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

[M|S|M MYP]

Friend from vegas who is all in on $TSLA after i recommended him to buy at $700 texted me today. He ran into a dad that used to coach his son's baseball team with him (Ironically, he is a financial advisor ) Told him that he put all his eggs in $TSLA at $700 and the dude said "Congrats, now take those gains and put it in something stable for your future" I told him, "Next time you see him, tell him to take his fiduciary responsibility and stick it where the sun don't shine!!"

My advice... buy a Model Y now (especially if you are currently driving an ICE). It will be a while before you can test drive a Cybertruck. The Y will hold its value better than just about any car. It will be the best car you've ever owned. You will save a ton on gas. You can always trade it in for a Cybertruck when they are available.

I did exactly this. I have been holding Tesla since 2011/12, just took delivery of my Y (first Tesla, but not first EV) a few weeks ago which I intend to trade in when my Cybertruck is ready in 1-2yrs.

Those blue bars, esp. VW, BMW and Volvo anger me....

edit: especially now that we know "hybridgate" is going on.

PHEV should NOT be on this list of “EV” imho.

 

[Big Time]

It’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for!!

SPANK

PHEV should NOT be on this list of “EV” imho.

Many years from now, perhaps even more than ICE engines, I think folks will be like "Wait, they still tried to put gasoline into electric cars?, why?"

Sounds like a petrol-powered cell phone...

So antsy; too funny.

This is me still doing nothing and making a mint, all before I even put my pants on to greet the day.

We all need to work on some inner peace.

You put your pants on?

It's not that they shouldn't be on, it's that it should be labeled as PEV instead of EV.

 

[Krugerrand]

I do. Maybe one day I’ll hire someone to do it for me. Seems a waste as long as I’m able-bodied. But I’m open to adjusting my lifestyle.

Today TSLA reached within $0.01 / share of me reaching a double 'naire. WTF can't believe this actually happened in 2020.

Only that isn't what he said. He said getting the price per kWh down to 50-60 cents at the cell level. Not that cells would be 50-60 cents each. He misspoke. He meant $50-60 at the cell level.

Just put on a depend adult diaper and call it a day...that is what i intend on doing when i retire

Volume is anemic and we are still rising. I do wonder what will happen when there is actual volume associated with inclusion.

Another poster earlier on mentioned these funds buying call options. In effect, that would only push the run up earlier (aka now) since there would have to be delta hedging on those options?

 

[capster]

One of you guys that knows how this works...WTF is happening?
Is this going to be the loooooooooooooooooooooooooongest squeeze in history?

Things are a tad squeezy...

... yet, MM’s can magic arbitrary amounts of fake shares out of thin air..

... but, at some point they must buy them back.

IMHO, the MM’s are trying and will likely be able to avoid a huge spike up. They will not and probably don’t expect to be able to hold back this freight train.

I wonder if they aren’t to a large extent just trying to minimize collateral damage from the inclusion at this point.

edit: Not that I know how this works. Not advice.
