The Street getting run-over? ;-)

OK. I think the time is right. Bought Sept. $160 calls for $7.

 

[Snoopie]

low volume today. 5.4m

Gut feeling? I didn't feel too confident today. I wouldn't be surprised if the price continues to muddle in the $160s until something significant happens, but that's just my gut feeling.

21.5m shares short. about 1.8 days to cover at ave volume of 11.9m. A little less than 18% of available stock is sold short. Compared to the peak of over 32m short in the middle of March...

Nice I guessed a bit above 21m at yesterday's close.... Anyway today seemed like to me like a move to cause TSLA to technically break down. Low volme, some downward pressure, but it seems to have held (at least for now)... I really want to see some buyer strength return in next week or so though or else algos. might start hammering the price down until it goes below stop losses causing a big cascade.

Even though right now Tesla is doing incredibly well.. we pretty much know the demand is building exponentially in Europe and Asia and still here in the US.. the supercharging network is expanding.. knowledge of the company continues to grow and people learn about its massive potential..etc etc. Unfortunately though the stock seems to be very NEWS driven. With no news in the immediate pipeline, I think we will see it slip lower and lower, or at least remain fairly flat. On the flip side, the quieter it is til Q3, the more likely of us having another blowout earnings. I still believe we will hit 200 by the end of this year.

What is the deal Elon been busy with SpaceX? I saw someone talking about it but didn't have the time to look further. A link will be appreciated.

SpaceX has an extremely important launch coming up at Vandenberg. It's a commercial launch of a Canadian satellite. If it goes well, SpaceX gets a lot of money and no doubt more orders for more launches. If it does not go well, it hurts SpaceX's standing in the launch business and clients may look elsewhere. Let us hope the launch goes well.

Asian demand building exponentially. This is relevant to my interest and I do not know about this. Please direct me to the source?

Opportunity to buy… when things are quiet and the share price is holding or even falling slightly. When big news hits it will rocket up again.

My thoughts precisely. A perfect opportunity to load up before earnings. Zoom Zoom ;-)

WOW…I think this will help address the bear argument about battery material shortages:

Not the first time Mr. Doerr has invested in stealthy battery startup

I dont think Elon would say 3 years to gen3 without having a plan. This shows atleast that we can get 1000 miles range in the future?

When did he say 3 years?

I've heard 5 years in a recent interview, which was pushed back from 4, but I sure haven't seen 3 years...

 

[Snoopie]

Interesting forecast article by someone who has a clue about Tesla potential....

I Remember he said 3 in a recent interview if he suddenly said 5 now, I dont like it.

G3 has been late 2016-2017 as far as I know, so that's just a bit more than 3 years.
