Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

[johnnydop]

Does anyone think the share price will dive after the Q2 earnings numbers?

Q2 will not be as good as Q1 was, and we are expecting a quarterly loss, less revenue from credits, no benefit of warrant reversals, etc. The market seems to be short sighted, I'm thinking after the announcement next quarter, we'll see a sharp drop in share price and a buying opportunity. Same logic applies to Q3 where they are again predicting a loss.

What do you all think?

Its also possible that they report great numbers because of better than expected sales triggered by one or both of the remaining announcements. These announcements could be the catalyst that tips the scale for those on the fence of buying one. I think range anxiety is the biggest reason preventing someone from buying one and a very aggressive supercharger announcement or a metal-air range extending battery would put that problem to bed once and for all.

What a boring day, i was getting used to movements of at least 5% :wink:

Currently the share price is up 2.5% for the day. Over a course of 250 trading days in a year that would result in a multiple of 480 (not a percentage, but a multiple) and a per share value of over $40,000.

I'm ok with a TSLA value of $40,000 per share

But where will I park my 32 million Model S's??

Cut it down to 8 million Model S's, and park them by your mansion. Purely first world problems

Or build a second mansion (staffed, of course), with an in-house Tesla service center and Supercharger bays, to house the Model S's.

:wink:

Extremely happy with todays movement.
15 million volume. 2% change. I can be very happy if we settle around here.

But then again Elon will tweet his pillars and will move the world.

Yahoo Finance reports a big drop in after-hours trading, is anything up with this or is it just ranomness due to low volume?

I'm starting to lose sleep over this stock, so I'm seriously considering to sell just for the sake of my sanity. That or install a filter in the web browser to block any piece news of Tesla.

Yup down 3% after hours

Looks like an offering is in the wind...

The AH traders are eating it up...Up over $3 right now to 87.94. All in anticipations, perhaps?

Doesn't make any sense, usually issuing additional shares results in dilution.
Could be a reaction from the shorts, they are shorting additional shares in after hours trading...

 

[GasDoc]

Noob question here...

So he stock is up almost $5 right now in AH, ostensibly because Tesla filed paperwork to sell more stock.

Is the stock up because the news that Tesla will have a bigger war chest of cash is seen as a positive that outweighs the downside that this will cause some dilution of the existing shares?

Depends who's buying the shares. If its am outside company investing...


Edit. Nevermind

 

[Enadler]

it appears there is some type of hedge which precludes dilution.

 

[Don Shin]

Looks like it will be an offering of 2,703,027 shares, and Elon Musk will invest $100 million of his own money to purchase shares himself.
