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

[Artful Dodger]

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.

FINRA only reported on 37% of yesterday's total volume ( 11,040,638 / 29,819,230 ).

There's a lot of trading going on unreported behind the scenes.

P.S. 9.5m shares traded in the first 2 hrs of todays' session.

I think we'll see stepped buying pressure.

Big buy causing a quick spike, leveling, gradual drop, followed by another spike...as the biggies accumulate. I think that's a telltale sign, right?

This is the kind of event that big investors who don't care about Tesla and their mission will pile onto to make some money. That's why I said I'd be buying still at $300 if I were not fully loaded already. So, yes, I agree. Because look at the chart, anyone can see it's not going down, it's going up.

But you can bet the manipulators will be taking targeted action every step of the way to try to dampen the upside. But they have definitely lost thhe kind of control they had yesterday when they were successfully keeping it to $300. That was an expensive exercise but apparently, they have a lot of money. Just know that it's less today than it was yesterday (and so on).

Anyone knows how margin call works?

Will they be given a few days to come up with extra deposits or would it be force covered immediately without warning?

Is there any difference in handling big accounts vs. small retail?

Hmmm.

TSLAQ might explain it better since they are the expert in that area.

Yeah, you may be thinking of the Nürburgring, or else its this Allied beat down:

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

Mods!?

Longer version:

I was on the camp where Elon's Tweet habits needed to change. So thank you to the executive who plotted the chart showing stock price when Elon Tweeted vs when Elon didn't tweeted.

I'm just guessing wildly like everyone else here, but I did use a little play money to buy some deep OTM calls expiring today. That's the kind of foolish bet I never do, and I fully expect to lose all that play money in a few hours, but c'mon, this is not normal trading we are witnessing. It does seem like anything could happen this afternoon.

Riddle ..
If there is a Gap Fill to void a previous Gap Fill ... is it still a Gap Fill?

 

[strago13]

My trading account turned green at $308. So relieved.

The storm clouds pissing down rain are missing. Otherwise accurate.

Yes, it is. But the photo was taken yesterday before it got carpet-bombed again today.

This is officially a mini short squeeze. Brokers do not like the weekend in the way and are letting their clients know, let us see how far it goes.

At Market Watch they show an "automotive" percent gain/loss and I've long wondered how they calculate it. Currently it is showing 6.80% with $TSLA at 5.82%. Is there really someone doing enough better to counter the drag of $F and $GM and reach a sector growth higher than Tesla's?

US and China are close to finalizing some sections of trade deal, US trade representative says

A very bad day for shorts.

 

[woodisgood]

Uh oh! Recall! 89 Model 3s. This is a catastrophe. Shorts finally get the break they've been hoping for.

 

[Congo Line]

Wow SP is just going straight up this morning. Looks like terrain map of a major Alps climb in the tour de france.

My trading account is solidly in the green. Love knowing that this is causing max pain for the shorts!
