Short-Term TSLA Price Movements - 2016

[dreamingof3]

Well, here is what they say on Stocktwits:
Tesla moves lower after Citron calls for stock to fall to $100 TSLA - The Fly

I HATE Citron. They always build a position then announce some crazy number. Citron HAS been and will continue to be short Tesla stock.

So Citron is now defending their previously silent short on Tesla. When is a big buyer going to teach these guys a lesson.

Citron shorting $TSLA Supply AND demand problems should take down to $100 by years end. News flow all around does not look good for stock

I'd be willing to bet money Andrew Left is behind the persona Montana Skeptic. BTW-he is a 24/7 basher of Tesla but behind aliases. Seeking alpha and yahoo message boards are their main playgrounds of mudslinging and FUD spreading.

They hit on a couple scam companies in China(like I would invest over there anyways) so people seem to trust them.

As the skeptics tell us bulls, past performance is not an indication of future. It annoys me that he claims there is a demand issue when that's just straight up false.

If tesla had model X production truly ramping up , I would buy more with impunity .

I hate to say this, but EM himself's tweets also moved share price quite a bit in the past. There's not much difference here in terms of legal issues.

Their recent high profile short on MBLY was pretty successful too, 50% off since they declared it to the bottom so far. Not sure when or if they covered though.

Here is their report from 2013. They listed some legitimate concerns, but greatly exaggerated the risk in them http://www.citronresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/tsla-final.pdf

Tesla as a company is fine and honestly there are no more miracles required to get to Model 3, but the stock could be turbulent short term, given Citron's recent success on calling out Valeant (which I agree is a very questionable business model). Oh well, hold steady until March 31 - we'll see about "news flow" then

Sidenote: TSLA has been under pressure from sellers earlier today on relatively light volume despite the general rally in the market. Very plausible that it was Citron, and since they tweeted it publicly now they're probably done shorting or close to.

Does not look to me like this bear attack is going to stick. At the current rate, we´ll be in the green by market close. Actually, I think this bullish - a big player obviously starting an attack and failing. Maybe it doesn´t work any more because many weak longs have left recently.

When life gives you lemons, squeeze them to make delicious short lemonade.

 

[pGo]

I don't buy Andrew Left fud on Tesla but he is the one who's exposing Valeant's recent SEC investigations.

Why are we selling off? This stock already has taken a beating. Does the market really bow down and worship these *tards?

Do you expect the stock price to up in a straight line? There are plenty of weak longs that would take any excuse to take a profit at this level.

which is fine. He might understand one industry but totally be in the dark with another (which is what we see now).

The fact that he retweets Mark Speigel (however you spell it)'s stuff, is enough of an indicator for me.

I'd rather trap more shorts at this level. It wreaks of desperation when you have to advertise your short. Why can't the results just speak for themselves

 

[Papafox]

As with many short attacks, they attempt to leverage any perceived negative news into something quite out of proportion. In this case, I think they are working from weakness regarding estimated Model X deliveries, using it as excuse enough to go on the attack, and in the process they throw in everything including the kitchen sink.

I noticed the CItron army has quite an allegiance on yahoo and Seeking Alpha. Read that junk at your own risk
