Is this what that whole win feeling like a win is supposed to feel like? I like this feel. We should try this more often.

i wouldn't have said 300 was a possibility today, but oh man... is it close.

Its one of those things too, where if it gets closer, it will continue to set off the avalanche. The shorts are running out of ammo to hold us down, and as we get higher, more and more of them will start getting margin calls.

Now, who is this hungry buyer at 293.68?

Someone with a lot of ammo, waiting for the right signal on a stock to get in.

Anyone planning on taking (some) profits today or tomorrow and to wait for a pullback below 285?

 

[Starno]

I think this week is gonna be 3 years of frustration getting released lol

I always see this logic here, but wouldn't this effect be cancelled out by the downward pressure of more longs hitting their selling point as the price rises?

High volume. Who is buying at this high price? Is this a mothfucking short squeeze?

I don't know. Short ratio is now at 5.27. Maybe one more positive news will push above $300 and squeeze the newly shorted stocks?

Only if those longs have a selling point this low. Most of us believe TSLA still has 2x-10x gains left in it.

This is the greatest opportunity yet for shorts, Spiegel proved that TSLA is worth 0 (ZERO), and now they can short it for over $293, thats the steal of the century. I'm sure they are celebrating!

 

[WarpedOne]

My long selling price is $5000, just FYI...

short timer

I bought some May 19 $220s a while back (that is, two weeks ago) and as usual queued an order to sell half of them at double the price, then forgot about it. Should have cancelled that sell... but that's OK, I have plenty of other holdings...

Right, I'm certainly in that camp along with most of the others here. I just don't have a great feel for how representative the TMC crowd is of TSLA investors in general.

Speaking of 10x gain, my original shares from 2012 are getting very close to being 10 baggers

TSLA stock price should stay strong up through earnings. The potential for a good earnings report will continue to pressure shorts.
