2017 Investor Roundtable: TSLA Market Action

[ValueAnalyst]

Lazy Old me , I just took your $1000 2020 PT and divided by 2

Jokes aside, I am looking at 30-35% upside from last highs of 380 by end of 2017 (thats my PT).

I also don't think a Short Squeeze will occur in this time frame. Nov earnings will not be able to provide a good color of m3 ramp, so it will only be post Feb 18, when if all goes to plan - it might occur.

disclaimer. No TA, FA or crystal balls

You're funny.

I'll take higher than your price range, given the assumption and the timeline you presented.

Post this in the Bet ValueAnalyst at your own risk thread if you are so inclined.

From the Fidelity newsfeed:

Home Depot Converts 50 Rooftops to Solar Farms, Lowering its Energy Costs.

09:00 AM EDT, 08/17/2017 (MT Newswires) -- Home Depot(HD) , a home improvement specialty retailer, said Thursday that it is adding solar installations at 50 stores to expand its alternative energy portfolio, essentially creating mini solar farms out of unused rooftops.

The company said the project will cut electricity grid demand by an estimated 30% to 35% annually at each Home Depot(HD) store; the equivalent of powering 2,300 average U.S. homes for a year.

Home Depot (HD) is working with the Current, a start-up backed by General Electric(GE) on 20 solar installations at stores in New Jersey, as well as eight stores in Connecticut, Maryland and Washington, DC.

An additional 22 stores in California and New York will receive solar, of which six will utilize Tesla (TSLA) Powerpacks to store energy and dispatch additional power as needed.

"Our alternative energy projects are important elements of our sustainability and operations efforts as they reduce carbon emissions while also lowering our energy costs," said David Hawkins, vice president of labor and operations

I actually took an Uber to and from McCarran not too long ago. Actually loved the experience. You get to meet some of the most interesting people with equally interesting stories about other fares they've had. (And I tipped well.)

I took a Lyft in Chicago a few weeks back, and was terrified. My fellow passenger it seems had told him we had to hurry, and hurry he did. I would have been more at ease if it had been a Tesla as opposed to a Nissan Altima.

So recently pre-market had looked quite green and the day went nowhere quickly. Today we're red in pre, so let's see...

I generally just operate on the assumption that premarket is meaningless unless it moved >$4

I don't want to jinx it but TSLA seems to be holding up well

Carl Quintanilla on CNBC just said something about "encouraging signs about the Model 3 ramp" - but I didn't quite hear who he was quoting. It sounded like an analyst.

Can everyone please, once and for all, rate this post DISAGREE, so people can STF about me stuffing my ratings?

I'd like to move onto things that matter.

 

[ev-enthusiast]

Personally I did not like the SP going below $362. And I do not like it going below $355 either.
Thoughts?

Pretty sure you're the only one talking about it.

 

[SBenson]

uh oh, poetry, time to sell

ah, the damn poetry

stock down $8

 

[Richgoogol]

Pretty sure this mainly has to do with macro but due to TSLA's low volume lately, short is basically using the chance to escalating this fall to squeeze the weak longs who is waiting to take a profit. Those of us in the long haul have nothing to worry about

That's rich.

How about you just use the poll forum function when you want to do a poll? You know, like everyone else here.

Meh. It goes up, it goes down. It's currently just following the Nasdaq. All good.
