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

[Curt Renz]

My related post on Thursday:

The really big TSLA share price jump is today. Many margin calls will be based on today's TSLA close. I would not expect those to be enforced until at least early trading tomorrow. And as noted below, they may not be enforced until next week.

Finra: Understanding Margin Accounts, Why Brokers Do What They Do | FINRA.org

Excerpt:

Normally, the broker will allow from two to five days to meet the call. The broker’s calls are usually based upon the value of the account at market close since various securities regulations require an end-of-day valuation of customer accounts.

ProfTournesol this morning:

Is this the margin call (the 5th day of the 2 to 5 day period)?

Actually there have only been 2 market closings since the Tesla earnings report. Hence this morning some margin calls could be under enforcement in response to account positions after the the 2nd post-ER market closing (Friday) . Post-ER market closings 3, 4 & 5 are still to come. Meanwhile, today's market closing will likely initiate many more margin calls that will start being enforced later this week and into next week.

So how long can CNBC not notice a certain stock having a bit of a decent day today? Cramer got a mention of Tesla in once but everyone else kept talking about how oil is not going away.

Gotta giv'em credit, TSLA is only up 11% today. So far ...

 

[ProfTournesol]

15%?

 

[strago13]

$734

hey folks, remember the $600's? that was a fun week.

I have no doubt that was intentional. The Hummer commercial was also designed to make EVs look bad. That dead silence was awful.

But still not as bad as the EV1 commercial... no wonder the sentiment was that GM was actively anti-selling the thing:

My Tesla shares broke $100k today as well.

You’re not a small investor any more

I'm in the green from my initial game plan of buying SCTY shares and far OTM LEAPs. Booya?

Third time it bounces of 645... Seems like someone want to keep it this way.

Suggestions on what Monday might look like??

Please keep the order book updates coming, could be very helpful for a lot of people here, thanks.

This is the first time ever I consider the sudden rise in SP to be "squeezy". It zoomed from $725 to $734 in seconds, before crashing back to $728 or so.

Hard to keep up.

 

[larmor]

Oh look. It's squeeze a short day.

Must be brown shorts by now....

 

[Zaxxon]

Who's buying the dip?

 

[Fobble]

I hope these trading web sites and phone apps won't crash just because they have not set up TSLA to be traded with 4 digits so quick

 

[dw4ngg]

I would DEFINITELY say this is SQUEEZE TERRITORY...

 

[EVMeister]

I wish the ticker would stop freezing. This F5ing is not a productive use of my time!

 

[Right_Said_Fred]

This way many of us can't get any work done. I hope the same does not apply to Tesla employees. Constantly checking the value of their options does not promote productivity

 

[Joe F]

CNBC too busy promoting Victoria's Secret "in hell."

No mention of $TSLA shorts "in hell"?!? SMH

 

[SunCatcher]

$715 is the MMD? LOL!

 

[Silent Ludicrosy]

Everyone who saw the Etron, Taycan, and EV Hummer ad yesterday must be buying TSLA today.
