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

Zach Shahan talks auto-pilot:
Concern About Tesla Autopilot Is Sort Of Like Concern About Seatbelts

Gotta love: At the end of 2020, I think no one needs proof of the fact that logical thought and common sense are in much shorter supply than we’d like.

As I'm sure @Krugerrand will appreciate, he complete ignores the demand problem.

Thanks for the information and thoughts. I just wanted to chime in that Emmet Peppers went with Jan '21 Calls to provide some optionality in terms of collecting profits in 2020 or 2021.

For those that haven't seen it:

As a follow up to discussions in late July, what's your current take on S&P 500 inclusion for TSLA? How are you playing it and how do you expect the share price to respond going forward?

On the energy storage battery market, we are having a few days of very good wind and solar generation in some Australian states.

Many Wind and Solar generators are curtailed, and the wholesale price is significantly negative.

The market opportunity for energy storage batteries is great, and will increase as more RE is deployed.

Crank up those Roadrunner lines, this is a demand problem....

Weekend OT: Second Tesla TV sighting! One of the probable bad guys was driving a gorgeous blue 100D model S on NCIS LA tonight! The more the merrier!

Check out that numerology. Damn, someone here must've been the ebay buyer, bidding it up.

It was fixed price.

Dividends, Share Buy-backs and stock splits did not occur with Apple with Steve Jobs as CEO, only after his death. Tim Cook did wonders for the AAPL price, for innovation....not so much.

Incorrect - Apple did stock splits and paid dividends under Steve Jobs, even when the company was relatively young and growing like crazy.

Different times. Then, paying a dividend meant you were a real company, profitable and deserving of respect from Wall St. types. Money well spent in terms of getting a good credit rating.

Note: Owned some AAPL back in those days, my second stock. Also owned an Apple computer.

From what I can see there was no dividend in the last years when Steve Jobs was CEO.

From the link below it does not looks like they did it the last 30 years.

The week is off to a $600.03 start thus far in Europe in the opening minutes.

Go Tesla!

FWIW
A post on /r/teslainvestorsclub. Looking at SP data around inclusion.
Going by AMZB, FB, BRK, PYL, GOOG, TWTR, CRM, Yahoo, SP drop after inclusion is not usual, seemingly.

(I am not the OP for the Post on reddit)

Is a 25M dept of a joint venture to buy a commercial private medical center something that would prevent sleeping at night :X

I'd sleep like a baby....at some point the old "too big to fail" must kick in and then it's the bank that sleeps badly...

Rolling over one of my previous employers 401k into an IRA this week. Gives me a little bit of money to freely invest. Nothing huge but this one particular roll over nets me about 300k. Torn between going TSLA, MMEDF and Trulieve. Of course I can split the investments but these are the three I am most interested in right now.

For any further questions on this subject please use this thread: What other tech stock to consider?

 

[bkp_duke]

I hope you also have a Tesla or two to show off, all powered by the sun as well?

I've found that letting prospects have some time behind the wheel can be quite eye-opening for the unknowing

See sig.

About 20% of the neighbors already drive Teslas, that number was 2% when we moved here 4 years ago. (and yes, that's due in no small part to my evangelism of the brand)

Something has to be done about shorts putting out fake reports:-

https://www.smh.com.au/business/mar...alian-investors-billions-20201204-p56ksl.html

At a minimum brokers should inform customers that this can be an issue and not to take published reports from shorts at face value, balance the report against the company response.

Ah, I just paid for an annual membership on TMC with the gains from the sale of my not-even-arrived-yet Tesla Tequila (bottle).

Empty bottle sold for $1,420.69 on eBay about a week ago. 20% of gains go to PETA and now a little chunk to TMC.

Thank you for having me, it's an honor to be in such good company every day.

Thanks, that's a great reminder and prompted me to do the same. Not ordering an empty bottle, no, but paying for an annual TMC subscription as a thank-you to the site that made all these gains possible.

Apple - Dividend History regular dividends until mid 90s. two stock splits in 2000s.

now back to the TSLA...

 

[Artful Dodger]

Here's how:
- On a PC (not cell phone. Not sure about iPAD), go to TSLA: Tesla Inc - Stock Price, Quote and News - CNBC

Yeah, CNBC is trippin' balls. Those vol numbers are no where near reality. I recommend getting your vol data directly from NASDAQ (look under the 'Data Table' button).

During the Closing Cross on Fri, Dec 4th there were 501K shares traded in the final minute (16-00), then as is usual their 'EDGAR' online data source doesn't post any per minute data after the close (while the OCP is being finalized). On Friday, EDGAR data resumed at 16-07 when 385K shares traded.

So I don't know what's going on with CNBC, but their data doesn't agree with the official and other trusted sources.

Cheers!

Gene Munster on CNBC just mentioned a flying taxi in Tesla’s future. Screen crawl is saying he calls 2500 share price in 3 yrs.

We just touched $600 in main pre-market. Will today be the day?

The day that we close above $600? My guess is no, unfortunately.
