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

[Prunesquallor]

Strange to see ARKG buying several Big Pharmas, no doubt makes sense but odd on the surface.

The only one I recognize is Roche (3%). Which ones concern you?

I do not get why all this seems funny. I never had such a FOMO since 2013.

What are you FOMOing about?

The original plan was to make enough to double my pension from age 60 or so. Since I knew nothing back then (18 months ago) I had this vague idea that when I reached a certain amount (again, thought that would be in 2028) I should diversify everything into something that gave me 10% a year with low risk and that would be that.

Of course thanks to reading every single post in this thread since then I now know better.

Well, if you ever find that low risk 10%/year investment, let us know what it is! I would put everything that's not in tangible assets or high-growth stocks into that! Because the compound return over the years would shock most people with just how good it was!

I'm just making up numbers. I've never owned another stock than Tesla. What do I know? I do seem to recall that the stock market has returned 7% average for a lot of years now though. The difference to 10% compounded becomes quite a lot of course.

I'm not sure I'm up for this compounding over a long time though. My much better plan is to do two years of compounding. 1200% this year and 1200% next year. If my math is correct that would be the same as 52 years of 10% compounding.

I'll let ya all know how that worked in a year.

Dan Ives’ Bullish Tesla Thesis - Insider Monkey
This one? Didn't see that estimate. Super high though, but here's to hoping! Stonk will go crazy even with 190k.

If I were to honestly analyze, it sounds similar to the whole MAGA thing ("Make America Great Again!").

If I were to funnily analyze, it sounds like Elon Musk forgot to switch to the "Bored Elon Musk" account on his Twitter app.

Short term, I'm getting a bit concerned with all the bullish comments by analysts. Sets us up for a typical 'sell on the news' kind of event.

Long term, of course this is meaningless.

You pick the winner and position and your advisor gets paid a percentage of your gain? There is something very wrong about this. I can't figure out why anyone would have an advisor and any buy or sell order of any amount costing more than $9 is too much.

Agree, adivsors are to be used to manage your boring income portfolio with bonds and dividend paying corps... And balance them for you.

Not concerned, just surprised (Takeda, Novartis, Roche).

If you are going to pay someone to do that for you, and you have more than a small amount to manage, it makes more sense to hire someone who charges by the hour instead of taking a percentage. There's really not much work involved and it prevents any potential conflicts of interest. Plus, the most competent managers tend to work by the hour.

If GM were a threat, Tesla could buy it, tear it apart, and sell off the spare parts.

MaxPain looks to be about $670-75, but that was Wednesday morning , right? If true then maybe this will close over $700 tomorrow. I'd be warm inside if it was over $670.

Sounds like something right out of "The Art of War" too.

Nailed what?

The upper BB is a technical indicator that always has a specific value at a specific time. In other words, it's not a prediction, it's a fact. It would be real easy to make a lot of money if one knew the share price would always end within a sliver of that days opening upper BB. But it doesn't.

Hypothetically, if a technical trader set his limit sell at the Upper BB at 9:30AM then left for the day, and similarly, if someone wrote an algo that will only short once the opening Upper BB is reached, then even though UBB does not predict the future, it could directly influence the outcome.

Since I don't trade that way and have no knowledge of algo, so I doubt that I guess correctly how we ended up today with high of the day within cents of the opening Upper BB, unless any technical trader has a good explanation.

Remind me to sell everything on October 28, 2029.

Nailed it.

The squirrel à-la-carting it at the Birds Only! table, that is.

I'll get back to here when I figure out why this is On Topic.

"A Fantastically Unusual Thing Happened": For The First Time Ever, IB Clients Are Net Short The Market | ZeroHedge

Interactive Brokers chairman on handling record volume and volatility

Here is the short version of the interview on YouTube.

At 2:30 time, tl;dr
Q: How do you feel about Robinhood and the rise of the retail traders?
A: Starting last week, IB clients are on the selling side of OTM options while carrying long position in stocks in ratio of 4 to 1 or 5 to 1 against the stock, and usually about Tesla, Amazon or Apple. Meanwhile RBH clients are long these OTM options. Hence, as of yesterday, our customers are net short the market for the first time in the company's history.
