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

    The more traditional looking pickup to go alongside the Cybertruck & really take from the Ford F-150 Lightning reservation holders/target market.

    What other tech stock to consider?

    My average cost for both is about $30 but I didn’t know they’d run like they have. But $PENN is still under $20B market cap, is only live w/ sports betting in 3 states (10 by year end), operates 40 brick & mortar casinos so should be good for re-opening play, and is being added to S&P 500 on...

    What other tech stock to consider?

    Is anyone following the sports betting space? I’m long both $PENN & $DKNG, both of which I think have a long way to run longterm. The main thing I like about the industry is that analysts are lazy when estimating TAM, typically just pro-rating revenue to cover 45-50 states eventually legalizing...

    What other tech stock to consider?

    Also got in on PLTR Wed/Thursday after watching the Earnings replay and being mesmerized by the CEO giving his remarks while walking through a snowy trail. So much bravado that I made my first video about PLTR on my brand new YouTube Channel (don’t want to link to my own content here but channel...

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

    Audie, this is not the first time you have strongly suggested shareholders keep a tight grasp on shares. Many of us do not need convincing but I am curious based on your background and standing on TMC if you could give some more detailed perspective on how you see Tesla & TSLA in the...

    What other tech stock to consider?

    I’m not sure if this is the thread or if Roth IRA strategy deserves its own but I’m interested in how people approach Roth investing as a new contribution year is upon us. I posted a few months back how I started my Roth later than my other accounts (Nov 2018 was my first Roth contribution) so...

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

    so we are to believe that Apple wants to make a car but a few years ago when they had roughly $200B on the balance sheet they were given the opportunity to acquire Tesla and all that comes with it (the brand, the cult following, the tech, etc) for about $60B but dismissed it entirely? even if...

    No worries. Peace offering accepted on the strength of the Tesla mission and our TSLA gains...Looks like this bitcoin is going to cost me more than expected in 2021. congrats to everyone with Bitcoin exposure directly or indirectly.

    What other tech stock to consider?

    Do you charge a commission for advising me to literally do the thing I brought up myself? We’re all winning so big on this $TSLA forum yet often snark persists among us. You’re probably a great guy/gal. I probably am too.

    What other tech stock to consider?

    The premium as I type is closer to 18% and over the last few weeks it’s been roughly 14-18% when I’ve checked. I’ve also found contradictory info online so I thought I might get a better answer here. Since your math doesn’t check out but your answer was condescending I’ll start my PhD in crypto...

    What other tech stock to consider?

    Do we have a bitcoin expert? I’m looking for bitcoin exposure in my Roth using my 2021 contribution. Is the purest play $GBTC, and if so, is it the case that 1,000 shares are equal to owning 1 bitcoin? I know the math doesn’t work that way but I think the premium is essentially the custody fee...

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

    Did the WSJ interviewer just cut off the interview at the end there? Hard time stop on his end? Maybe I should have more details on whether they attempted to book Elon during a longer window & were unsuccessful but he seemed like he was in a decent mood and was giving thoughtful/forthright...

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

    Deserves its own thread IMO. Gets into how many X you think $TSLA will increase over time as well as how much $$ is “enough” and therefore, what to diversify into after that. Notably, to me at least, Audie reiterated today that he thinks we are still early in the story which may seem obvious...

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

    Men & Women, Kings & Queens - I know the stock is minting new Teslanaires every hour lately but allow me to humor you with a tale of a much smaller sum. Through boneheaded oversight - I was saving in multiple other accounts - I only opened a Roth in November 2018. Every couple years I take a...

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

    Very helpful, thanks. So the run-up from 408-ish has only been sentiment/front-runners. The 3 and 7 day windows obviously haven't opened yet, and we don't know about the ones with more flexibility, but given we are almost a month out those are probably not the ones sparking the move to this...

