Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the Perpetual Investors' Roundtable

[M|S|M MYP]

Alright, fess up. Which one of you has a buy order in for 20,000 shares at $470.31? That is some serious FOMO

And you would be up $200k+ already

 

[gabeincal]

Well they are still reasonably priced...

Edit: Just converted some TSLA into 6 x Mar 19 '21 $700s. Target: 300%

For the ones who just disagreed with this:

This position is now up 50%. In less than 2 hours.

 

[M|S|M MYP]

Also no financial advisor would ever advise to only invest in 1 company.

But Tesla isn't really just '1' company....

Take it easy. You're playing with fire. (Says the guy who had about 10 margin calls since Sept.)

Thanks for the advice.
Have seen a few of my options buys bought at $100-1000 grow to $30.000 and $80.000 - and then back to 0.. I am new to margin and selling options... but have experienced how quick money can come and go.:-D

Its a rollercoaster filled with greed and despair. :-D

If I am to sell Puts, it will be $200-250 at the most (50% down). At such a low low price, which do seem like insanity to me.. I would anyhow use margin to leverage up. Might as well get paid while waiting for something that will never happen. ;-)

The tweet from Elon about the Stonecutters Guild approval makes sense now, doesn’t it?

@Causalien, I would like to hear more about your suggestion. Like @lafrisbee, I might need some more specifics on how to accomplish this, but I am definitely listening!

Sorry, I am too jacked into the financial markets that everything I say just seems obvious to me. So I do not understand when someone do not understand the specifics. Like.... which part?

the time between now and Dec. 21st is going to be consistently peppered with them. there's a lot of institutions that are going to have to play a lot of catch up.

Tesla (TSLA) starts hiring for its first full-scale battery cell factory - Electrek

It makes sense to me. Many S&P funds need to buy into TSLA between now and 12-21, and news of BRK buying a huge stake would certainly spike the stock up hard, so in order to keep the buying burden low for all of those S&P funds the SEC is hiding BRK's purchase for now.

It's a respectful decision for all of those S&P funds in my opinion.

So the SEC - and BRK - are responsible for the welfare of these other funds? Why is that?

 

[ZeApelido]

700

When?

 

[anthonyj]

When?

This year. I’m not selling a thing. Have been selling $400 puts forever and avoiding this forum. Less stress

Also no financial advisor would ever advise to only invest in 1 company.

That's what I told everybody and me before I came across TSLA

 

[MartinAustin]

BOOM $486

 

[viridi]

There was what appeared to be significant capping pre-market, especially after TSLA was driven below $450 and then tried to get back above $450. Often, there were large (especially for pre-market) sell orders put in and then pulled once the stock price fell below the desired level. Seems someone was trying to set the tone before TSLA opened. So nice to see enough volume come in to finally steamroll the game players.

T-0

We have liftoff, Mission SP-500 has cleared the tower

T+5

We have confirmation of first stage separation, going to nominal burn for second stage

T+12

We have reached Max-Q, prepare for second stage separation

T+18

Confirm second stage separation, orbital insertion was successful

MAXQ is before 1st stage separation, FYI.

Word of the day: institutional FOMO. Thanks to whoever coined it. Too lazy to look it up.

So, fun fact -- i've now made about a million more dollars from Tesla stock since the last time my financial advisor begged me to sell it (September).

It seems to me that a great many financial advisors are essentially just following a bunch of simple rules, and that they tend to not understand investing at a deep level. Some advisors, undoubtedly, are truly good. My rule of thumb is that any great, experienced advisor should be wealthy enough to retire if they choose, and they should be willing to talk about their own experience. Such an advisor should listen carefully, with an open mind, if a client explains their rationale for wanting to hold an out-sized position in TSLA. My opinion is that a good advisor might not necessarily be a "financial advisor" - they might be a respected, close friend or professional contact. We don't use a "financial advisor".

 

[Big Time]

I know I know....everyone wants me to unplug the spanking machine and do an manual override of the daily spank. I don’t know if the shorts can handle 2 in one day. I’m gonna say a hard NO to the beggars. You’ll get one tmrw, and everyday till inclusion. Don’t push it.

 

[wipster]

Still, he only has like 70% or something of his net worth in Tesla.

I on the other hand have 104% of my net worth in Tesla shares.

It's almost like Elon doesn't believe in the company.

Remember, he does own shares of a particular non-publicly traded firm, which continues to blast off on a regular basis...
