2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

[ev-enthusiast]

Quite a tempting situation for technical traders to expect some more downside, just sayin.

 

[Gerardf]

Is it possible that the 1.5M block pre-market was for someone positioning to use these to sell short later in the day ?

 

[mongo]

Bought 1 share with balance on one account this morning, and just picked up another with balance on another... Really hoping third account doesn't provide the same opportunity...

 

[austinEV]

Sigh. Did not see this coming. Far too late to sell. Just holding. In J19 leaps so this will pass.

I am loading the truck here at $326-327. Will bet the farm later if it goes below $300 before earnings, will go all in at penny stock

 

[Muaddid]

Damn 325 haven't seen that in a while... buy the dip or we go down more ? hmmm

Well, 325 should be a pretty good buy come spring time....

 

[SwTslaGrl]

I added two shares at 324.80

 

[esk8mw]

Bought J19 calls when stock was @325. Might be premature but I'm ready to add more if we have continuation lower. I'll go deep into margin if we hit 300.

Added 2 shares at $327, wish I had more cash

 

[D-egg-O]

We are below 330. I bought.

 

[bdy0627]

This confirmed head and shoulders pattern certainly will attract bears but this stock is not going to be moving up soon due to technicals. It's going to go up regardless of technicals. This is all very short term stuff. I almost can't believe how good the price is to add/leverage this close to mass producing the Model 3. Does anyone here really think TSLA will be trading at less than $400 in 6 months?

 

[JRP3]

One this becomes penny stock near xmas, will bet the farm and make myself 51% holder. Will appoint myself new CEO, forces Ewon to abandon spaceX, boring, and hyperloop, to focus on Tesla only. Will hire Tim Cook as COO. And ride the stock to $1,000 by 2019

I had my suspicions for a while but Keef Wivanef exposed himself once again. Can only contain the madness for so long.

Wow. I thought I was the only one who thought that. As soon as I saw "Ewon" I clicked Ignore.

Edit: I wonder if he uses "E**n" to track himself, like the way WordPress comment spammers intentionally misspell words to help their tracking. It would lend some credence that he, and others, are paid trolls.

We are below 330. I bought.

Not the $310 I was hoping for but I bought a few more TSLA. Unloaded some other positions so if it continues to drop I will buy more.

That's where I'm at as well. Trying not to sell too many other positions to fund more TSLA LEAPs though. I find it very easy to end up with too much allocated to TSLA, and it's difficult to correct.

Not really. In order for someone to position themselves to use shares to sell them for shorting, they need to **borrow** shares. The 1.5M shares pre-market was buy/sell transaction

I’ve been burned a few times in the past buying leaps when everyone here was so sure TSLA would be at a certain level at the end of the year.

Be very careful with J18’s. End of the year is very tricky. A couple of times my leaps expired worthless in January, just a week before a big run-up started.

 

[CarlitoDoc]

I call 290-300 then it's up again. (I called the last 180ish dip )

Thanks for the warning. I'm out of J18s, as we are just getting too close to those expiring. But, I am buying some April and June calls. I'm mostly in J19 $300s along with some J19 $400s. I've shifted completely out of stock now.