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

    Question for those who might have worked "behind the scenes": if Tesla is to be added to the S&P 500 on 12/21 when will the actual buying by S&P Index Funds take place? Certainly not all during market hours on that Monday 12/21, right? I have heard or seen people talk about a 3- or 7-day window...

    TMC User Twitter Handles

    As someone who has recently begun engaging with others in regard to Tesla/$TSLA and other investment topics on Twitter, I think it will be helpful if we keep a rolodex of handles here so we can add one another if we choose. Otherwise, unless you are porting over an existing social graph to...

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

    After hours question for the group: I remember a time when a bunch of TMC members joined Twitter to provide factual info against $TSLAQ nonsense. Did we ever compile a list of our Twitter handles? If so can someone please point me to it? I recently started trying to get involved in some $TSLA &...

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

    I also am giving thought to what areas/tasks he means when saying Tesla investors would be concerned if we knew the full scope of tasks he does because he is unable to find the right people to delegate to. I wouldn't assume he's talking engineering but he didn't specify. Any thoughts on that...

    TSLA Technical Analysis

    From a technical perspective, did the jump up from earnings leave a gap from about $580 to $620? I'm trying to educate myself a little more on technicals in an effort to help time new entries as I continue to add. I know there is a belief in the TA community that "gaps get filled", correct...

    Advanced TSLA Options Trading

    Thanks for the reply. Am I looking at the options chain wrong, though? - Mar '21 $570 strike looks like they are about $11,500 not $4,600.

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

    hey guys - I posted over in the options thread earlier but haven't received any responses.

    Advanced TSLA Options Trading

    hey guys/all. I've used options before but not in the context that I'm considering here and could use some advise. I want to increase my position but don't have the cash for the 300 - 500 additional shares I'd like to own/control. So I've been looking into LEAPS as stock replacement - not in...

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

    I guess they need to estimate the percentage of future sales they expect would come from repeat buyers versus new. From the perspective of someone who doesn't yet own a Tesla, I think the Model S is the best looking car out there. I imagine there are many others who would agree, BUT it doesn't...

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

    It might be an impossible task right now given how highly correlated your sentiment is to your paper loss BUT perhaps try to evaluate how you feel about Tesla and its progress in relation to its goals and the industries it competes in. If you are proud of the company and its progress then maybe...

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

    Very interesting listen. Glad this guy and his team put out that report which apparently prompted Tesla to reach out to him and offer this interview. However, when you get half an hour with Elon Musk and he says FSD is game, set, match perhaps you go off script for a follow up rather than...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    One of the factors that I've long thought would help accelerate the move to EVs is when new car buyers start to really consider the resale value of an ICE car being less than they are used to. Even though we talk about environmental impact many people need to feel it in their wallet before...

    TSLA Market Action: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Instead of writing condescending responses to any posts you feel are less than 100% supportive of everything Elon, perhaps you could share the links to the many articles/videos that only your eyes have read/watched. Because based on the articles and interviews that are available to the rest of...

    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    I think we need to be careful what we wish for with this. I like this guy Galileo's spirit and I think it was nice of Elon to take his questions on the last earnings call. But that ended up being a win for Galileo in large part because Elon was "using/employing" (can't quite find the right word...

    General Discussion: 2018 Investor Roundtable

    Today's analyst questions were not so different quality-wise from past calls. Elon is active on Twitter and has a pretty good idea of who is on Tesla's side and who is not. He could have decided to only take YouTube/Twitter/individual investor calls ahead of time rather than the way he dismissed...

    2017 Investor Roundtable:General Discussion

    It appears the highest strike price on the J20 LEAPS is 450 whereas there are higher strikes available for J19s. Is there a method to how strikes are released and is there any way to know when higher strikes will be added on the J20s? Thanks in advance.

    2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

    Thanks for the reply. I certainly don't think the "first 100" will be a shock to many (myself included), I just have a harder time putting a time frame on it. (FWIW I asked your thoughts with potential options plays in mind). As for level 4 proof-of-concept being worth $70B, that is simply...
