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

[woodisgood]

Not investment related.

I had the same sharp creaking sound coming from the read suspension when the car was around 40k mile. It was super loud and uncomfortable. It went away after driving on the freeway for about 10 minutes, and it hasn't came back. Hope the same goes for you.

Yesterday my Model 3 saved me on the freeway from a SUV when the driver changed lane without checking his blind spot. My car swerved before I even realize what happened. Sure the stock is taking a pummeling but I don't think any other car could avoid this crash like a Tesla could. If I were driving any other car, not sure I would be up and typing this morning. It's all about perspective and I'm just grateful my family and the other driver were both unharmed and went on our lives.

It's investment related in that maybe the car lets you live another day in order to invest. I don't think I'm as lucky as you on the creaking but we'll see. Thankfully still under warranty (barely) or the irk-factor would increase a notch.

Maybe it will resolve itself as the SP returns to the 750+ range...speaking of which, isn't max pain something around there?

Keep buying

Did my part early this morning .... grabbed 50 shares. Looking to add another 100 on the way up.

I sold some of my long standing AAPL early this week to free up some dry powder ... it was a move I'd been planning for a while as I feel AAPL is still a fantastic stock but it's exponential growth is behind them .... TSLA on the other hand ... well you already know!!!

Cheers to the longs .... (not totally confident my buy this morning will look as good by the close but I don't care ... let's look at it in 3 years and I'm pretty confident I will be very happy with the buy! )

My only concern is that if people have their brokerage accounts down 30-50%, they'd hesitate a bit more on a 50k car unless they really needed it.

Why do you think significant numbers of people will have brokerage accounts down 30-50%. Yes, it's possible if the Coronavirus goes crazy but it doesn't look like that will be the case. People who sold in fear at the bottom and then shorted the market as it rose could be down that much but who does that? Probably not people who would buy a Tesla anyway.

It looks like the SP500 is only down 9.25% since the beginning of the year and 13% off its all-time high.

I actually think thats good though. a weekend where people cannot trade, and the press will eventually talk itself out of all the excitement. The first time they get to unravel their exciting scrolling BREAKING NEWS with scary images of a scientists or a dude in a hazmat outfit...it gets clicks and views, but after day X people start wondering about the baseball scores or whats on netflix.

People bore quickly, and the constant OMG VIRUS headlines only draw heads for X days. 2 days of a closed market is exactly what we need to restore some long term thinking.

So..if that makes sense, monday should open definitely up, so I'd say the smart money buys at close today.

S Carolina primary on Saturday and others on Super Tuesday should help provide new fodder to media and they will move on from COVID fear mongering. I hopeful for markets to stabilize over weekend.

Elon is more successful than ever because it’s not money that motivates him, it’s saving helping humanity.

FTFY. Elon is amazing but there are limits as to what is possible for one man to do!

 

[LJS22]

Probably picking up some shares late today. Hoping that the weekend brings good news. I’d mess with the options but Tesla’s are out of wack still haha shares are safe

 

[TheTalkingMule]

Have an order in selling put @ $82 for Jan2022 at $450 strike. Perfectly happy paying $45k at any time for 100 TSLA shares and I plan to close the position when I can buy puts for $25 in May/June of this year as SP crosses $900.

That's sound logic, right?

Was it on autopilot when this happened? Would the same thing happen if autopilot was NOT engaged?

Aren’t they trying to get rid of as many inventory cars as they can before LRplus comes out?

Breaking news: corona sales plummeted in us. People said they think it might have something to do with the virus, but were not certain.

This was on a local newspaper here..

Looking here in Florida, the only inventory cars with $1K off have more than 1,000 miles on the odometer.

This looks like normal pricing to me.

How is Carnival Cruise Lines stock actually up 3% today in this situation? This market makes no sense!
