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

[Dan Detweiler]

Has any info been released about this year's TMC event yet? Date?
I attended the first one where Elon was guest speaker.
This year's should be a blast. Will need a first aid station in lobby to treat injuries from too much back slapping.

More like treating for alcohol poisoning from all the toasts!

New ATH

This is getting intense! I have all my friends and family telling me to sell. Everyday they are telling me. I’m getting so sick and tried of it. Some of them are investment analysts so they think they know better. They say I’m not reading the other side (short side). I’m not selling though. Until they give me a legitimate reason why then I won’t be selling my core shares. Anyone else hearing about this from loved ones?

"I say when we sell!" (t=3m39s):

- in this film Steve Carell is superb.

Market cap 170B...

 

[SMAlset]

Same almost. Am 32, been in TSLA for 3 years, 280k unrealized gains currently, staying until goal met of at least 500k post capital gains, never owned a house & always owned 20 year old beater cars. Debating buying house + Model Y with gains, but so many things to consider I'm paralyzed into probably just holding forever - good ether way, I guess

Don't forget to factor in the taxes on all levels. Big bite out of your realized gains.

there is, yes, as should be obvious by now. a bunch of funds are trying to "beat the rush" once TSLA is added to their various metrics that govern what they hold.

Oh I see, so the fact that Russell 1000's gains are driven by TSLA is getting actual actively managed funds to notice. Gotcha, thank you!

 

[VT_EE]

you got somewhere better to put your money? do tell!

Nope, but I’m having flashbacks from the late 90’s. I must stay strong and hold.

 

[UnknownSoldier]

So what's up with options expirations this week? Can we expect the usual end of week capping by MM's tomorrow through Friday as had been seen the past 3 weeks?

 

[AquaMan]

Just a thought, but it wouldn't surprise me if the stock price itself gleans so much press that a few extra cars get sold this quarter.

 

[insaneoctane]

What happened to stocks splitting to make them more affordable? Also helps psychological aspect (10:1 split puts the stock price at $9/share and these gains of $150+ are only $1.50). Is that not the cool trend anymore?

 

[thait84]

Nope, but I’m having flashbacks from the late 90’s. I must stay strong and hold.

Long and strong and down to get the friction on!

 

[uselesslogin]

Another day of record volume.

 

[Causalien]

Wow

Short term vol of 1.25, long term vol of 0.98
RSI at 95

These numbers basically means the math is broken.
I am trying to contemplate what it means when RSI reaches 100 and can it go above 101.

 

[Nocturnal]

Good lord, I would never have believed that I'd be able to say "I just bought 30 more shares at $939." but my options profits are just staring at me while the ticker slowly goes up.

I'm getting the feeling that we have more room to run. Between stubborn longs, big investors, and just those hoping to make a buck, surely they smell the short blood in the water and are willing to run it up.

 

[Pezpunk]

Just a thought, but it wouldn't surprise me if the stock price itself gleans so much press that a few extra cars get sold this quarter.

I definitely think the stock has a positive impact on the company's perceived legitimacy, and thus helps potential sales.

But in order to believe it helps sales, you'd therefore have to believe they're not supply-constrained, right?

Is anyone willing to admit to that here? Every time I bring up advertising, everyone yells at me that they couldn't possibly sell a single more car than they do because they're battery / manufacturing constrained.

 

[SMAlset]

Love the CNBC amazement at today's current high. Phil is talking about other related Tesla stocks and looking at those.

 

[Ratanpara]

Tesla is the story of the day, those of us who owns Tesla for last 5 years or more knew and recognized opportunity while ago, wall street is just catching up.This lead me to think about Panasonic stock, it’s has been dead money for a long time but time could be ripe for this stock to go up, they just made a profit from operations at Giga factory, risk factors on Panasonic is ,battery is total commodity market low margin business but even some what respectable margin could be hugely profitable, other risk or highly rewarding thing could happen with Panasonic is , When Tesla have their own batteries manufacturing what would happen to Panasonic? likely scenario is Tesla will not kick Panasonic to curb they probably will license their technology to Panasonic and mutually benefit both party, is it

worth throwing some money at Panasonic?, it might be a long shot but Panasonic should be value higher then currently.

 

[UncaNed]

Following for me.

Perhaps if you start a Tesla leasing business or your buying them for part of the Tesla Network? Then you could claim depreciation at least.
