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

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.

Your times are hurting my brain.

That's how cats eat them.

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.

 

[Sancho]

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.

It's a good thing you're here Paul, to let us all know how it is.

And now it goes above $630. Apparently some sellers arose this morning out of concern that the follow-on share offerings will put a damper on the price that S&P 500 related funds will have to pay. Actually, the $5-billion offering is significantly less than what the funds will need to buy the necessary number of TSLA shares. Then after seeing the share price hit today's mid/late-morning bottom and begin to rise, alert buyers appear to have realized that the negative reaction to the offering dissipated rather quickly.

 

[mejojo]

Y'all bought the dip, right?

 

[Oveeus]

In light of the new stock offering, I just added about 1% of my holding (share quantities) to my portfolio. And it’s already up by a few hundred bucks.

 

[adiggs]

For approximately once in my life, I can say that I did!

Then again, the earlier falling knives have worked out well for me as well
