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

[AudubonB]

~~~Moderators are undecided as to keeping or removing personal opinions about Mr Musk’s socioeconomic presence. However, if such comments continue, and especially if they devolve into inanities, bromides, repetitiousness or other hallmarks of maldistinction, then without hesitation all definitely will be removed from here - so best to take it to other threads outside the Investor sector ~~~

FINAL WARNING. Any more such will be deleted and poster put on time-out.

Ideally, Tesla announces 2:1 share dividend before the Market opens on Fri, Dec 11th (short that, boi). Effective date for the share distribution as of Dec 21st.

Cap raise announced before Market opens on Mon, Dec 14 for let's say, $50B (enough for all Tesla's planned Bty CapEx). Share offering closes on Fri, Dec 18 and share distribution by of Dec 24th (just in time for Index funds).

Sink da shorts. Fund da company. Fry da mind.

Cheers!

Around 17 min in this video Jordan Giesige talks confidently that Tesla is going to be increasing supercharging speeds across all vehicles soon.

Nice to see this. Looks like the continual product improvement being slipstreamed into production that we now take for granted from Tesla, and that is often missing in competitors.

I only wish they could deliver it all via software so that those of us with earlier versions could benefit.

Bought a 700 24.12 call this morning and that one has actually gained value...

My 700c DEC31'20 is -0.05%, the 720c JAN15'21 is -0.25%.

Overall the DEC is up about 0.5X so far, JAN is x7 so far.....

EDIT: Both bouncing +/- 0%

Looks like we're knock, knock, knocking on 630's door, again.
Is this some sort of Groundhog Day scenario playing out?

Apologies for the OT, but if you are tired of waiting for the official Spacex feed, here is a live view:

Tesla Plans Stock Sale, Closing Year of Soaring Gains

I find this statement hilarious:

Tesla is planning to start work on a new U.S. factory in Austin, Texas...

We’re on day 139! Have they not seen the many drone videos on YouTube?

 

[Artful Dodger]

OK. We'll be green by lunchtime or earlier.

Edit: Maybe within an hour of open?

Compliance.

Cheers!

To save F5 keys
NSF (that feed) reported a NASA high alitude observation plane has a flight plan filed from Houston to Boca Chica departing at 2:10 central, 3:10 eastern returning 90 minutes later.

Edit: @Dancing Lemur , thanks for pointing out my time zone issue.
Reference tweet: Twitter

A flight plan for a WB-57 airborne surveillance aircraft shows it could be over Boca Chica just before 3pm CST, presumably for aerial imagery of the Starship SN8 test flight.

They are too busy watching the Coolidge factory progress videos of the other disruptive EV company

Yes.

... like it was a ham'n'cheese biscuit on rye.

So let me get this right...you make a sandwich with rye bread and the contents are a ham & cheese biscuit?

And I though scrapple was the height of VA cuisine.

...departing at 2:10 central, 1:10 eastern returning 90 minutes later.

Your times are hurting my brain.

The article was published in July....

Let me clarify.

You see, there were soaring gains at the start of the year.

Then there were soaring gains in the middle of the year.

Then there were soaring gains at the end of the year.

You're confusing the second soaring gains with the third.

There are plenty of people who value not losing anything over maximizing returns. You can find them everywhere around you. It's important to realize what outliers aggressive individual investors are, if you only hang out here you may never know how rare it is to find people who are willing to risk everything they have, up to and including their entire life savings, for something with anything less than 100% chance of success.

I lost 400k on my first investment
I believed BBD had the best technology with the Cseries, had the expertise and maturity to ramp up production. My financial advisor has discouraged me to invest in TSLA because they were not profitable. He told me BBD was a sure bet. Happens they let 51% of their CSeries go to airbus when they ran out of liquidity because of the 343% tax rate imposed on their sale to Delta airline from Boeing complaining of unfair regulation. My investment collapsed -90% and I learned that even if you lose it all you can still sleep like a baby. Now that I more than recovered from that Alamo sized epic failure, I really don’t understand everybody surrounding me unable to see their original investment lose 10-15% in the short term to risk doubling it with an incredible company like Tesla. I guess we are all wired differently.

I can’t wait for a mod to step in and stop this “inequality and what poor people should do” BS.

clearly none of them posters really understand poverty.

I’ve been wrong many times before, but methinks sometime in the next hour the SP is gonna blast up and away from the $630 capping.
