Bosch and Volkswagen want to industrialize factory equipment for battery-cell production​

Both partners have formed a project unit with the target to prepare the establishment of the new company until the end of 2022. Bosch and Volkswagen want to industrialize factory equipment for battery-cell production

I have expected a larger group of companies that would start such an initiative in Europe. Just Volkswagen and one of their main component suppliers? Where should the knowledge and experience come from? Maybe they get a battery manufacturer on board soon (= two years).
 
Impressive game of chicken happening. 5 trading days, after today, before earnings released, and someone is still trying to push the SP down on a Green Day. They either have the world's biggest balls, or tiniest brain....
Huge balls in lowish volume. Gotta give these guys some credit taking these punches and holding their position. Gonna go broke, but an inspirational effort!

I really think this is a huge turning point and the desperation is gonna get extreme. Next Thursday every algo updates to an absurdly profitable (and growing) TSLA. The few sad bastards still standing in front of the freight train are gonna get squashed like grape.

Exciting times.
 
Who are these TSLA investors that are unhappy with their gains from 2016 to now?


Suits like this often have narrow time windows of stock ownership to be eligible to participate in the suit. You can look up what the requirements are.

I haven't bothered to do that but it's a good bet most of the suit members have missed most of the gains in TSLA since the lows of 2019 and are hoping to profit a little bit off their history of TSLA ownership, after the fact, through this suit. The term "TSLA shareholders" in the context of this suit denotes historical TSLA shareholders, not necessarily current TSLA shareholders.

This is a somewhat unique week for TSLA as there are a very large number of deep in-the-money calls expiring this week (Flash back to the giga brains in 2019/2020 talking about buying Jan '22 LEAPs, ah if only). It's probably a safe assumption that many of these calls were bought by retail/individual investors, therefore the MMs that sold the calls hedge them by buying shares. With the calls being in-the-money, they should be hedging 1 to 1.

When these calls expire, if the holder does not want to (or doesn't have the funds to) exercise the calls, they'll sell them and the dealers can sell the shares (hedge) they own. There are a lot of these calls.

Unfortunately it's difficult to quantify the effect this will have, if any. But it's an interesting phenomenon to note and consider, and probably will have *some* effect this week, whether we can easily spot it or not.
