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

[The Accountant]

This is some serious early volume compared to the last few weeks.

Serious indeed....2m shares traded in the first 10 min....buyers outnumbering sellers....nice

Shortz seem to be attempting to cap SP at +$10 over yesterday's close: $221.71

EDIT: 50-day Moving Average at 09:45 EDT: $232.42

Today's Intraday High: $232.40​

Jus' Sayin'...

IIRC don't they refuse to directly take donated vehicles, to avoid getting specially enhanced vehicles for testing? I think they may accept monetary donation earmarked for buying a specific model anonymously as a regular buyer would though, which is probably how the etron gets tested ...

It's still Tesla's choice not to help things along in this scenario but it costs them more than just the car itself would (have to give up the margin, too)

Add I30 through Arkansas. Arkadelphia has been "coming soon" forever

Well, I'm seriously annoyed. just got my invoice paid and have transferred €7500 to my trading account, which won't arrive until Monday. With the 3% yesterday and 4% now, that's a nice little pop I missed out on. Damn these last-minutes payers!

But OK, it's nice for my existing position. Still at least half of where it should be right now, but i think the FUD is beginning to run out of steam and the deliveries will be stronger quarter on quarter.

Looks like Tesla's navigation system is getting an upgrade. Also note that it seems like Tesla is still interested in eventually doing battery swaps at some point in the future:

As an accountant I am surprised by your post. Can you explain to me where all the “extra” shares bought came from since more were bought than sold

Asking price for the convertible bonds jumped 3.5 from 96 yesterday to 99.5 with SP jump of just 5%. Spread went from 1% yesterday to 2.5% today. The seller is getting greedy.

I guess he means there were more bids than asks?

Of course the transactions are all 1 for 1 (except the naked shorts, of course)

2.456 M shares traded in the first 30 minutes of the main session.

Market Makers attempting to exert their will on the SP now at $229.65

Hold ur damn shares

haha - fair enough. Should have said that there are more Willing Buyers than Willing Sellers - more demand (buyers) drives prices up; more supply (sellers) drive prices down.

230 looks like the last hurrah. If the shorts can’t cap that today, the SP could rise well above that today.

Even if they succeed in capping today, once everyone is back Tuesday things are setting up nicely.

I profit-took back most of the cash I spent recently (options-rolling when the stock was around $212), via rolling to a slightly higher strike. Now I'm ready to re-spend the cash should we get a new Trump tweet, but still prepared to profit off of any TSLA spike (which, going into August deliveries - starting Monday - and soon enough, Q3 deliveries - is IMHO a quite likely event when you have people expecting that hitting guidance is an unlikely, "Herculean" effort )

Thanks a lot China. I get 30k freed up to maybe pick up some shares in the sub 230/220 area and now this. I can't decide if buying more at 229 is a good play right now. I don't see any major jump until GF3 starts producing.

We opened today, and I have returned to a green portfolio. Nice to wake up to after an afternoon nap while on a 4 day weekend.

Today has been a good day so far.

Karen: I find most of your comments informative and intelligent. It's a shame that you think you can outsmart the market. Buy and hold shares. Options= loser; "trading shares"= loser. Sorry, but it's actually quite boring to build wealth. One has to give up the rush of gambling. GLTY.

People are dumb, but I'm not worried long term. It's very common for everyone to say how complicated and annoying some new technology is, but 5 years later they can't live without it.

Hmmm … she is talking about options. Not stock. Its not like you can buy short term options and hold - you have to roll. Just a question of when.

It also has to be intuitive, and easy to use, however. Like how the blackberry came out, but was then overtaken by the iPhone.
