Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

[JRP3]

I wonder if unrest in the Middle East ought not to provide a boost for a company that makes a car which uses no oil....

1/2 million trades in the first minutes.

The more bad news for oil, the more good news for Tesla.

Looks like the over all US market is going up, which is holding up TSLA. Well, back down it goes along with the market. Not much hope for today...

The Obama administration talks up auto loan program again
09:50 AM ET · TSLA


The Obama administration is considering restarting a $25B auto loan program after it sat in a hiatus since March 2011.
Despite some very high-profile misses, the original program saw success with loans to Tesla Motors (TSLA +1.3%), Ford (F -1.6%), and Nissan (NSANY.OB).
What to watch: Any new loan requests from the Advanced Technology Vehicle Manufacturing loan program can expect some fierce resistance from the GOP-led Appropriations Committee.

wtf?

Stock market slaughter house day it feels like. All my stocks are on huge losses. Tesla is the only one holding up

Was hoping for a Tuesday tank into the 150's before closing back above 162. No luck so far, just broke 167.

You and me, both. Put in a buy limit under $160 for a few more shares, but now I'm thinking that may not happen today... Whatever, I'm still learning how to do all this stuff

I laugh as I'm sitting here rooting against my own interests so I can buy more, but it's only temporary.

Some Tesla Tuesday we are having... I also had a buy order in the $150s as well, but it is now going up and away... Might have to readjust now.

Another big volume day. 8M shares traded in the first hour. Makes manipulation of the stock difficult.

A few months ago someone here did an analysis of Tuesdays going back over several months and "Tesla Tuesday" seems more our invention than a reality.

Well, it looks like I should be re-entering by now as also what DaveT have said too, but I can't help but thinking this is one of those trap runs where it'll tank later in the day and this stock stays in the low $160s. The reason why I'm leaning towards low $160s is because the overall market is just in deep red and isn't really recovering. Couple that with a possible US military in the next few days.

Yeah, i already bit the bullet. I sold my shares at 171 yesterday and was hoping to use the money to buy more shares than i had at around 161, but missed it (thought it would go lower first...)

So i just got in again at 167. Seems like we are pretty stabile in the 160's. Not sure if it was worth it to jump in and out for 4 Dollars per share , given the low number of shares i own, but whatever. I'm such a newbie. What can you do, lol.

Yesterday seems like it did, so I was thinking today it would also. Saw this at the opening too, where it sank down briefly only to rocket upwards.

Do people sense all of sudden, most of our prolific contributors are gone, now that they are under the suspicions of intentionally manipulating the stock market?
