First I suspect most are buy and hold. A relatively small percent of shares traded can move a stock. Second be careful of advice (yes including mine). I remember many bulls here gloating over selling tesla at all levels thinking it wouldn't go higher at levels of 40, 50 and all the way up. You...

    Nonsense from John Petersen

    He has posted so many articles of which all are out there and in error. Why does sa still let him publish under their banner. It's gotten to the point I don't read sa anymore. It reflects on their name. When will they cut him off or does it go on forever.

    Elon driving cross-country

    Or conversely leave the man alone to enjoy a trip with his young kids who would most likely like to have their dad all to themselves

    Elon driving cross-country

    I am impressed with either his courage or ignorance. Couped up in a car with 5 young kids cross country for six days. I would not have the courage to do this. After 30 minutes would predict 1. Are we there yet or 2. I have to pee. By 1 hr a verbal fight and by 3 hrs a physical fight. I love my...

    Investing in Panasonic as a side-play in Tesla

    Used to be listed on nick and ny exchange but delisted on ny. That is why the confusion. As to not investing, after seeing the vitriol about tesla I would say make up your own mind. I did like how the CEO did apologize about company performance. An American CEO would have tried to make it sound...

    Yes but they later give 2 mil share worth per hap 500 each worth total 1 billion

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

    This is replica of what happened on joining nasdaq100. Even pre market run up initial up then bottom came out with two day 19 pt loss. Today they joined msci world index. Would not be surprised with a drop tomorrow as well. Less severe since smaller run up. Posted this earlier in this thread

    Q3 2013 results - projections and expectations

    You accounted for the European cars in transit at the end of 3 qtr. but I don't believe you included the 500- 700 in transit from 2 nd qtr being delivered now

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

    I hope your correct but I remember one day after tsla joined nasdaq 100 stock started 19 pt slide. Suspect that could have been traders getting out after the run up to joining nasdaq 100. The run up was there for the msci world index but not as much so maybe not as big a drop

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

    I am hoping that is true. I don't want to think I made my money by tagging along. However if enough people believe its being done than it will trade as though it is because everyone trading believes the conversion price will not be breached. If that is true watch out for the conversion date...

    New Petition to White House Requesting Direct Tesla Sales in All States

They should be embarrassed at not even commenting on it but rather...

    Ok doubt many Syria experts here but what do you think Syrian conflict does to the price? Seems Syrians fired first volley with cyber attacks. Now I don't mind the target (new York times) but tesla does a lot over the internet. Of course increase in oil could help price and highlight our need...

    Newbie Options Trading

    Ran into an interesting conflict with my broker last evening I wanted to exercise some call options. Very deep with very little time increment in the price. It was only 25 cents. Worried that if I sold the options then bought the stock I would be exposed to a tesla type explosive rise in stock...

    Newbie Options Trading

    Have traded options for a long time and am ashamed not to know the answers to the following questions which would help me understand the volatility of the expiration date . If you close a call by purchasing the stock: 1. What price is the transaction recorded as. I e the strick price the price...

    Average tesla buyer

    I am amazed how little scrutiny goes into data on media. Cnbc story today average tesla buyer. Income over 150k and age. No real questions on where data comes from. Edmonds presents it. Problems I see 1. No one ever asked my average income. How do they collect this from dmv who doesn't have...

    Analyst Reports/Targets

    I do not have a copy of report but they went to hold not sell. Downside risk higher with the run up. I am long but also believe that it has risen too quickly. I doubt new news until end of q3 so I suspect it will drift to 140 range. I don't see this approaching 160 until Q3 report approaches.

    That is the execution on his level. You don't expect him to do more tan that.

    Tracking short interest

    Not sure they will. I believe they will not admit and only believe they picked the wrong level to short at. I believe there is also irrational hate directed toward company. I don't care since they only keep driving stock up but it is instructional to watch

    Cost to Borrow Tesla Shares for Shorting Hits 85%

    Ok data out short interest increased, not a surprise. I believe this was after gs "upgrade". 20 mil shares. Of course we also had the may 7th huge drop probably significant increase in shorts. Volume yesterday 27 million. So my question....what happened to squeeze. Volume a lot less than any day...

    Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

    I think we all need to relax a bit. The revenue prediction is crazy low as if only income from 4200 cars. Remember last qtr. was down larger percent than now on the earnings date. That despite elon anouncement before that they were profitable if shorts were brilliant why have they been so wrong...

    Q2 2013 Results - Expectations and Projection

    That was good move you probably either increased number of contracts with swap or took profit. I am sure you run into same issue I do. Sometimes the brokerages value your contracts at less than you can get by exercising and selling stock. Just irritating doesn't affect you ultimate profit.

    Q2 2013 Results - Expectations and Projection

    Have taken money off previously and sold some stock as well. Decided to buy deep in the money calls. Want to be aggressive but with larger than I could imagine profits didn't want to play usual options. Besides the markup too high for me. Instead I have for example bought 90 strike dec calls...

    Does anyone think TSLA will be under $200 in 3 years?

    I don't see the connection between the two stocks at all . Amzn operated on no margin and doesn't plan to for a while. They are expanding as quickly as they can. None of their services are new except for cloud. Tsla offering better car, chargers etc. they are expanding as quickly as they can...

    Q2 2013 Results - Expectations and Projection

    I don't know. This report is probably the last "huge " one. If large beat future calls will expect large beats. For now there are still enough shorts out there that can make this a huge report. Last short interest probably underestimate with prices up since then and gs drop encouraged shorts...

    What will happen when Tesla is sold to a larger company?

    I don't see sale until gen 3 on road. But i do believe he will ultimately sell. 1. Look at his record he has sold previous companies and 2. He has said his money will be the last out of the company. Making that statement means he is thinking about the end of his involvement. The only way to...

    Recent Price Increase: Good Financial Play for Tesla AND Customer?

    I find the timing of the increases very interesting. It is no accident that it was so close to earnings call. They are aware of this of course. If they didn't want to be asked about it they would have waited a week to announce it i believe it could stimulate sales with the new features the only...

Pushed it on enough to...
