Try and keep up people!

This NEVER gets old!

 

[Congo Line]

Y'all bought the dip, right?

Darnit, I made the mistake of putting in a limit order at $627; shoulda just made it market. Rookie mistake.

I've been staring at that live SpaceX feed so long that the image of planet earth has burned into the bottom half of my corneas.

Are you guys on a 10 min delay or something? It is GREEN

Not delayed. On yahoo, green text means positive for the day, red background means it's on a downtick. I wanted to post a screenshot of green, but happened to catch TSLA when it was a downtick.

I might cancel Netflix. I’m spending more time watching the SP and reading this thread than watching the ‘Flix.

Sell orders at $650 down to 73k, from ~120k about 20 minutes ago.

EDIT: 62k.

 

[Bet TSLA]

Why sell assets (that may be taxable) that are appreciating at double-triple digits a year to buy something that can be financed at 2-6% interest?

Because making the most possible money is not the mission. Have you forgotten?

 

[Nocturnal]

My short shorts just arrived. It's a sign I tell ya.

If you mean the Tesla mission or your own philanthropic goals, then I'd argue that you could do more by going that route. We all have our own taste for debt and risk of course. Cheers.

 

[Tim S]

My IRA is up more than 3.7% for the day (sitting at an all-time high) while TSLA is down.

Lots of calls, huh?

Dec 31 $1000 calls are up over 100% today! Dec 31 $900 calls are up 75%. I just sold a couple of each. I won't mind losing some shares at those prices, unless of course this really is an infinity squeeze

 

[jeewee3000]

Aaaaaannd we're green.

With +$5B in the bank.

We should do that again tomorrow!

 

[lafrisbee]

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.

I think you are going to be seen as a genius.
SP $646 at 2 PM

Good call, for a rat!

Pics, or it didn’t happen (and your girlfriend wearing it please)

I have a remembrance. I got my first shares back before the 2013 epic run from 30 to 180.

I still remember the many posts from people that locked in their gains at $60, looking to buy back in on the pull back. Some of them bought back in at $90 after watching the stock run and run. Some stayed out and missed the entire run. (numbers pre-split!)

That was a 6x run in about 6 months, and it's become the #1 thing I've worried about over the intervening years (missing out on the next one of these). As best I can tell we're still in one of those epic runs, with the new trading range still not found (I make the current run, post split #s, as roughly $80 to $640, or about 8x so far). The market is still out looking for the share price that will balance buyers and sellers.


Each time we've moved from one trading range to a new one (up to the 180-280 trading range, and then up to the 280-380 trading range), I thought that this was the one that would break out and do another 6x. I was wrong each time, but the company was getting stronger, so I just saw a more tightly wound spring.

Similar story here. Took delivery of first Model S on Dec 30th 2012; delivery driver brought it on a flatbed to my house at 9pm and handed me the keyfob after signing some papers.

Sensing that Tesla was going places, I had invested in first batch of stock around $40; sold off chunks at $80, $120, and $160 then only to see it go much higher. After that experience, I resolved that if the price ever came back down again, I would buy using an 'unwise proportion' of my retirement savings and HODL onto it, accepting that if I lost it all then I would just have to work past age 65.

In part thanks to the encouragement and invaluable knowledge generously shared in this forum, looks like my retirement savings might just add another numeral today (hopefully not jinxing it now). Bonus is being able to profit off of a cause which is positive for humanity.

Cheers to all fellow TSLA long-term investors.

I've been staring at that live SpaceX feed so long that the image of planet earth has burned into the bottom half of my corneas.

Try this steam. Pretty funny/informative commentary been going on all morning + live shots of the launchpad

I knew we would get back to the pre-5B price point but didnt expect green the same day!

 

[vikings123]

What do I win for this call??

Nothing based on these early morning calls

Lot of algo selling I assume. If I were a betting man, I would bet we go green today.

Agreed, that’s just a drop in the bucket. At these prices it is what 7-8 million shares?
