Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

[ShortSlaver]

Not a lot of movement, I guess everyone is waiting to hear what Elon has in store.

I'm not really sure why, either. I mean, the cat as let out of the bag last night. Today will have some finer details about it. But there's no reason to believe there is a surprise associated with this. I see no reason for the stock to jump either way but alas, Wall St. is Wall St.

With that, I'd gladly take some awesome surprise that bumps the stock up. But my enthusiasm is curbed.

Yeah. My guess is that it shoots past 110 before the day is over. I think the effect of seeing the map of all the live and soon-to-be live Supercharger stations will have a positive effect. Hopefully they'll boost charging to 120kwh as well. Also hopefully some news on Europe supercharger rollout.

Same thoughts here. And I think that it will be pretty convincing to a number of people who are sitting on the fence (and actually want to buy a Tesla Model S or X).

Is that Elon on the fiddle on the live broadcast?

Are we going to have the play by play here? Or what thread is that on?

Hey everyone, at what point does a stock split? I know this can be very variable and the reasons to split vary, but do you think TSLA will ever split their stock soon or will it ride to 300 per share without a split?

Stocks are rarely split anymore. It used to be that there was a commission savings in buying round lots of 100 shares through a market maker or floor specialist. Stocks would be split so that 100 shares were affordable for almost all investors. Nowadays with electronic trading and a single price for a trade no matter what the size, you can buy one share or thousands for the same commission price. There's no need to buy in round lots of 100. Therefore, there is little need for stock splits.

You will see splits from time to time if a company believes their stock is too easily manipulated and not liquid enough. I believe this was partially CRM's case just recently.

Was just reading Benajim Graham's classic "The Intelligent Investor" - He basically said stock splitting is a scam.
Old fashioned I know- but probably still some point to that.

What did you expect? I guess I don't see how this is a disappointing announcement.

Its not what I expected, its what the market expected with all of the hype, the potential w. such a huge cash balance, etc.
