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

in Europe, they need to do 20k this month to keep on par with Q3, and perhaps more if they need to get to 105k for this quarter.

Feasible?

Hard to say, but as 2nd month of Q was stronger than in Q3 and total for 1st+2nd month is higher, I´d say there is a good chance. However, the report of two ship loads waiting while following is being delivered adds some suspense as to whether they can deliver those two previous ships also.

‘Shocked’ strategist says sell Tesla — ‘I don’t give a toss if he is a visionary’


‘I don’t want to hold an investment in a firm run by someone like Elon Musk. The next 10 years are not going to be about Unicorn Hype — it will be back to fundamentals.’

That’s the bearish view on the future of Tesla TSLA, +1.46% held by Bill Blain, strategist at London-based Shard Capital. “Musk is a product of our age. Entitled, arrogant, unbelievably rich and powerful, he reckons normal rules don’t apply to him,” he wrote of the car maker’s chief executive in a note Monday.

“Don’t tell me he was found innocent in court last week and therefore has no case to answer,” he wrote. “I don’t give a toss if he is a visionary, a great engineer, or whatever baloney he claims. In my opinion, such a man is not fit to run a major firm and is not deserving of our respect.”

My commiserations in advance for Mr Chillblain. He is gonna hurt.

Sounds butt-hurt. Maybe its the strategist that needs to find a new profession ?

He sounds like a guy who got ran over from being short TSLA and was hoping that the pedo trial would go the other way. Oops.

He probably went through a melt down after the verdict cleared Elon and started to write his negative assessment.

“I don’t give a toss” who uses these foul language when they’re cool and collective? And he expects the public to take him seriously? No wonder we’re up $3.5 today, the shorts are having a meltdown before our eyes.

Tesla did not immediately respond to a request for comment..........Don't hold your breath Bill waiting for that:D

According to his linkedin profile he'd be unlikely to invest in a company like Tesla anyhow.

Bill Blain is Strategist and Head of Capital Markets / Alternative Assets at Mint Partners. Mint is a full service agency brokerage owned by, but independent of BGC, the leading financial brokerage..
Bill is a regular commentator on fixed income and financial markets. He publishes a daily market comment - The Morning Porridge.
Bill has pioneered the concept of "Alternative Investments" - using structured and secured debt and equity to build attractive "real" assets with attractive relative returns. He has built a practice covering the major UK real money investors, global credit and hedge funds, specialist investors and family offices.
Although Bill is famously on record saying the "Era of Investment Banking is over", his vision for the future development of global capital markets is positive and evolutionary.​

Might just be handing out sensational quotes to plug his podcast.
 
Oh this is just a response to the over exuberance of a potential spike on Monday due to GF3 delivering model 3s. You can bet a dollar all them ****ers will do their best to put a damper on that sentiment by printing ap crash news nonstop on Monday.

None of your gloom-and doom predictions materialized.

Like a mothe-Fing clairvoyant. Anthony and I should get married.

Willfull blindness - the Nasdaq composite dropped -0.40% today, with a spike down late in the day, which usually weighs on TSLA - which instead rose by 1% on healthy volume, against dropping macros.

TSLA has shown good relative strength today.

You mean we didn't see multiple articles about AP crash today(even though the news happened yesterday with no major news outlet picking it up) and having a decent rally fizzled out eventually? It's literally what I was arguing about...the news putting a damper on the rally and we'll end up trading flat. Would def eat crow if today we saw a 3%+ rally.

It sounds like Bill Blain has a few anger issues to work through. :oops:

I challenge anyone to find a quote of Musk saying he's a great engineer or he's a visionary. He's actually a very humble person and even more so when you consider all of his extraordinary accomplishments to date.
 
I started looking at the network of 'reporters' who bash Elon. I think blocking them is a good move. I also think that the most important part of fighting FUD against Tesla/Elon is raising the visibility of sources like InsideEVs/Teslarati/CleanTechnica. Fighting the FUD on the terms of Bloomberg/The Guardian/BI/etc is fighting an uphill battle. Time is better spent on Twitter upvoting positive stories than giving attention to biased hit pieces. Twitter (and other platform) algorithms are fed by discussion/clicks.

100%. Trolls want the attention, arguing with them is what they enjoy. The others want clicks (which are driven by comments etc.) .

Nonsense. The articles were out for hours, nobody cared, TSLA was strong.

TSLA gave back a bit at the end of the day, when the Nasdaq dropped sharply, according to standard correlation:

100% unrelated to any man-crashes-car-and-admits-guilt news.

You were wrong about pretty much everything in your last 20 posts, which must be some kind of record.
