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

[Cape Coddess]

They aren't done working on it. Give them a week or so before we start bitching about the changes.

But if we tell them now perhaps they can incorporate it into what they are still working on. We need a place to vote. I got to say, that giant cat head with the triangle red lipstick kind of freaked me out.

thumbs up if you buying more share under $600

Bought 100 at $562 after hours.

I've been about my AAPL YTD, but in perspective, I'm still up 1,300% and yes, there were many down cycles in that run up.

On the other hand, I was late to TSLA, but still up 80% in January. Made the mistake of loading up the truck on the first dip to the high 790's. Underwater big time now. Just have to ride this one out. Hope I live long enough.

same here. I loaded them up too early around 750 per share. Wish I waited for couple more weeks to buy at lower price. But again I am invested for long term in the company and not the stock. I do not need the money in short term.

MY MY! I can read the negative aspects of the "new" forum...could someone tell me the positive ones?

I'm only seeing poor cosmetic changes that waste space and make the GUI harder to use. I use it on a computer and not mobile. Haven't noticed any new features.

Im 100% guessing, but I think its possible that the upgrade required a lot of code updates and database migrations so that they could use a major version change of the platform to run the site, but its highly likely none of the new features that are available in the new version have been flipped on as of yet. So they spent 2.5 days switching over to the new platform and then will now be able to flip some switches on features over the next couple of weeks without taking the forum down.

Oof.

If we bounce from here on the QQQs one could argue for a triple bottom which is a big deal.

Hit 300 on Thursday, 298 on Friday and 299 today.

BUT, if we open tomorrow in free fall then.... I dunno. The QQQs are still up 100% on the 52 weeks.

One would think not. This yield hysteria or 'rotation' has to run its course at some point. QQQs have hit a ten percent correction.

Anyway, all the best.

-30% TSLA
-20% AAPL

triple bottomed

Bought 100 at $562 after hours.

Had a wish call trigger at 300 for Mar 18 2022 300 strike price. If not well over 600 by then, something will have gone terribly wrong. Hell, you would think 1000 should be in play there.

I’m on mobile and I’m not a fan...

How can you buy after hours

How can you buy after hours

Your broker has to have you authorized (basically you have to ask for it) and you then enter an extended hours order. Works from 7am to 8pm.

Make sure it is a limit order (most brokers I know will not allow market). The spreads in extended hours can be LARGE.

 

[EVMeister]

Oh not this "triple bottom" talk again.

And is there such a thing as a quadruple bottom?

I use TD Ameritrade. There is also the option of WeBull, but have not tried this myself.
There must be something similar in your country.

Yes, the Kim Kardashian bottom.

I thought after-hours HAD to be limit orders that matched bid/ask and volume as there are no market makers making the market. I think that's why AH trades have some crazy swings or spikes. But I could be way off base.

How can you buy after hours

In Schwab, when you're setting up your buy order there's a line that says day only, good until cancel, extended hours. You choose whichever one of those you want.

I just placed an extended hours order in my Roth for $537.

Was missing the only place I want to be right now! Ironically the page looks so red, just like my portfolio.

So here we are, sitting round $3,000 when we know $5,000 is on the near horizon. What's everyone's favorite call expiration and why?

I'm thinking of letting this go another couple weeks then buying calls @ Sep and Jan expirations just to try and leverage the irrational tech dip and a 10yr treasury reversal. Any good reason to push it out further or look at something like Aug? What's your favorite trigger event on the horizon?

With calls I tend to go two ways. If you are gambling then you want to maximize the reward and pick a price and a near-term date. This is dangerous which is why it's gambling.

When investing it's important to realize that the market is a finicky beast and can be derailed for longer than you think it ought to be. So I like to minimize risk of total loss and pick long-dated calls. The longer the better. Of course every situation is different but right now I can see the market as a whole going either way (or stagnating) over the near-term (up to a year).

There are all kinds of potential near-term trigger events on the horizon, the largest is FSD. There are also potential Tesla Semi developments, Berlin/Austin developments, battery developments, and many other potential known and unknown developments. But all of these will be read through the filter of market sentiment (which is the most important factor from a near-term share price perspective and it's literally unknowable). So, it's pretty hard to assign a date or even a probability to any of these triggers or how they will be reflected in the near-term share price.

Cathie on Bloomberg (missed first 3 mins)

TSLA:
- Will continue to buy the dip (can buy up to 10% of each fund), built up to 10% last week but if it were to deteriorate they would have the latitude to buy more (and will)
- New PT in a couple of weeks (compliance is going over it)
- Two things since last update: 1) TSLA has increased market share - thought that TSLA share of EVs will drop from 17% to 11%, instead share has increased (TSLA ~80% in US) 2) Probability of TSLA getting autonomous right has increased from 30% from last model (margin for autonomous is ~80% range)

ARK:
- Concentrating on highest conviction names
- Technology is high growth and exponential
- Technologies are converging (ie. autonomous = AI, battery, etc). These S curves converging will be explosive; creating positive energy where traditional analysts will be gobsmacked
- Crypto: Any company on the right side of change should be diversifying

*end Part 1

This upgrade is AMAZINGLY beautiful, especially in dark mode. Thank you, techies!!!

Everyone: RELAX. TSLA was $109 exactly a year ago. We're still 400% up.

But, but, but, up ONLY 400%?

The sky is clearly falling ...
