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

[gene]

I just picked up 4,000 shares of these guys, I have a good feeling...Media

While we're having fun here, SP has gone from $298 to almost $310 in just one hour

B...A...F!!!!!

 

[electracity]

Yeah, it's strange, but Inside EVs has turned decidedly negative against Tesla recently.

I think just sloppy. Pay someone $100 to write an article and this is what they get.

 

[MissAutobahn]

My prediction is Nov 21st.

Or 11/27? Thanksgiving?

Oprah has only one message to the shorts:

Hindsight is an amazing thing. I only bought 1 option (100 shares) for TSLA at $305 today. The way things are looking now I might wind up making $500 or $1k. That makes me think "gee, I should have purchased 1000 of these options!". Lottery tickets are fun. (I might even wind up breaking even over all my options... )

No, you keep up.

Doesn´t look like this is the complete interview, but at least a snapshot:
Tesla Chairwoman Robyn Denholm on the company's goals for its China expansion

Longer version:

 

[Nocturnal]

No, you keep up.

I sincerely hope you are all wrong about current SP all day as it keeps climbing.

and this is only with one good quarter. What happens to the poor shorts after Q4 results?

 

[Fact Checking]

IDK, the short selling yesterday was marked at 54%, which of the shares sold yesterday, is something like 15 million shares shorted. That's a lot of shorting after such a good earnings call.

I don't think that 54% figure is even remotely accurate: if a broker aggregates client transactions into 4,000 share blocks due to high volume, then even a single share sold short and 3,999 shares sold by longs would mark the whole block as "sold short".

This makes the FINRA report highly unreliable during high volume events.

We'll know more in about a month, when the transaction level short selling log will be published. Will try to take a closer look once that data is out.

Article from this morning is looking pretty accurate.
History Suggests Jump in Tesla (TSLA) Following Blowout Earnings May Be Just The Beginning

Actually, the reversal really started the day after I wrote that piece last month. As expected, there was a quick bounce back, with all the lost ground being recovered within a couple of days, and the stock has never been lower since. The biggest catalyst to date, however, came from yesterday’s earnings. A massive beat of expectations pushed the stock above $300, a level not seen since the spring, so it is unlikely that we will get back to where we were a month ago for some time, if at all.

I am neither arrogant nor naive enough to believe that every investor follows my words of wisdom, so I am sure there are a lot of people who didn’t buy a month ago. After a great earnings report and a huge positive market reaction, they are no doubt wondering, did I miss the boat? The evidence suggests not.

Take a look at the chart above. The white lines are trend lines showing the sustained trajectory following earnings releases. As you can see, the initial reaction to earnings usually starts a trend that lasts, rather than reversing quickly like the reactions to headlines. Even though the stock has jumped twenty percent on this release, history indicates that is just the beginning.

and this is only with one good quarter. What happens to the poor shorts after Q4 results?

I'll need somebody to mow my lawn while I'm out enjoying my roadster.

 

[⚡️ELECTROMAN⚡️]

Has the short squeeze started yet? Let me know when it's time to go all in.

 

[Tslynk67]

I'm still 30 pages behind, but I'd just like to give a big hug to all of you out there with call options - almost certainly you're up any any closing today, likely big time.

So nice to see the MM's get screwed-over by the little guys for once.

As for the put-holders

 

[electracity]

Now the shorts problem is that 12 month high

The Word for Today Boys and Girls: CAPITULATION

 

[Lessmog]

I've been too long I'm glad to be back
Yes, I'm let loose
From the noose
That's kept me hanging about
I've been looking at the sky
'Cause it's gettin' me high
Forget the hearse 'cause I never die
I got nine lives
Cat's eyes
Abusin' every one of them and running wild

Just a word of warning from one who once started a stampede downwards:
NO POETRY PLEASE!

Thank you all.

Still, up is better. Been some time now.

The Jan 2021 $690 TSLA calls I bought a couple of weeks ago have more than doubled in value today!

Yah, my jan 2021 $650's that I bought for $1 went to $2.50

But patience, Grasshopper... (if you know this reference, you're old...)
