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

[Silent Ludicrosy]

I’ve agreed with every post you’ve made today, including this one, yet can’t find the strength to sell like I should. Any pointers? lol

Then sell calls.

I thought the same thing 3 weeks ago, and paid for it. It may very well come to fruition, but you have to imagine how would feel if the stock appreciated significantly instead. When would you cut your "losses" and buy back in at a higher price?

My newly gained experience is that it's too stressful to be in that situation, and not worth it for trying to get some short term gains.

For less than 10% of your position, that wouldn't be a big deal though

Has anyone bought more today?

I sold ~15% of my shares because 1) sp is nearing all-time high despite the covid situation 2) latest autopilot update videos demonstrate that FSD in the near term is a pipe dream and ) musk is dialing up the crazy dial on Twitter.

There's little room to go up in the short term so I'm thinking that we will go down or hover around the same level. Will probably buy back after a couple of weeks or months, even if I'm wrong and the sp goes up. Would have sold 25% if the European market had stayed open longer.

For those on the forum with long term experience with TSLA, I would love hear your perspective on this Twitter controversy. I'm hoping to look at the bigger picture above the noise and passion of the moment.

I know he has tweeted controversial things in the past, but "Elon Musk" is now the top trending term in my region, and it is a little bit demoralizing to see so many people jump on the hating Elon bandwagon without thinking about what he is trying to accomplish with regard to a sustainable future.

I think for the most part, people will forget about this in a short amount of time, and they are just generally upset and looking for someone to vent their frustrations on. Does anyone think this has a bearing on the long-term future of the company?

Elon's tweets have convinced me now, more than ever, that he needs to go. I, for one, will not buy another Tesla after his BS today. He doesn't remotely care about anyone but himself and the bottom line. It's appalling...

No, it doesn't look as if it's a great investment.

Sarcasm?

Sarcasm?

Absolutely not and I'm stunned people think my post is funny... You people think infecting and killing innocent people is funny? Really...???

Call me biased from the poor side, but those all seem to almost exclusively benefit the richer side of Americans. Not many poor people play golf or tennis, have gardeners or landscapers, richer classes are smaller, and construction may seem more all--but it's the richer neighborhoods who tend to get their streets worked on sooner and more often.

I can see the reasoning behind it--those activities are notably further distance-based than, say, football--but still. I can see some people bringing up these "rich privileges" being excepted when they can't do their own ones. Hopefully the order details the basis behind these exceptions (such as the distance between tennis partners) and not just names them.

I had almost the exact opposite reaction. That work activities that have a lesser risk of transmitting the disease are OK. Landscapers, greens keepers, etc. can go back to work.

I think that some people are just upset with the world in general, and are predisposed to dislike certain people because they "have it all." They then ignore all positives about a person, and only focus on the things they dislike, all the while outraged that the person is "pretending to be one of us" with quirky memes. They're angry at the world, and choose to focus that anger on someone "beyond reach." Why do you think a lot of celebrities quit social media? They get sick of being targeted again and again, regardless of what they do.

I don't think this will effect Tesla long term at all. It will be routinely brought up after this, like the pedo guy tweets, but the majority of people who have an impact on Tesla--or who are impacted by them, like the workers--will just ignore it and continue on their way.

the tweets he made were stupid. they cheer on and side with idiot extreme right-wingers, and piss off huge swaths of potential EV buyers and Tesla fans.

There was no appreciable gain here, only loss. He could have said nothing, and/or stuck to his usual Twitter persona: alternating being goofy, and bragging about SpaceX/Tesla. These tweets were neither. They were stupid, both from a content perspective and an overall strategy perspective.

or maybe he realizes there will be more deaths from starvation and other issues if we don't get the economy back to work. I feel for every person effected by the 50k+ deaths but at some point people must get back to work or we will end up w bigger issues than COV19. just my 2 cents and long ways from the intelligence of Elon.

I can totally get behind his message of "reopen with care & appropriate protection". But "free america now"?
I bought share during "funding secured", loaded more during "pedo guy", bought all the way down to $180 per share.

I continue to support Tesla's mission and I understand Tesla is bigger than Elon himself. But I don't fully trust him anymore, since he allowed himself into an echo chamber based on his belief and a series of flawed study and incomplete data. He lost his first principle and evident based thinking. So I need to lower my exposure to Tesla from a dangerously high percentage of my money to "just another investment".

nobody who trades stocks seriously cares what is said on twitter. the impact on the business: ZERO. People are glossing over how many likes and retweets his tweets got...

Thank you. While I'll admit my reaction is far more extreme than yours, it serves an important point. This isn't the first time Elon has been irresponsible and reckless on Twitter and it won't be the last.
