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

[Alphacrux]

No Mid Morning Dip today? (MMD)

Down to $515. Starting Mid-Afternoon Dip (MAD).

I left an "easy" $9k on the table there... But in my defence I was spooked by the Iran/US macro BS, not Tesla. And in any case, at least I got 36x investment and was smart enough to only sell 50%

I take it as a learning opportunity.

That was my lesson when I sold 20% off just before Q3 deliveries but bought that back and then some afterwards.

Found this on twitter, Market cap of auto companies.

At $93.5b right now... Look out VW

This plot reminds me of those plots of the production numbers for various EV models in early 2018...

CNBC video - hour ago: Past trends indicate Tesla shares have room to run beyond $500

Approximately $50M in buy orders sitting between here and $500.

 

[Matias]

I saw that earlier, decided most here would dismiss as mischief created by Mobile Eye. What do you think?

Could be

 

[ByeByeJohnny]

Approximately $50M in buy orders sitting between here and $500.

I don't expect to see a price that starts with a 4 until I start selling at 4k.

I know it's only a couple of percent down but I'm calling it. Won't happen.

This seemed to have no effect Israel Grounds Tesla’s Autopilot Feature - CTech

Sensational title. No system like that is allowed , even mobileye which is home grown from Israel.

You spooked me there, because you said you know how to turn $100 call into $100k.

I only have 1 and could not split it in half, so I let it ride.

Sonny: I'm long on Tesla without prayers, ever, but as an old fart much more preoccupied by the diurnal. You may live to agree. Everything in perspective my son, everything in perspective, especially on days like these.

You're always focused on your peeing. Oh wait I thought you said urinal. Never mind.

Playing goalie for MobilEye?

 

[Tim S]

Can someone re-post the side-by-side historical charts of TSLA vs AMZN? It might help those who are considering taking profits after the recent run up.

Seems like it's actually a reiteration of the existing policy rather than anything new.

Okay, well, everyone who has interest in an Iceland meetup PM me, along with your preferences as to when Geez, I was thinking that by the time we hit $500 I'd already have my Tesla and could pick you guys up at the airport in it. But no cars here yet, thanks to all of this infernal #DemandProblem....

We'll do northern lights watching if the weather and magnetosphere cooperates, and head out to see the countryside (assuming a sufficient vehicle supply for everyone materializes) I could show you my (frozen-over) land where I've been planting trees, too.

I've been to Reykjavik once a few years ago, and it's a fun place with or without lights! I'm in like Flynn.

Just in case . What is the strategy if a short squeeze happens?

 

[pz1975]

There should be a whole new round of margin calls for the shorts tomorrow morning.

You're saying it won't go below $500? I'm calling it -- it will surely happen.. and don't get me wrong, I'm not a short.

 

[Sparky4life]

I bought everything I could when it was low, but by $190 I was tapped out. Not that I have enough shares to retire even if it goes up to $6k, but its (a lot) better than nothing.

But as I may be a bit heavy in $TSLA I put the new year money into diversification. The upside is that should the unthinkable happen and $TSLA drop significantly again I will have resources to buy more. But for now I'm down to ~88% $TSLA. Though with the growth the percentage keeps climbing

I doubled down (460 more shares) at $212 last June. Seemed obvious from following this forum. My wife asked why I didn't buy more. I still don't have a good answer.

With respect to TSLA, I balance my portfolio based on cost basis, not current value. That way I don't feel any need to sell

 

[Zero CO2]

I know I am small apples to most/all of you here, but I'm very happy with the SP movement! Looks like my stretch goal of TSLA saving for my Tesla is going to be exceeded! Upper 515-ish, and still before Q4 report and earning.

I would think long and hard before using my capital gains to buy a Tesla....

Not advice

477-475 area should be a buy signal

I just want to say thanks @AlexS for this call on Thursday. I picked up a few shares at 475 when I saw this.
