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

While Browsing the internet I saw this.

While not from Tesla its an ad from an installer.
Florida Solar Panel Installation Free Estimate on Solar Power

Am I too sensitive to this, or does it seem like whenever we have positive Tesla news it is somehow worded in a way that tries to downplay it? "Musk suggests"...

@mrdoubleb takes time from his busy posting schedule to "suggest" the news downplays positive Tesla news.

LMAO buying back all my next week calls at 90% discount thanks guys. This truck is freaking sick and I’m not joking. I seriously hope they follow through with it.

Suck it, shorties!

Who else increased leverage on Friday?

Only wish I'd done so more aggressively But I had to account for the chance of a more protracted / deeper slide.

Where were you for the past year when it was under 250 lol >.> if you’re only buying a couple shares at a time then the price doesn’t matter honestly

I've been buying each paycheck since March of this year, haha.

And while I am buying only 2-3 shares at a time, when they're at a difference of $20+ a share, that is still noteworthy to me.

Yeah I was hoping for more downside too into this week. Bought some Friday but wanted more.

Best part is every time I am aggressive with a “stop messing around and show some conviction” attitude I get served.

Hey, it is a trading account. Have some lovely long term positions.

All the best!

I converted all my calls into shares on Thursday, and back into calls on Friday..

As I said last week, should of sold my 1/21 options and re-bought extra. My bad, lesson learned.

The stock markets open soon. How will Wall Street react to Tesla having some 200,000 reservations for Cybertruck?

I'm pretty sure the short-dated call options I bought on Friday are going to take off like a Falcon rocket today.

Below are the slides from a CATL presentation on EV Li-ion batteries at the IAEC conference earlier this month.

While bullish on ongoing the BEV-disruption it does not mention Tesla, but it does point to Panasonic coming in second after CATL in terms of manufacturing volume, per 2019H1 (slide 5). The bar plot does not include units, but they could be GWh.

Anyway, I think this is an interesting view of Tesla's competition in a key area.

There is a solar lawn mowing service here. However, I don't use them because they want to cut the grass every single week when that's not even remotely necessary.

Hey, my lawn is solar. PM me their number.

Sigh... Looks like I have to wake up in 3 hours to trade.

The best time to do that was the gift that was handed to us on Friday.

You didn't accept the gift?

People are funny that way.

 

[SpaceCash]

There is nothing cringier on this board than when people say "man I wish the price was lower because I'm a gambling addict and overthink the timing of my buys and sells".
I honestly think these types of posts should be deleted on sight with extreme prejudice.

Up 3% already today, let's see 8!

 

[MP3Mike]

looks like we will get a few thousand out in 2019. About what I thought. Hopefully they hit 1k a week in early January.

If they hit their goal they will be at 1,200 a week before the end of the year...

The MMD looks pretty aggressive. Shorts are really running scared selling all they can.

 

[Tslynk67]

Big shorty/bear offensive at open to try and nullify the recovery, reservation numbers and trigger 340 stop-losses. Be interesting to see how much money they're prepared to lose on this.

Nah I just have the call part of my straddle to unwind. The straddle made more than a pure bullish play since Thursday.

I prefer sleeping in, but when it might be a +100% play, I get up and wait.

 

[printf42]

What’s that 1M volume in the first minute of trading?
Was that some kind of bear raid signal?
Saw the same last Friday, but apparently it didn’t work today.

Interesting opinion article from Mark Reuss, president of GM. While the title is negative sounding (typical from CNN Money), the article sounds more like a call to action for large auto manufacturers.
