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

[homer214]

“We’ve got a CEO who, for want of a better word is irrepressible.” Bullish AF

“He needs a certain amount of repression” Wow. Government repression does not have a good ring to it.

Cramer is precious. He and the SEC are such paragons of virtue and guardians of capitalism, of course.

Not everyone is a patient. One afternoon can be a long time when you are bored.

Edit: For anyone acting surprised:
- Today's pre-market drop was smaller, than yesterday's initial reaction in the after market.
- FUD's impact is felt the hardest when the FUD is released during market hours and the bots are tricked into it.
- Last time FUD was released we recovered in a day or so.

What is up with this stock? +0,96%, are you kidding me? LOL! Did some trading bot misread headlines in reverse?

 

[Artful Dodger]

Truly bizarre. Flabbergasted really. Bought a weekly put for funsies this morning. Lost $100. No filet mignon tonight, just ramen noodles...

Broke $300 @ 11:27 EST

Analysts see Musk's SEC battle weighing on Tesla shares — CNBC

So far not looking like it.....ha!

 

[Remus]

No they are claiming their vehicle is more efficient than a Model X.
A model 3 is as well.

I repeat myself but the Chinese chemical industry can't produce pure enough compound for generic drugs. Cells from China usually come with much bigger variation than those from Japan or Korea. It's really really haeh for me to believe they can have higher efficient cells than Tesla.

Whole car efficiency is another story, many cars from China are match boxes with horrible safety.
Those cars can be built much lighter. They spend their entire life stuck in 20mph traffic anyway

My headlines are almost ALWAYS negative with Tesla...it is almost as if someone had an agenda...is there a agency that looks out for investors?

It's almost as if those paragons of journalistic integrity have a different set of rules for companies that don't advertise on their platforms....

In America? Surely you jest.

So now that we are green, what are you going to do, shorts?

The irony here is that the very institution you are sleeping with (the sec), which is suppose to engineer a negative day for Tesla is now seemingly setting you up for a tiny squeeze.

Let’s face it. If you shorted this morning, you’re trapped! Tesla is producing at a highly efficient clip, the China & US tariff deals are likely going to happen, the SEC case will likely be thrown out by the judge (which could also set the sec back from attacking Tesla/Elon due to further embarrassment and possible loss of one’s career as this case is now made too public and evident that both you and the sec has a hard on for Musk and [pun intended]—longs).

 

[MXWing]

The more shorts piss me off here the more I’m going to buy on more margin tomorrow.

Keep talking I’m loading.

Ahahahahhah @ cockroaches coming in yesterday to feast on your nothing burgers.

Losers.

Driving around in my 3P wonder machine is going to be even sweeter today than usual.

This is advice:

Never ever sell your Tesla core positions. Internal Elon volatility can and will affect balances.

Trading shares however to take arbitrage days like yesterday is recommended and also satisfying.

Seriously, what an amazing bear trap! And right before the convertible repayment. And right before the European registration numbers really start taking off. And right as GF3 is starting to appear out of the ground at an amazing speed. And right before February US deliveries, which will almost assuredly be better than January. And probably relatively shortly before the MY unveil gets announced.

Cramer is an unpleasant little man who does not sleep at night and hates himself.

That just about sums it up for Jim.

i don't trade a lot ... i got heavily invested in TSLA because i'm a huge fan of the actual product. my experience owning this stock and paying attention to how it's advised and traded has been incredibly harrowing and disturbing. not for my long TSLA position, but for every other position in my portfolio that i don't happen research obsessively on a daily basis. I can't believe how completely wrong almost all the available experts are on such a consistent basis.

extending this experience to other stocks and funds would lead me to believe that researching an investment would only decrease my ability to project its future performance. like, literally negative correlation between the accuracy of my perception and the amount of public information i consume about it. this is bad for capitalism, bad for democracy, and bad for humanity.

sure, there's a tipping point -- once you become immersed in a subject deep enough, the nonsense becomes easy to spot, but nobody has the bandwidth to live their actual life while becoming a true expert on every single investment they make. i mean, that's what mutual fund managers, analysts, and the media are supposed to obviate. instead, they are doing the opposite and making it more of a requirement than ever.

i've always played by the assumptions drilled into me by my father -- chief among these, maintain a broad, diverse portfolio to mitigate risk. this experience, though, is starting to convince me that the real risk is trusting anything other than my own primary research.
