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

[bigsmooth125]

If one of you big money guys doesn't buy a yacht and name it "The TSLAQ" I'm going to be very disappointed.

OK, fine. I hate disappointing people.

So, is Elon now the richest person in the world?

Elon Musk dunks on Facebook and recommends Signal in wake of U.S. Capitol insurrection attempt – TechCrunch


Anyone know anything about Signal?

It's the same messenger app that Snowden recommended years ago.

I try not to put my poorly informed opinions out here against the informed that have done the research, however.....
There is speculation from different boards and threads (not on TMC) that suggest shorts are either closing positions or not opening new ones because they anticipate another split.
Thoughts?

But, but, splits mean nothing. They’re irrelevant. Nothing has changed. What a bunch of fools.

Will eventually be the richest on multiple worlds.

Holy Schnikes......

 

[DutchDriver]

[Artful Dodger]

Anybody with L2 Quotes tell us how big the sell wall is at $800? TIA

@$793-794 I think

 

[Discoducky]

790 and my 800 calls are about to be in the money was not expecting this on Monday.

My 690 calls are so in the money though!

 

[dmvevguy]

Umm I bought in heavy on calls yesterday...took a gamble and knew yesterday was just some sort of evil fake stunt. Sad for our country. I'm up big today on calls!

 

[StapleGun]

Well they were partially right at least...

 

[Krugerrand]

I assume I'm not the only one who sees these kinds of comments and whose mind tries to figure out what sort of combination of portfolio size and income size the person has.

It's about 3 months for me this morning. I should be more amazed by that than I am but Tesla has spoiled me.

Also, I had to share this.
Papa Musk is taking us to Mars. : wallstreetbets (reddit.com)

Honestly, my first thought was ‘he makes $11.175 a month?!

Second thought was $22.35 x the number of chairs in my portfolio...crap, can’t do that in my head. Why the hell can’t it be a nice round number like $20?

 

[Prunesquallor]

Holy Schnikes......

Intern got the sign wrong for the MMD.

 

[Krugerrand]

If this thing goes to $900 before the end of the month, I’m going to have to apologize to Mom. Being off by 30 days certainly doesn’t warrant the stern talking to she got.

39000 shares right now.

A 'split' per-se does not affect any legitimate short positions; it's just an accounting adjustment.

A 'share-dividend' (which is what Tesla announced in Aug 2020) is another matter altogether: it forces MMs and large Hedge Funds to cover their naked short positions (which are supposed to be closed within 2 day, but some bad actors have developed ways to extend naked short holdings indefinitely by skirting SEC reporting rules).

TL;dr I think Tesla likely monitors the accumulated naked short position, and does a 2:1 share dividend if warranted by the sum effect of the short position on the TSLA mkt cap.

Cheers!
