Greed made them buy shares at 408. Fear will make them sell at 650 or whatever to lock in the profit. Supply & demand will dictate TSLA closing price on Friday. Sellers that ain't happy with that price will try their luck in the closing crosses. Anyone not liking the crosses either has bought at the top or is a TMC member. Either way, indexers will get their shares and the price might very well go up or down, depending on supply & demand at that very hour.If that is the real answer then I still don't understand greed...or closing cross
FYI, Vanguard has an Extended Market Index fund that invests in all stocks that are NOT in the S&P. As of 30 Nov 2020, the number one holding was 9.6M shares of TSLA. On Friday, those shares will be magically transferred into Vanguard’s S&P500 Index fund at the ending day price. By Vanguard’s definition, any stock now in their 500 Index Fund, cannot be in their Extended Index Fund. No need to buy/sell anything on the open market (except a few for balancing). I would imagine that almost every large ETF or Mutual fund family has a similar situation. Unfortunately, this may reduce net buying significantly.
This is only if you are a perma bull on the stock. No one ever lost money when their shares are called away, just like no one lost money by booking profit. Losing potential gains is only an argument against stock manipulation.
So if all the 12/18 and 12/24 call buyers are screwed. Would the 12/24 and 12/31 put buyers be as well?
Great post!So, I've been given some extra thought on recent news of solid state batteries, Tesla's structural batteries and everything that goes on, here is a note I came up with that I thought I'd share with the community.
Cybertruck's structural battery is just the first step.
We know that CT is incorporating a structural approach for batteries where the 4680 batteries just become a part of the structural integrity. I think this is just the first step. Where this design is going to shine is for Tesla Semi program.
I've always thought about why isn't Tesla incorporating their Semi's battery system into the trailer itself. And trailer can always be charging while being loaded/unloaded, providing minimal down time for the semi as they wait to be charged. And the answer has always come down to the fact that if we make the trailer too heavy, the possible load decreases, making it more expensive to run. But the trailer+truck itself is 35,000lbs worth of steel with a max. loaded weight at 80,000lbs. If Tesla can integrate batteries into forming the trailer bed itself, it could potentially create a trailer bed weighting not a whole lot more than 35,000lbs while retaining the same structural integrity to bear the 53,000lbs worth of load on top. This is further confirmed by Elon's comments on how he thinks about airplane design where the oil tank itself is just part of the structural integrity of the fuselage; allowing max amount of fuel loaded onto the plane while not planning for an extra part for fuel.
Solid state batteries are missing the point.
This week, we had news from Toyota that they plan to introduce an EV with solid-state batteries that's able to charge in 10min while providing decent amount of range. Similar approaches are shown by comments from QS technologies. But I think they are missing the point and put too much emphasis on EV and from a wrong POV. Tesla's battery formula program goes onto separating into 3 (or perhaps more) different type of formula depending on the need of each type of vehicle. This is not just for EV, but also the other battery programs that Tesla is currently running, namely the megapack designed for grid infrastructures. First on EV... Toyota and the others are still using the same mentality of ICE vehicles where people are used to "fill up" when they actually go into a gas station. However, as many of us with a Tesla or other EV knows, that's not the way we use EV. We charge at home when it's low and go out in the morning with a "full tank". And in long road trips or where the battery doesn't provide enough for us to get from point A to B, we charge just enough for us to get to the next charging point. This is similar to how we use cellphones. Even though we charge fully at night, if we know that given our usage, it's not going to last the day, we'd charge whenever there's a chance... just enough for us to keep going until we can fully charge it again. So, by focusing too much on charging speed, they actually forget that yes, fast charging is nice, but really what we need is many quick short burst of charges that can get us to the next point of charging. So, the need for extremely fast charging is not actually necessary. The focus should still be on the motor efficiency and longevity of the battery, which I think Tesla is right on track. Furthermore, it's always about economy of scale. The easier and more cost-efficient the manufacturing can be, whether it's the battery itself or the car as a whole, is what going to make a difference between becoming a giant in EV vs. a niche player.
We can only hope.Yeah Duffer, the mental monopoly of "design all cars to consume repair parts" may finally be as obsolete as ICE.
You can have everything but the camera, sorry.I want a camera, joystick and First person Shooter Game Software.
Kinda like whenever Gordo speaks and says "The competition is coming....' in like 'NEVER!'Weird week so far.
Like a weatherman saying: there is going to be a blizzard!
And you look outside and... nothing.
But still, you wonder...
what is coming?
and when?
You want to know who is The God of Wall Street?
Find the guy that got to decide Closing Cross would be $622.
That's not the house. That's the landlord. The house participate in gambling in which the winning odds are in their favor. The landlord collects money no matter what you do.The house is ALWAYS the house. They get their guaranteed cut whether you are writing the contracts or buying them. The individual is ALWAYS the gambler.
TSLA Mkt Cap at the Close on Tue, Dec 8 - "..." on Nov 16I'm curious how you arrived at this number, could you kindly elaborate?
You can have everything but the camera, sorry.
When I feel like selling before the stock drops, I turn around and ask my accountant how much tax I would pay, every time I turn back and push the HODL button really hard.I'm HODLing.
The news feed is telling me there will be a drop in the share price post inclusion (implying now is the price to sell at).
The volumes and share price don't make sense to me (again, trying to convince me to sell).
The FUD has increased significantly in the last week or so...
When I think I am being manipulated I take a step back and look at the situation.
I'm HODLing.
- The Tesla fundamentals are great.
- The Tesla Secret Master Plan is being executed almost flawlessly.
- There is no safer investment out there
- There is no better investment in our collective futures.
- I have no need to sell anything
Sounds like you were a put seller, not a put buyer.Depends on the put buyers I suppose. I was one for a limited time, and I very much enjoyed the process. Oh look, some cash at the risk of, *gasp* buying more TSLA. Whatever will I do with that?
Hahah, just sad that I don't have enough for a covered put any more. Will try to work back towards that next year.
