Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

[ShortSlaver]

man i am really wishing i set up an option account sooner...

It's been like printing money, I won't lie. And that's dangerous. The hardest thing is making sure you take some profits and when re-rolling not doubling down. Even though to date that would have been a winning strategy.

Eventually it's going to catch some people though.

Staying steady at high $78's right now - impressive.

Bought my first ever stocks at the opening bell. Very exciting.

 

[Bardlebee]

I'm unsure why, but SCTY is also jump up the past two days quite a bit.

bonnie, the solution to the capital gains issue is to buy the stock in an IRA or 401K, no tax on capital gains.
Of course they get you as you withdraw the money later... But it's more money to withdraw

As far as not selling too soon, I'm in with house money from my previous profits, I can afford to be very patient.
Why not enjoy the ride I say

Yes, I understand the benefits of retirement accounts - but right now the only IRA money I can play with is from a rollover. The rest is in my employer 401k, which is more difficult. So the majority of my holding is held in a trading account. And I'm good with that, especially since the plan has always been to stay long on this stock.

I'm unsure why, but SCTY is also jump up the past two days quite a bit.

Few reasons - Musk, piggybacking on TSLA, earnings call Monday that couple catapult the stock, Tesla announcement with Supercharges next week that might include a whole lot of SCTY business.

All part of the MUSK ETF!

Not selling until we surpass APPL as retirement would be an option at that point. Not to bring them into the discussion but to point out what kind of trajectory the company/stock is on and how long to stay long :wink:

Willing to ride the waves but I feel comfortable investing in TSLA long term with their leadership; specifically Elon, GB, Franz

 

[Hache]

80$, done.

 

[RWD4FUN]

Same here.

For those that are long term, is there a number where you are willing to sell your shares? Where you think its too top heavy and you would rather sell to buy back in later to play with the houses money so to speak? I am in at 29 dollars roughly and I am wondering if I should do this or stick with a no sell policy.

I can tell you if it hits 120, I'm converting my TSLA gains into a P85+!

 

[RWD4FUN]

That will help our investment going further, thank You

 

[ShortSlaver]

So many people shorted this thing yesterday looking for quick money - they are hurting bad today.

Keep it up shorties, you're making us rich!

I wonder how many new Tesla Model S reservations will happen as there is a fan base that is suddenly far more capitalized?

BTW buying opportunity approaching...

Yeah, I'm toying with the idea of shorting it by buying some Puts.

 

[Citizen-T]

Yeah, I'm toying with the idea of shorting it by buying some Puts.

I would not want to step infront of that train.

 

[fjm9898]

volume is massive. more so then yesterday

 

[teslasguy]

Lovin' this!! My original buyin was at $15.80. Sold and re bought 3 times. Each repurchase was for at least $5 per share less than the preceding sale.

 

[ShortSlaver]

Yeah, I'm toying with the idea of shorting it by buying some Puts.

Playing with fire right now. IF their earnings call is good, which it very well could be and all signs point to it, you're in trouble. Buy puts - I wouldn't short it. I'm not even sure shares are available to short really. When it was at $26 last week there were none available.

However, their last earnings call wasn't so great and they fell from like $21 to $15 or so.

 

[ckessel]

volume is massive. more so then yesterday

Yea, I have to think the volume is enough that between yesterday and today the short volume will be pretty dramatically decreased.

The irony of using the capital of Tesla shorters to buy more Teslas makes me smile.
