I think we aren't supposed to look at, or talk about, the kermit action of green springing higher.
GREEN !
(did I do it correct?)
Had an ice breaker at work the other day, where we were supposed to say our hobbies...
I literally couldn't think of anything other than driving my Model 3, admiring my Model 3, reading Tesla forums, and watching TSLA while wishing I had more money to invest.
Tesla is all consuming!
well, volume has largely petered out (at least, compared to earlier) which means shorts and market makers have an easier time of it, and right now both would prefer $TSLA to be lower.View attachment 490619
I was hoping to be using better memes by now
Then use his Tesla features twitter posts as a sell signal. :shrug: whatever works for youEverytime ELon tweets about new things that will come out the stocks goes down
Good story, thanks. Agree, future value is not met, but ya in 3 years it will be hard to hide Tesla growth and success.And, given what we know, I would be more likely to call it a great big fat devil than a "little" devil. I would sell in a heartbeat if the growth story wasn't intact (but it is). Those with uncertain, weak and trembling hands might want to read this post I made yesterday:
Tesla, TSLA & the Investment World: the 2019 Investors' Roundtable
Who has gone missing from TSLAQ?

Maybe he just went fishing?
Or who else notable from TSLAQ has gone missing?

Any journalism outfit without such a policy would be highly suspect in my eyes.
Long term options probably are still profitable, but premiums are a bit steep right now imo. Probably profitable, but more risk and less reward.
I bought a handful of Jun'21 $400s @ $16 some time in August.
Then I bought a handful of Jan'22 $400s @ $26-$17 for avg of $22 in September. I had one more order open for $16.5, which barely did not get filled (bunch of options traded for $16.7). Got too greedy on that one.
Then after Cybertruck dip and redoing the math on 2020 and 2021 financials, I decided to roll over my Jan'22 $400s into twice the number of Jan'22 $500s which were trading at about half the price. I thought that SP of $600 by Jan'22 was much more likely than before Q3 due to increased operating efficiency and due to Model Y being ahead of schedule. I also thought that especially the increased operating efficiency will provide significant further upside beyond $600. I also decided to add a few more of these Jan'22 $500s just for good measure, because they were trading @ $37 and I was regretting not buying more of the $400s 2 months earlier.
If all goes according to plan, I'll sell these options some time in 2021, and hopefully add 400-600 or so extra shares to my long position. If I sold all the options now, I'd be able to add 250 shares. And yes, I think in # of shares rather than monetary value, because all I'm trying to do is accumulate as many TSLA shares as I can, and then hold until 2030.
Have at it day traders ..... silly exercise in trying to time this stock.
So much good news coming down the pike for Tesla .... so much that I don't even hear much about the model Y and frankly that should be the headline .... looking forward to 2020.
Cheers to the longs.
You are going to have to sue yourself for 190 million now.stupid headlines:
Tesla Stock Could Hit Elon Musk’s Infamous $420 Prediction
Maybe I'm just a pedant (pedant pedant) but he never predicted $420. I guess this goes in the same bucket as "but Elon pwomised!"
rediction
I was looking to see what the value at risk for short interest has been over time. Because Ihor's numbers are fantasy I took the last year's official short interest numbers and graphed them against share price. There's no real surprise in the comparison of the two with value at risk largely mirroring stock price in terms of direction. There is one exception: at the end of April the value at risk jumped up despite a steep decline in share price. So late April is when, broadly speaking, the shorts seriously piled on.
But what I was looking for -- was the value at risk constant -- clearly showed that it was not. It ranged from as low as $7.6B (end of January) to as high as $10.8B (mid November). That's a substantial swing in money betting against $TSLA and, at the end of November, it was at the higher end of that range: $9.5B. Of course we won't get mid December short interest for what, another week? But so far the indications (last datum, prior behavior) are that it will still be at the high end meaning minimal short covering.
Looking at the short interest got me to thinking about the "$TSLA is trailing returns of some index" line. But that is only tracking how your investment would perform if it was static and you weren't doing any trading. What if you had a buy and hold? To be fair, what if you always and only bought at arbitrary points? Using the short interest data points as the buy points I calculated what the return as a static value from the first to the last -- and that gave a 9.8% decline in value. But if you bought the same value of shares at mid and end of each month it had a return of 24.5%.
Obviously, anyone who followed the dictum of buy low, sell high would have accumulated more shares at the lows and the return would be even higher.
This second point is simply that stocks do not improve monotonically so any analysis that assumes that they do over an extended period of time (e.g., gains for the last 12 months or since start of year) is misleading, and not only for day trading. Anyone who is accumulating will have a variation from that overly simplistic metric.
well, volume has largely petered out (at least, compared to earlier) which means shorts and market makers have an easier time of it, and right now both would prefer $TSLA to be lower.
