Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2013

[borat99]

Update: Here is a statement from officials at Tesla, who say the fire was caused by a crash that luckily injured no one. P

“Yesterday, a Model S collided with a large metallic object in the middle of the road, causing significant damage to the vehicle. The car’s alert system signaled a problem and instructed the driver to pull over safely, which he did. No one was injured, and the sole occupant had sufficient time to exit the vehicle safely and call the authorities. Subsequently, a fire caused by the substantial damage sustained during the collision was contained to the front of the vehicle thanks to the design and construction of the vehicle and battery pack. All indications are that the fire never entered the interior cabin of the car. It was extinguished on-site by the fire department.” P

This Is What Fiery Tesla Model S Death Looks Like (UPDATED)

No, waiting to see some stability. If this goes below $175, I'm lost.

Ah, I'm spent, the spike back up a little bit ago told me to take my money and call it good. Waiting on the purchasing of calls though.

Well some 1.5M shares have pushed it back up to $180. My trailing sell on the 195 dec put (3rd and final) triggered at $32 bringing my average to $27,4. Once I get to $27 with it riding up I'll unload the excess ones. Also the $190 november call is riding nice Guess I caught the short term bottom there. But now the question is will it hold until the end of day in ~30 min.

Dang I am good. I called the top 2 days ago and the bottom to the minute. yall should listen to me.

 

[Norse]

wow. amazing rebound, lets hope alot of shorters got in

 

[lorih]

Why did you cut my quote off? I clearly stated that the evidence was consistent with many other causes as well.

I just requoted the other quote, didn't go back to your original one. Sorry, I could have paged down a few and made my comment even longer. "selective editing" was NOT my intention...

 

[aznt1217]

LOL Kevin just made +5% in like 20 minutes.

 

[brianstorms]

Bought more at $178.50.

 

[gameon]

deep today and same way up tomorrow... it happen many times... no surprise as if someone want to buy for low and sell tomorrow with profit i.e. -12 today and +12 tomorrow (inside get million just saying)

 

[CapitalistOppressor]

Anyone else worried about the affect of the government shut down on the market in general? Personally that is what worries me more. TSLA stock will recover soon, and probably get a large bump with earnings in November, but what if government shut down throws market in general into a panic?

Lol. We have a thread for that -

So it was a battery fire, but cause by metallic debris. Probably ripped through the floor pan and caused a short. That makes me feel better.

Yep, when that spike started I knew that Tesla must have responded to the news. I immediately took all my hedges off. I had a damn good day today.

 

[aznt1217]

Bought more common shares after that statement got issued. Still some cash for options.

 

[AlMc]

You've got the right attitude. If TSLA takes off and never looks back, you've got a high quality problem on your hands.

Bought back in at $175.40 Not sure of this was wise, but we shall see.

[InTheShadows]

Well, I'm batting 25% with hitting the bottom today. 4 buys, I loved this one though, it was some weeklies, I bought 3 sets of weeklies and a set of Nov's.

Thanks CO. Hard to keep track of all the threads. I appreciate the link

 

[InTheShadows]

We'll see if it was smart tomorrow

 

[kevin99]

LOL Kevin just made +5% in like 20 minutes.

I bought two loads of Oct2 @180 when it was $180 and $177, didn't time it perfectly but it is making good gain already.

Well the other part was not pretty. I closed the hedge a little too early. Can't ask to do everything perfectly. :redface:

 

[wishing_for_S]

Wow, I had to sell 100 shares because I am buying a house and it's not worth risking losing everything. I feel like someone was messing with me.
