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

[LoveTSLA]

Is this big firm accumulation or short bleeding? If it is later , we will be 430-450 soon? If it is the accumulation, we will be 500+ later next year?
Congrats to all super hardcore LONGS!

It is in my new target range so quick! I am just thrilled.

Stock is at ATH and barely anyone is posting.

Are you all drunk on egg-nog or something?!

Hasn't risen enough in my mad money fund to get that new Mac Pro and monitor.

About $100-$200 short there.

"For Q4, both U.S. consumer demand for Model 3 and European strength should likely drive upside and enable Tesla to "comfortably" hit its vehicle delivery guidance of 360,000-400,000 units for fiscal 2019, says the analyst. He believes that while part of the recent share rally has been a "massive short covering," it has also been driven by underlying fundamental improvement. Ives values the Tesla "Bear case" at $200-$220 per share and the "Bull case" at $580-$600 per share. However, he's still taking a "wait and see approach to see how sustainable this level of demand/profitability is going forward" before becoming more constructive on Tesla shares.

Yeah, we're just sitting here watching the ticker with gormless expressions on our faces.

Nope, some of us are opening prized bottles of superb Malbec to celebrate what has been an excellent year for us even though it has been truly devastating for the world. What a mixed blessing! For the first time in decades every security I own is at an ATH.

I, for one, will not cry if January somehow becomes less stellar, if only politicians would take action to preserve what is left of our very stressed plant. (sorry about the down tone).

In the meantime it great to have only capital gains taxes to worry about.

That doesn't address the amount of FSD revenue that accrues each quarter from each quarter's sales. It's a moving target.

I also don't understand your usage of the word "accrue" in that sentence.

The way I read it is that the amount in the FSD pot gets larger each quarter, even after moving some to income.

I've never met a financial advisor I thought had a clue.

I've met 2 in my investing experience. The second time I went to see them I found that one had been promoted upstairs, and the other had promoted himself into a small wealth management company and although he saw me once and was helpful and well-informed, he had to tell me that he no longer dealt with small investors like me.

Some configurations of that machine are more expensive than a model 3.

Where's the emoji for "so funny... and yet so true!"

Ain't that the truth

That's over twice the market cap of FORD.
Next stop... General Motors PLUS Ford = $89B

I keep moving the goalposts back in terms of selling a little stock just to have cash to buy more when it re-visits the 300s. Maybe it'll go a leeetle bit higher and THEN I'll sell just a little.

How many others of you are doing the same thing?

That's over twice the market cap of FORD.

Currently:

--0.4% GM
--0.2% F
+1.8% TSLA

IOW, their total number of shares sold short gradually decreases, but total value of short interest owed remains constant.

The beauty of this is for TSLA short interest to remain constant in dollar terms as TSLA shares rise, requires the shorts to continually fund their decision to remain short (even as they reduce the actual number of shares they are short). If TSLA continues to appreciate over the years, this requires a constant stream of buying.

For a Tesla long, this is the ultimate gift that just keeps on giving.

Thank you TSLAQ!

One word. Foolish.

"Bull case" at $580-$600 per share

$100-$200 short there.

I feel a little like Aragorn waking up and checking the morning stock price:

“I must be dreaming....”

Arwen/Tesla:

“Then it is a good dream!”

Only sell if I need some eat'n money.

Similar here. Need cash for 2020Q1. If the pace keeps up, then -10@450 tomorrow
