Feel better!I've been in bed all day with the flu and didn't do my normal fact checking. The article on a Tesla capital raise that I read was dated March 17, 2017. Oops. Cancel the cap raise for now. Thanks to all of you for pointing this out.

Today was a day with substantial short activity (nearly 60% of trading done by shorts). Both the DOW and NASDAQ showed declines after 11am, and so shorts had assistance in pulling TSLA down in a slow descent from its high of over 347. Meanwhile, sightings of Model 3s ready for delivery are picking up substantially, which suggests this rally might find a second wind next week. We shall see.
Many of us believe that manipulations by the shorts, such as we've seen this week, can temporarily affect the SP but all those gains fought for by the shorts are typically lost when good news surfaces and the SP runs back to where it belongs.
Many thanks for the good wishes regarding my bug. The fever kicked my ass on day one, I kicked the fever on day two, and it should be smooth sailing going forward.
Conditions:
* Dow down 77 (0.%)
* NASDAQ down 19 (0.%)
* TSLA 337.89, down 1.14 (%)
* TSLA volume 5.8M shares
* Oil 57.19, up 0.59 (1.04%)
Looking at the www.shortvolume.com chart,
How do they know? Where do they get the data from? Does NASDAQ sell this data?
Someone revised their numbers from 15,000 down to 5,000 m3 for the quarter iirc. Not sure why they were revising it now since they could have done it two months ago. 5,000 still sounds pretty high.Hmm, short percentage of TSLA trading today was 61% and the media and some analysts are purposely bending the truth to set the Q4 delivery numbers up as a disappointment. I'm leaning more towards the second camp at the moment, but will keep a careful eye on the stock for a reversal.
