Looks like he owns 91,625. Even though that's over $16M, I sure hope they have some options lined up for him, he's THE MAN when it comes to the batteries. Probably a gift for a kid.
Better than selling 75 shares.

This confuses me. Conservation of shares and all...I have a theory....
Of the 29,618 shares traded so far, a slightly higher number were sold than bought?
Hopefully a temporary pause to catch its breath?
I don't think we will see it break 200 before earnings (unless some positive news of course), but now that the govt ordeal seems to be out of the way, I suspect we should make are way back up to the 190s? Last time we were there it was a little unwarranted, but now we've filled any possible gap with the recent pullbacks and Q3 is just around the corner.
I got the same calls at close today, around 2.10 each. What are you planing on selling them at? I'm hoping somewhere in the $3-4 range...

Didn't see this discussed here, was it? Wasn't this after the bell today? http://www.autonews.com/article/201...la-stock-gets-sell-rating-from-standard-poors
Tesla stock gets 'sell' rating from Standard & Poor's
So you guys think it will close 187 + by Friday ? That's pretty hopeful . I sold 190 puts at $5, so I'm in the same boat

Sorry. Been out of the loop and I saw it was at 4:20pm but I guess they updated with the closing price, to re-release it. Glad it sounds like it was mostly ignored. Sorry to rehash it.

FYI, there are always the same number of shares bought as sold on any given day
I was curious how much of your portfolio do you commit to Tesla? How much of your total worth? (just % estimates no need for real numbers)
I just realized over half of my net worth is invested in Tesla (it was created by Tesla in the first place though:smile:... I'm young and took a lot of risk).
But for you older guys, how much of you life stake is in Tesla??? I hear some people here say "I'm all in" - are you saying you just threw your life savings at Tesla?? All your investment dollars? Just one account?? Some play money?
I'm 25 so I'm OK resting most of my eggs with Tesla, the risk is acceptable and the potential upside... well maybe I could retire early! Just curious about the rest of yall.

All money I don't need for the near foreseeable future was in TSLA for me for a long time, but recently I've shifted some to solar stocks.
Speaking for at least one 'older guy' (over 25!). 'All In' for me would mean all my available cash that is not already invested in other things. Like JH. Most of my recent investing (last 6 months) has been in TSLA, but recently I have put new money into Solar. I know this is contrary to many opinions on TMC, but I believe solar stocks have a greater chance to double in the next 12 months than does TM.
When I say I am all in, I am literally all in, and I even threw the kitchen sink at it. It being solar of course.
When you look at all of my investments, it would be about 97% solar and 3% legacy TSLA bull call spreads and 1 share of TSLA.
The risk/reward in solar is so much better that I can't justify investing in TSLA, even though I am sure that TSLA will do well in the future. Just today I sold of the rest of my TSLA options in order to put it all in solar.
I am all in on solar, mostly CSIQ and JASO with SPWR a close second, then SOL and some JKS.
I am 20+ in the older category. I started at 3%, and now TSLA is 30%. 1/2 Leaps and stock and 1/2 DITM Nov 16 calls for earnings. I keep 1/4 in cash and I've paid 40% taxes on gains as I've gone forward. 1/2 taxable account and 1/2 IRA.
Congratulations on finding an Investment like Tesla so young, it has the potential to change your financial future.
A Caveat - My retirement and kid's education are fully funded outside Tesla. If my Tesla investment went away, I would be equally sad for the losses to my portfolio and the loss of the potential of what Tesla could be...OK, maybe a little more sad for me, but my kids would go to school and I would still retire. Good luck to you...to the 20+, 40+ and 60+...and Sleepy and solar. It's nice to invest and reap outsized rewards in something you believe will benefit us all. Rare.
I agree with your thinking on Solar and TSLA. The chances of a TSLA double in the next 12 months are less now but it may still happen. I think Solar is prime for take off but competition is high.. which ones do we pick? I like SPWR and CSIQ and then some of the Chinese ones and in that order for weighting.
You guys only hear what you want to hear.
Yes, I said TSLA is going to $1000, but I also said that it might take 5 years, or it might take 10 years. I am confident it will get there. A 5 bagger in 5 years is a great investment.
I have also been saying that solar stocks may be 5 baggers by next year. Not sure that it will happen but there is a small, albeit realistic, chance that it will happen by the end of 2014.
I think I will go with the 5-bagger in 1 year vs. 5 years. If you have been reading my posts for the past 4 months then you would know that I am more bullish on solar than TSLA.
