Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

[ShortSlaver]

I assume you are referring to the boatload of margin calls that shorts will be receiving after the close today. Those shorts hoping to avoid the bottleneck at the opening tomorrow, indeed must try cover their positions during the final hour today. I hope no one here plans to provide the shares that the shorts desperately need to buy today, tomorrow or Monday. A short usually has two business days to comply with a margin call, and most of those calls will be going out this evening.

Yeah this is the first round and beginning of the tsunami. I'm absolutely certain this thing will continue to climb over the next week well into the $90's is my guess. I've been all over the options board today buying and selling and laughing my way to the bank. Me shares is me gold though and sitting at my side.

I think the keyword he said was RECHARGE... which means filling up the battery from empty to full in my opinion so any swapping, or range extending engines of whatever fuel etc. don't seem to cut it right?

Here is the applicable regulation from California.


The “fast refueling capability” requirement for a
2009 and subsequentthrough 2017 model year Type III, IV, or V ZEV in
sectionsubdivision 1962(d)(5)(A) will be considered met if the Type III ZEV has the
capability to accumulate at least 95 miles of UDDS range in 10 minutes or less and the
Type IV or V ZEV has the capability to accumulate at least 190 or 285 miles,
respectively, in 15 minutes or less.

The Model S is likely considered a Type IV, though it is clear they were attempting to design to the Type V standard. Go back and look at the original promises for SuperCharging. My recollection is that the current SuperCharger specs are something like half of what was expected. There has always been speculation that the Model S started production with a crippled SuperCharging capability because the required validations had not been completed.

looks like the market trend had an impact on the days finish. we will have to wait and see what the morning brings

 

[ckessel]

The price ended up being remarkably stable today and looks like it'll end not too far off of where it started.

 

[Norbert]

Plus, tonight, many people will hear the news (Consumer Reports etc) for the first time, and submit orders for tomorrow.

 

[fjm9898]

[jeffro01]

What is going on at the end of the day? I hate to use the word "tank" but wow....

Profit taking.

Okay time to see those short interest numbers. I think it's fine. A lot of people want to close out positions before the weekend. 28mm Shares trading hands is insane for 1 day.

Weak hands were taking profits. Many may have been day traders.

 

[hershey101]

Of course the stock clears $75 when I'm not around to trade on it, and then starts dipping below. Sigh. I guess now I'll have to wait till tomorrow to make any useful trades.

 

[fjm9898]

Well i guess i made the wrong move. I sold at $72, the after that dip was going back up i bought back in at $72 only for it to end in the 68s after hours. looks like i am stuck in it for the long haul now.....

 

[jeffro01]

Weak hands were taking profits.

Gotcha, that was my hunch. My E*Trade account is showing a price of $72.20 but when I pull the quote separately it shows $69.40. Which is the right price?

This is interesting indeed. But what can we expect according to you?

That information would mean...... what exactly? (to the layman)

 

[Norbert]

Going a bit up in after hours, again...

Every new high set is there to be broken. Or do you believe Tesla has reached their peak? They are just starting.

Profit taking.

Guilty…couldn’t take it ---sold 100 @ 75 to continue my "small lot sell ladder” up the backs of the shorts:tongue: I now have my 1000 share core position after selling my 1000 speculation shares. This strategy is well on the the way to paying for my Sig….thanks shorts! I’m on the record for predicting 100 next week…it will be hard not to sell some/all of the core with an eye to buy back at 40-50 after the short squeeze (it won’t last forever) ????? What a ride (the car and the stock :love.
