@beachbum77 thread (out of Market Action)
- Thread starter beachbum77
- Start date
You want to have some fun? You should read the comments to some of my articles. They go off on tangents that have NOTHING to do with the article. KInda like what we are doing right now. So back to market action.
The Fremont fire is a non-issue according to the fire department. Let's see what the press does with this.

We've pretty much went over both side of bear and bull arguments several times already.
All I am interested in any person who post here are position and timing.
You said you have both call and puts.
What are the strike, what are the prices and what are the dates.
As I understand the law, unless you have been contacted to participate already in the go-private move there is nothing stopping a large player from accumulating a position or increasing one. That would just be a smart move. Many here did just that when Musk made his tweet. Since we are now in limbo anyone should be able to take a position as they choose. As far as anyone knows right now only the Saudi PIF would be unable to increase their position IMO.
LOL... I do not even have a thread on SA!Wow one whole thread out of ignored content
And sure enough, Business Insider had the first article on the fire, not SA.
Fire erupts near the Tesla factory in Fremont, California
In other news Tesla has added hundreds of new and demo units to its website inventory for Model S and X. Here come the discounts right on schedule. It is August 2017 all over again. Let's hope this effort goes as well as last year even without Jon McNeill to lead the charge.
I’m sure in a previous lifetime you might have been a divorce lawyer recommending divorces to perspective clients.
You love Elon Musk and Tesla so much that you are practically on your hands and knees begging for the sake of Musk, Tesla and all things good in the world they get a new COO immediately.
A COO would totally turn Tesla around, fix all their problems and they will start making big time profits.
....
....
Which would burn your puts to the ground. - If you were self sacrificial and altruistic. I don’t think you would recommend an outcome that would be counter to your financial interests.
You might be the 3rd person behind Montana Skeptic and Anton Wahlman that people should run away when hearing sweet nothings whispered in their ears.
Would a COO help? Perhaps.. but I would never advise one to be appointed on the suggestion and timing of someone shorting the company.
Tesla does this on their own time and terms after a big short burn.
The latest bear vector of attack via Tesla employee departures is ridiculous. Even a janitor can’t leave the company without some story behind it.
Tesla hiring a COO right now would just let Shorts regurgitate every single Tesla problem whether they be real, exaggerated or complete lies.
Tesla just needs to work on their stated goal of GAAP profitability Q3, Q4 and then evaluate from there.

In case you have not noticed, I joined TMC last year. I noticed no one uses real names on here, so why should I?
Because you are a public figure that stands to disproportionately gain and lose from your influence here.
You can probably find the info in the forums. That’s how I found it. Sorry don’t really trust giving you this kind of info, but good luck with your mission!
I am already profitable on all of my puts and playing with "house" money. That is what none of you seem to understand. Look at the price action on Monday. Someone started buying up huge amounts of $50 Jan puts. It drove the price up to $1.65 triggering my $1.60 sell order I had placed a while back. I saw it that night and placed another order to buy them back at $1.10. Guess what? It filled today. Rinse and repeat. This is the third or fourth time we have done this just in 2018.
A profitable Tesla would be great. I could then switch over to playing with calls and puts at the same time. The buy and hold guys are pretty much treading water this year, while the options guys are cleaning up on these swings. I don't believe in shorting stocks and for good reason. Tesla shorts have been getting their butts kicked for years. But the wild swings that are so common are an options trader's paradise.
Musk is a hard person to please. So he butts heads with other managers and execs. So did Jobs. SV is a revolving door with people bouncing between companies. You hire a COO to fill a need. You do not time it for a market issue. That is Musk's problem right now. He is obsessed with issues he should be ignoring and focusing on Tesla. You read the threads I know. Deliveries are a mess right now. If Tesla does not achieve a profit in Q3 that will be the cause. That is where he should be focused now.
You have read enough to know not everyone will be able to come along in a private move. It is a waste of time and money that Tesla can ill afford right now. Those who cannot join will vote no in order to not be kicked out of future earnings. If Musk really wants to take shorts to the cleaners all he has to do is get Tesla sustainably profitable as he has promised.
LOL. Try looking at the Tesla website. After months of not listing any new cars they have now started loading the website with new cars for sale at discounts. I just found out tonite when I checked the site. August 2017 is back!
Now let's see if they can get rid of some of this damn inventory.
The Tesla site purposely makes it difficult to do nationwide searches. Keep searching!
That article would never get published.
I do not disagree. I still would like to know who is really behind it all. Is it the big shorts or some other group with an agenda?
