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

[new_sneakers]

I won’t be trading on this, but last time Ron Baron was scheduled on tv to talk about Tesla, if Jim Cramer is to be believed, the hedge funds took advantage of the positive sentiment predictably created by it before dropping the price from $960 to $880 in no time flat. This drop was in the last hour of trading. We will be in a similar position *next Monday* (although that was at the end of a weeks-and-weeks-long bull run) so we will see if they try the same trick twice (again, if this was what happened).

(Edited to change date to next Monday (thanks @vikings123 ) add time of price drop and difference of long, stale bull run)

I remember that. I'm watching carefully with concerns for my covered calls. No Ron yet though ...

Was Ron Baron supposed to go on CNBC at 8 am EST?

My apologies, apparently he will be on CNBC on June 8th 8 AM, so next Monday.

No worries, thanks for updating!

CNBC...

Another ship at Pier 80. Do you think this will be the last for this quarter?

Makes me wonder if SeekingAlpha has figured out a way to game CNBC’s inbound syndication feed to monopolize the list of links. Or is CNBC just dumb.

Yes, unless the next one can fly.

Good start to the day, I do say.

It took just 11 min to get to 2.00M shares traded. That's good volume. SP is $868.71 as I write this, after a brief dip to tickle the Upper-BB at $854.38

EDIT: 4.0M shares traded in the 1st half hour, SP $875.00
EDIT2: Still trading > 100K shares / min at 10:05 SP $880

Cheers!

I have just finished my posting career after a similar incident. I wish the best for everybody. Good buy.

Hey guys, I love this forum, but when factchecking and Karen were here, it was the no.1 source of great info about Tesla. Now, well, its just slightly entertaining every now and then...

Now here's a thought. Maybe TSLAQ infiltrated the forums' moderation team? It makes perfect sense!

…..except TSLAQ are not usually intelligent enough to do something that strategic!

What is now the #1 source?

 

[cricketman]

Good question

I look across a lot of different sources now, when before I could just come on this thread and get very detailed information very quickly. Plenty of good (and not so good) YouTubers and podcasts etc. But the great thing about this forum is that it is way more reactive during market trading hours

I don't want to put the forum down too much. I still enjoy coming here and like reading everyone's comments, but the level of analysis isn't like it once was.

Depends on whether Tesla wants to keep the delivery wave or not. The factory shutdown, and the transition of producing most of the China demand in China instead of Fremont may have changed their mind.

OT: Having installed Tesla Solar last year, May 2020 was my 1st month where Generated Solar exceeded Electricity consumed. (so zero electric bills).
Lots of sunshine and temp in 70's without having to turn on AC did it, and not much charging of M3 too.
915kWh generated, 720kWh consumed

Paint issues are known for awhile now but someone started a class action lawsuit here.

Tesla Model 3 Paint Issues Cause Lawsuit in Canada

The Tesla Model 3 paint lawsuit was filed in the Province of Quebec Superior Court for the District of Montreal: Jean-François Bellerose, vs. Tesla Canada Vehicles

 

[phantasms]

Finally some defense at about 880.

 

[elasalle]

Looks like TSLA took off and wants to dock at 900

 

[dgodfrey]

Hard to get too excited about this run since NIO is up even more and GM isn't far behind. Doesn't seem as though this has anything to do with SpaceX success.

This yellow stick reminds me of something I've seen recently...
