Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

[Drax7]

Between Einv P&L guess estimate and esk8mw order rate, it appears we should have an exceptional
Quarter.

I was actually impressed how at the end he specifically pointed out that the interviewer was trying to lead him down an ad hominem attack on Musk and how he refused to go that way (after talking about how proponents of EM would liken him to Steve Jobs).

Same - he scored some points in my book there.

$190 coming...

Still no news? Really?

Only thing I see is NVDA and MBLY up by similar amounts.

 

[Quesder]

We've already covered why it's shooting up. You're welcome, by the way.

I hope you bought back at 182.x . Did you?

I would add a common definition of Wisdom: the proper use of intelligence. A sign of it: what I've most admired in people, how quickly they can change their minds once new evidence requires it. A lot of these contribute to this thread.

Anyone using 'proper', 'appropriate', 'nice' or 'tremendous' when trying to define or describe something does not know what they are talking about or is a politician.

...but you repeat yourself....

I looked out my window and noticed that the "uncertaincy" was starting to disappear.

Sorry, man. That sucks

Run up today can only mean they have the votes and some are realizing it earlier than others.

Considering the heavy criticism of the Solar City deal, shouldn't the stock price drop if the chance of the deal going through increases?

I think there are plenty of people on both sides of that arguement. Just the ones who want it buying in is enough.

What interview are you all talking about?

 

[Intl Professor]

...but you repeat yourself....

Could also be a philosopher, if you know anything about Kant's categorical imperative.

That be my guess too.

I think we'll still head lower after this is realized just like all the good news in the past has been preceded by more downward trend.

 

[GoTslaGo]

What interview are you all talking about?

This one:

Chanos: Tesla-SolarCity Combination Is Absurd, Ridiculous

Almost everything he says is wrong! He thinks Tesla is a car company?! He thinks Tesla loses money?! He will be surprised in 2-3 years.

Anyone else receive letters in the mail from Tesla via some third party wherein they state how desperately they have been trying to reach you and would you please call immediately so you can vote by phone re the SCTY deal?

 

[Tenable]

Just speculation of course. But given most of the downward pressure has been a result of investor distaste for this merger would it not be more likely the share price spikes on someone having information the merger falls through?

I'm on a flight about to take off and sadly I've only hedged for a post merger dip and I own a ton of SCTY leaps and shares along with my tsla stock. A merger fail will hit me pretty hard. Yet, this theory seems more plausible to me. Again assuming this spike happens on the basis of someone knowing something.

Nope been using something call email for all communications.

 

[Jayjs20]

Sorry, man. That sucks

It's fine, everything's fine. It's not the selling part that loses me money. It's when I buy back in.

Just stay calm and wait for December rate hike.

 

[EinSV]

Solid work. We need more of this! One question, I am not immediately seeing interest expense/income in your overview.

Thanks!

Re interest -- I did not see a reason there would be a significant change from Q3 to Q4 for interest expense (especially interest paid in cash) or interest income. Both were nearly identical from Q2 to Q3. If you think there is a reason for a significant difference positive or negative please feel free to weigh in.
