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

[HG Wells]

The whole market has gone quiet waiting on the FED.

Is there a problem with VTIQ (nikola) charting? Not showing up and getting an error message. Falling too fast?

haha see I wasn't the only one checking in on it.

Isn't the ticker now NKLA?

Actually Moores law stopped working for CPUs in computers.

Notice how it's always a few years out.

Note to self: Next time Elon says too expensive, buy the dip on margin.

But he doesn't say "too expensive" he says "the price is too high". The first is valuation, the second is how much a person can purchase a share for. A 4:1 or 5:1 split would put it in range of many investors. Yes, there are fractional shares but not everyone can access those.

Thanks as always Curt. But has that supposed email been validated yet... by anyone?

Yes, by Elon replying on twitter to a direct question.

 

[Causalien]

Allright. It was a good day.Reached one of my earlier "impossible to reach stock price of $1000"
I sold about 1/3 of my long term position. Bringing my total holding back down to the level before COVID 19 appeared.

Dipped my toe in the water with some LEAPs today with money harvested from covered calls. Let the tanking commence.

This aged well.

Anyone who has been upgrading their computers every year for the last 20 years or so can tell that it has stopped working unless you ignore the price factor.

CNBC - TSLA $470's - April 2:

He only says maximum short, he doesn't disclose the amount. He's bragging. could be a 1000 dollar short, depends on where his maximum is. But hell what is he bad for his clients....

Chanos' nervous laugh 12 seconds into that interview is very telling, creepy even. He's "analyzed" himself into a corner he can't get out of.

Earlier you said you don't Short anything based on principle?
So how does one take advantage of frothy market? What Asset class is best option?

Ya. You can always buy via tripple bear or reverse direction ETF. But this is stretching it a bit and I absolutely would not do it unless it's an emergency protection for COVID 19.

You can short by buying the sector opposing it, it is not directly correlated bug good enough. Or find a stock that is inversely correlated and buy that.
As for what asset class is the best option for frothy market. Traditionally it has been the real estate and gold market that benefit right around the top of a bubble. I admit I am preparing some cash for the RE sector just in case it does implode.

I think Lyncathrope is the designated prophet right now. Maybe he can chip in. After all, I am retired and just rambling like an old man and I got my coronavirus thread so all is good.
