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

[bubb]

Sure is fun to debate all this crap but the question remains: Many investors want to know the detailed plan to reopen Fremont safely, and whether or not they are in active negotiations with the county and state regarding their plan. Or is the entire strategy to call them facists and engage in twitter sing-a-long?

Just got a memo saying TMC ran out of disagrees last night. A fresh new batch has been ordered.

I'll take the entire new batch, and can you please assign all of them to @azaz - that will save me a huge amount of time. Thanks!

reports that Elon's twitter was hacked

Lol, there's a 'Rodney Dangerfield' joke in there somewhere:

"Somebody stole my credit card last week."

"Did you report it stolen?"

"No, the thief is spending less than my wife".​

Cheers!

Just need to know if Elon will be with Tesla after this. I’ll buy more shares if I could get a guarantee

If the short-sellers had their way, Elon would be gone in a NY minute!

Fortunately, only real shareholders get to vote for the CEO. In other words, Elon's not going anywhere. Thankfully!

Sorry if posted but Rob Maurer has a quick take on Musk's 'price is too high tweet.' I found it helpful.

It saddens me to inform that I also have got out of TSLA. I stayed put when the stock was on its way down to 360. I laughed at shorts and CNBC for their feeble attempts at detracting the company. I defended Elon's skepticism of our current response to COVID and still do. But, for me to see him deliberately tank it to accomplish nothing, it hurt. I sold because I felt many other long-term investors were doing the same and that hurt so much more than the typical manipulation. The biggest problem is there was just so, so many ways he could get his point across and yet he chose the most damaging one to the people who have his back through this entire thing. I love Elon Musk but I'm deeply hurt by what he chose to do today.

So, you think when Fremont and Buffalo open back up, G Berlin opens up in 2021, 5th factory breaks ground, Megapack projects execute and 1000 roofs a week are being installed etc. etc. things won't line up?

You're worried about a few month's during an arguably force majeure and even had a quick ride up to $882 in after hours and now your bailing? and the rest of you? About a couple of tweets?

Get real... real long...

and...

Fire Away!

So the only question left is “does Elon want to be in charge of Tesla anymore?”

The value of this forum has been on the decline but today it's worthless. I'm taking a break. It's clear there is no room for any opinion aside from "everything is perfect put all your cash in TSLA and trust Elon 100%". Reminds me of the opposite of TSLAQ.

I still own the exact same number of shares as I did before the drop (will buy more). I didn’t buy on margin. No different than buying something else that fluctuates in price. None of it truly matters until you want to convert to cash. I certainly don’t celebrate or freak when my home value changes. Doesn’t matter till you sell.

You don't know my financial situation. Maybe I need to sell next week? There are thousands of other stocks out there, maybe I want to rebalance? This nonsense that paper losses triggered by an idiotic tweet are meaningless is ridiculous. And despite some notions, options trading is still investing.

So the only question left is “does Elon want to be in charge of Tesla anymore?”

I fear the answer may be no.

You must have an odd definition of "obviously" because you have no idea what is really going on here.

If you do then feel free to enlighten us. I see an erratic CEO dipping back into how he was before the past year of stability and it concerns me. ​

This is an own goal for the ages.

Games not over, bubb. This was just the 2nd chucker. 4 more to go.

I'll probably regret it in a few months or a few weeks. I'm an Elon Musk believer. No matter what happened in the world, I always felt like he's the one constant that will get us where we need to be. Today I questioned that belief.

 

[MaskOff]

> Elon musk will regret this!

lol

 

[Zero CO2]

because I need to diversify in the face of less certainty.

oh you did not say that 100% of your portfolio in TSLA ... assumed you had proper diversification

a little thicker skin is needed here. please don't leave because others might disagree. it's a great forum to banter ideas and support for a cause we all believe in. perfectly fine to not agree on issues, imo. your opinions are valuable here.

Exactly. Not sure yet if he's having a breakdown, is under the influence, simply making a point, trying to force someone's hand, or what.

It would be nice if he'd just articulate his thoughts in a blog post or an interview. It would help us understand where exactly his head is at rather than these outbursts which can be taken in so many different ways.

 

[Nate the Great]

I think he is selling his properties so he can lead by example. Basically, he asked everyone to take a pay cut of some sort. This is him removing some excess and using those funds elsewhere. (being helpful). Similar to helping a town with problematic drinking water.

I am realizing based on today's unhinged posts we have very few investors on this Investment thread

who am i kidding ... there are very few investors in general .. mostly gamblers/traders... not that there is anything wrong with that ... holding tight for my sub $500 limit buy orders

 

[DriveMe]

Live now:

 

[Bet the House]

Longs: I'm in Tesla long term

Also Longs: I just lost tons of money in the last 2 hours

Also Longs: When the share price gets to $XXX I can sell some shares and buy a Tesla!

I was one of those longs and fortunately already have two Teslas. Today didn't help that second statement for anyone that was waiting.
