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

[Sancho]

My New Year's resolution was never again to spend hours glued to my phone watching every tick of TSLA.

that didn't last long

I think we can safely say S&P inclusion did diddly squat for volatility.

A smaller float means more volatility.

 

[Johan]

I read that Six Flags are planning on opening all their parks this season all across the US. But watching the ticker is the Covid-friendly way to ride the rollercoster from the safety and convenience of your own gaming chair.

 

[dgodfrey]

Cálmate people.
Fundamentals are still solid
Execution is on track
Future of Tesla is the brightest star in the galaxy
This too shall pass
Diamond hands beat rock, paper, and scissors

Remember Spring of 2019?
Things weren't nearly as rosy then and look what happened.

 

[Mike Smith]

There should be pretty strong support from S&P tracking active managers now that we're below the inclusion price.

I think tomorrow and till Friday we will see a similar story... Premarket drop and then MMD. I think there will be more buying opportunities later this week ...

Anyone who has an EV knows this is a meaningless comment and so full of garbage it makes me question the whole damn thing. Not to mention how many people's homes would be compatible with such power draw.

I did an upgrade on my circuit to 80amp to maximize to 48amp and a bit of future proofing but it's mostly to accommodate for a second car/charger to spilt which is going to come... Unless I can talk kids into switching the cable in the middle of the night.

 

[Christine600]

I thought I'd stopped buying TSLA but just had to pick up 14 more.

 

[Krugerrand]

Hope everyone has their puke bags in hand and butt padding stuffed in their pants.

Little known fact, rollercoasters are the only amusement ride I partake in with old, rickety, herky jerky wooden ones being my favorite.

 

[Hans5555]

To anyone with no/low cash amounts, please do not worry about "missing out". There is no major catalyst for TSLA to break out of this dip in short-term. You will have plenty of time to DCA. This could last months.

 

[henchman24]

Longer-term options are a real pain to fill right now. The bid-ask spread is wide and nobody seems to be lowering their ask. Only got one fill so far, but maybe I'm just being a cheap ass.

Don’t be so hard on yourself. You managed 7 weeks longer than most everyone here.

 

[lafrisbee]

$700 is over, I want to know what happens when we cross $400 Thursday. Do you have a plan?

I'm thinking about fleeing to the safety and security of utility and oil stocks.

My "Informative rating" of your post had a "/s" in invisible ink next to it...(just so you know I ain't that stupid)

Elon Musk no longer world’s richest person as Tesla shares fall

 

[ByeByeJohnny]

Elon Musk no longer world’s richest person as Tesla shares fall

Who cares about him? I'm down from #36,635,012 all the way to #89,785,285. Don't see anyone crying for me.

 

[lafrisbee]

Well, there’s volume today! 675 triggered immediately. Waiting for the MMD for my 655 and 645 buys...

Congrats....I got NO MONEY anywhere.... even the wife asked me if I could buy this morning.

 

[cyclingthealps]

I bought one @621
My best timing ever!

Attention shoppers: blue light special.

@Artful Dodger did we trip a short sale circuit breaker? It was very interesting to watch L2 quotes as the buy side order book was well ahead of the last transaction price for several minutes. Liquidity issue anyone?

The SEC "Uptick rule" curcuit breaker trips at -10% so today that would've been at $643.05 (we hit that at 09:40 EST and powered straight through it).

People need to understand that large Hedge Funds with Market Maker credentials have a 'work-around' for the Uptick Rule: it is SEC Regulation SHO.

Reg SHO basically allows Options Market Makers to naked short sell shares to offset any short options they sell (they don't need to even try to locate a share before selling another one short). So the abuse is that instead of naked short selling shares to drive down the price after the 'Uptrick Rule' takes effect, hedgies simply continue hammering the SP by buying short puts in great quantity.

This triggers their broker to reflexively sell the equivalent number of shares naked with the aid of the Reg. SHO exemption (helps when they are their own Market Maker too, so they never have to report a "FTD" wot?)

TL;dr There is no protection for retail investors from the SEC's "Uptick Rule".

This Lucid interview on CNBC is painful.

"I think 90 miles per hour charging at home is a game changer" - Lucid CEO

Anyone who has an EV knows this is a meaningless comment and so full of garbage it makes me question the whole damn thing. Not to mention how many people's homes would be compatible with such power draw.

I like Cramer but he's still waiting for Tesla's batteries that will make it go a million miles without charging. lol

All Tesla would have to do to beat that is release a 30-40KW home-install DC fast charger.

Given the number of people with ability to dedicate a 240V/200A circuit to their EV, they wouldn't sell a boatload, that's for sure.. so not including that parts cost with every car makes sense...
