I use sharebuilder, but considering moving to scott trade since it's cheaper. I have an ING account though, so it's easier to move funds around in Sharebuilder.

One of my rule of thumb in investing is if you can blast a rocket into space, you can probably manage to build a car
Bad rule. See the old Soviet Union.
Whoa there! They were fugly cars but the (Ukrainian) Zaporozhets, (Russian) Zil and (East German) Trabant were über-reliable. The Trabant (let's call it Soviet Bloc) made the Time worst 50 cars of all time list in 2008, but the thing just kept going and going if you took care of it and it was pretty easy to repair. They were smelly, loud and slow but the average lifespan was 28 years....not bad for an ICE!

Elon said he was confidant to reach all numbers in the last investor meeting. Nothing changed since then.
It would take a catastrophic event to deviate the plans. Nothing so far, deliveries starts in 4 months or less.
Countdown begins

In my case it's my job of the last 25 years of employment IRA, which is a part of an overall retirement portfolio. That's been moved to a brokerage account that I use.

Lada's were junk. Most everything that came out of Yugoslavia was......That doesn't change my point about generalizing on soviet cars.

best prices for options trading. I use a combination of them and TDAmeritrade for stocks.
Building up your position one share at a time eh?

Market is up, TSLA is up. We are riding the wave with low volume, not much happening.
When is the next news comming from Tesla?
When is the next news comming from Tesla?
Next known Telsa Motors items that could move the stock:
Escalating gas prices could keep positive pressure upwards on TSLA. Also, I have reason to believe that there will soon be an announcement of a major expansion into the California EV charging market by a major player (not Tesla).
- Design Studio released (2 weeks?)
- Safety ratings released (6 weeks?)
- Deal with Daimler for complete powertrain/software finalized and announced (?)
- Production of first RC car (8 weeks?)

Any major oil crisis with sustained high gas prices would help Tesla stock most likely. I don't remember the gas lines from the 70s but I'd imagine that experience would change some people's behavior and choice of car.

Tesla is getting talked up a lot the past week in regards to gas prices rising. It would be fantastic if this chatter could sustain this price level until we get a catalyst from Tesla. I expected the price to fall back to $30, not so sure any more.

No, that's terrible. It would be much better if some wild rumor sent the stock tumbling so more of us can jump in at lower prices and then have some good news raise it back up.
But then how would I be able to gloat for staying pat? I need something to entertain myself. Just sitting on the stock might be my strategy, but it's rather dull.
