Agreed, but saying you are long is sometimes necessary.
Unfortunately around here, occasionally when you write something negative about Tesla the product, you are accused of being short TSLA the stock. You only have to look at the posts above to see evidence of that.
Those of us that post that we are long are simply trying to bat down the short accusation right away.

However, lets be honest, even when you DO state you are Long TSLA, you are still accused of being a "short plant" or a mole or a troll or some other such silliness if you dare to write anything negative. Like I was.
It's so funny! There is a complete lack of knowledge of how markets work. Like this board has any effect on TSLA stock!! You've got to be kidding. It's such a stupid, self-inflated, self-important, childish, and completely ignorant view of reality.
Oh, I AM LONG TSLA STOCK! Whatever...
