Damn. Totally fell for it. Well played, Sir.
Maybe we should all do that to Mark BS when the stock starts taking off.

I thought for a while the reference to algobots was just a euphemism for skin-deep investigation analysts who only pay cursory attention to any particular stock in an attempt to play the news on a bunch of stocks, but in my searching to find an answer before asking a "dumb question" it seems that these algobots are a real thing, which explains the constant spewing forth of repetitive stories on Yahoo Finance and similar in an attempt to manipulate stock prices. I would imagine that in time the algobots would be less inclined to act on repetitive stories that don't vary their verbiage, but considering there are programs that write news stories, they could easily have something that just re-writes the same old FUD in a different way. You learn something new every day!

My suspicion about the jump up is rotation of traders out of AMZN and GOOG into TSLA for upcoming ER. IIRC, this happens often during 'ER time'
Going back to the debate about Grohman. You can dot every 'I' and cross every 't' in a contract but sometimes transitions from one culture to another do NOT go smoothly. I suspect that is what has happened here. We are all speculating and I will speculate further: This was basically a 'mom and pop' outfit. I suspect Grohman had a very personal relationship with his employees and his customers. I also suspect that much of the middle management had close ties with middle managers at their customer's companies.
Tesla does not have those relationships. They may build them over time (with employees) but it does take time. Anyone who has worked in a takeover situation knows that the employees have much angst. They knew the past and projected that int o the future. Their future dramatically changed with the Tesla acquisition. Probably for the better but they don't know that.
I suspect the recent letter from EM settled down much of the angst.

Almost certain it wasn't news. Shorts couldn't hold price down. I've been watching level II all morning and it was really clear capping at the top of the triangle that was forming on 1m. Bid side at support was very strong all morning considering the selling pressure, but around 11:45 the bids started to really grow in size and upward pressure. Algo buying started to really spike at 11:58am, and the clean break through 310 seemed to trigger a ton of stops, resulting in a flurry of covering/earlier program bars trading out.
"Typical" way of calculating max pain won't work here - best "pin" is actually between 310 and 312.5, based on "walls" of calls and puts in yesterday's OI at close. There's a wall of puts starting at 307.5-310, and going back to 300, with peaks of ~8000 on $305 and $310. Anytime someone closes a bunch of those, MM's have to readjust their delta hedge, and close out the short position they opened when they sold the puts. Same thing happens with calls, but in reverse.
I'm definitely be interested. Was considering looking into it, but decided I need to better master the data I'm already paying for before jumping in on another tool/feed. (HFTAlert's Accumulator program can be quite handy for spotting potential intraday inflection points... like just before noon today)

Shutz, no dip. I will call for more dip on Monday, and if not Monday, Tuesday. In fact I will call dip every day for eternity.
They are going through the storming phase of new team dynamics.
This is awesome. I shared this with my superior. Speaks very loudly to what our company is going thru!

Electrek says that Elon spoke about already taking a ride in the prototype Semi. I didnt realize it was that far along. Also stating that it is capable of long hauls. I have never been interested in a Semi in my life, but I find this absolutely riveting now.
