here's the full quote about his own personal shares:Ross panic sold when TSLA dipped to $200 area. Now he wants back in, he have only 200 shares left, per his post yesterday.
for full context, here's the quote about his wealth management as that is separate:I actually had 3500 of Tesla I bought at $30 too, 7 years ago. Today same thing I have 200 left. Sold much along the way. Ive traded it and added a bunch last year but if didnt take profits, what would that be worth... $TSLA
I only took out a small amount for our older clients at $260. But we added back a lot in the low $200 through convertible bonds. So we actually increased our position last year... We just sold some stock and bought all those bonds... Worked marvelously.
The manipulations as we approach Fridays suggests that some of the hedge funds are really trying to protect unhedged calls they sold, and these same hedge funds might be shorting without calls as hedges.
Not so cheap though, I'd have to sell 8 shares if I wanted to bring the the wife and the X (as in car, not ex, although that's an interesting proposition).

it's amazing that i have more TSLA than this talking head who is on TV yapping away as if he's some true believer. I feel like most of the time he's on TV just to pump his wealth management company and try to get some clout talking TSLA. I'll give him credit for being public about it.
In the spirit of "pride goeth before the fall" I'd like to suggest a little less strutting and preening here. Any idiot can make money when the stock he's bullish on goes up and up and up. We're all pleased, but we're not all suddenly geniuses.
If you're an actual trading genius, please tell me when we're about to see TSLA drop more than 10%. And no, it doesn't count if you tell me afterwards.
To save the click and to make the information searchable here on TMC:
"MIC M3 Update: Tesla sales rep says red & black M3s are completely sold out for Q1. Limited quantities of white/blue/silver M3s, if ordered now, can still be delivered be4 EOQ. She further says all orders (regardless of color) placed after wed (1/15) won’t be delivered before EOQ1."
While anecdotal, this leak is very specific about inventory levels and about a new order cutoff date, the kind of information only Tesla sales rep have, so I'd assign it a high probability that it's true. Ray4Tesla is a reliable twitter account with good China information in the past.
BTW., I'm really, really curious exactly how many those "Q1 sales" Tesla China is planning is. Is it 10,000 units? 15,000 units?
Ray4Tesla suggests it might be more:
RayAnother users asks him about production levels: "This article says they’re already at 3000 a week", to which he says:Tesla

"I can see an incredible year ahead for teslacn since demand is basically going through the roof. The earlier estimate of 150k Model 3s for #GF3 by EOY may be too conservative. Combined w/ rising demand in EU, things look exceptional in 2020."
"I think that’s the capacity they have right now. Judging from recent hiring round, they may have added 2nd shift. My best guess is around 2k now. Gradual ramp-up will push it to 3k soon."
Achieving an average 2k/week at GF3 through Q1 would be phenomenal ...
There definitely is a giddy mood around here. It's like we've collectively decided to forget that Tesla is very volatile and there will be drops of 30% or more from the highs on our way to the future.
Volume forecasts are also getting super bullish in the short term too. Can we at least wait until battery investor day before estimating 600k+ deliveries this year to see if Tesla will have enough capacity to reach the target.
Celebrate the win we have at the moment but don't get stupid with forecasts and leveraged bets if the stock price doesn't continue this amazing run forever.
here's pre-market from yahoo finance:Meanwhile Frankfurt up to USD 533.41 (10:49 CET), +~3.9%

Even if TSLA goes to the moon today and stays there forever, for 6 months none of Elon's options are going to vest and there will be no dilutive effects.
Shorts are HODLing

Arguments still the same.

Edit: actually, at this point with showing so much conviction, I think it's more likely to be manipulators than real shorts.
Giving Elon shi*loads of shares is the opposite of dilutive![]()
I just happened to look at the 21 Feb Option Chain, and noticed some unusual things:
View attachment 499847
There's some really high volume and open interest in $800 and even $900 call options expiring five weeks from now.
It looks like as a result of this, some of the ASK prices have gotten out of whack. I know there can be very large spreads on certain options, but the spread on some of those is absurd. Just look at the $890 and $860 in particular. ASK price is 5-6x the BID price for those.
To me this looks like:
- Some big players are making big bets on a huge squeeze after earnings.
- The market makers are reluctant to sell these at 'normal' prices, so they've significantly increased the ASK price on some of them.
