Social Chat - Short Term TSLA Movements

[techmaven]

The amount of raw, aggressive, willful stupidity on display on Bloomberg TV in their Tesla coverage is spectacular. These "analysts" are the unchallenged masters of the art of being supremely confident, snarky, and wrong.

Did Earnings Report Show Tesla Is on Track?
Can Tesla Hit Its Magic Delivery Number?
Is Reno the Location of Tesla's $5B Gigafactory?

I am in awe.

Cory Johnson and Nathan Weiss are committed Tesla shorts. What do you expect when they discuss Tesla? They have a history of lying and distorting facts about Tesla. The fact that Bloomberg uses them to discuss Tesla tells you about Bloomberg's biases. When I say shorts, I mean they have had a long history of anti-Tesla bias, recommending to investors to short sell Tesla.

I clicked the second link just to see what sort of drivel this was and it started buffering about 30 seconds, and I didn't feel the need to wait. Wow. truly awful stuff.

Total O/T - I had a dream last night that Elon had joined TMC under the username "ElonRMusk" and just started answering all of our questions, prompting some of us to ask if he didn't have better things to be doing.

I don't know, more skill maybe? They're so blatantly wrong that the only people they can possibly fool are themselves and others like them. I mean, they should at least try to be persuasive. Dialling down their sarcasm would be a good first step.

For me, at least, seeing this stuff on TV triggers a visceral reaction that I just don't experience when I read Santos' and Petersen's posts.

If you use AdBlock or Ghostery, you may see what looks like buffering, but isn't. I use a different, extension-less browser just to see videos like this.

In fairness, you can also find occasionally good coverage on Bloomberg, mostly from Betty Liu. She tends to have better informed guests, and she lets them speak.

This is a good interview with Colin Risch from Northland Capital Markets.

Proud of myself. I managed some actual market timing properly for once:

Date		Security	Qty	Price
8/1/2014	Sell to Close	TSLA 08/01/2014 200.00 C	10	$33.00
7/31/2014	Buy to Open	TSLA 08/01/2014 200.00 C	10	$26.00
7/30/2014	Sell to Close	TSLA 08/01/2014 200.00 C	10	$29.50
7/14/2014	Buy to Open	TSLA 08/01/2014 200.00 C	10	$27.83

The easiest way to shed weight would be to install fewer, higher voltage batteries. I don't know how else you would get there.

This is how Tesla succeeds where others don't. They tackle the hard ways when the easy ways don't give useful results.

Anyone have confirmation that the production line was (is) up and running as of Monday, August 4th? I noted on the Australian thread that one member just received notification of production commencing on his
Signature S....so just curious that TM met their mark with the new line start date.

Thanks

Nice....can you fake pulling a hammy at the end of the production line and camp out and count throughput for the rest of the day. Hmmm....Hammy may not do it, you may have to slip and fall (but don't make them shut down the line - it's going to be close for year-end).

Have a great time - jealous.

Yes, not sure how much you can say or not after your tour and NDA, but perhaps you could just tell us your 'mood' afterwards with 5 being as expected and 1 being awful and 10 being better than you could have imagined.
or anything at all

+1 this please chicken

 

[Johan]

... or chicken could just tell us how he is planning to trade TSLA in the coming months (which of course could have something or nothing to do with what he observed or didn't observe during his tour). This is the trading thread after all.

I think I recall that you have been on the tour and signed the NDA. I don't want to get Chicken in trouble but can he share 'impressions'?

 

[mershaw2001]

have we heard from either of the AJ's as to their rating of TSLA following the quarterly results? I remember that their reports usually come out about 3-5 days after the quarterly call, right?

I'd like to know a hint too, LOL!

Yes, it was pretty strict language if i remember in the 90 day NDA...however, I think I still felt I could tell people if my general expectations were met or exceeded from the tour but without saying anything specific that I saw or heard there. To be honest there wasn't anything too special that I remember that people didn't already know at the time on these boards...

Thanks. OK Chickenevil, any Impressions?:biggrin:

Im telling you, Chicken is still there, at the end of the assembly line, faking an injury and counting cars. He could be there all night.
