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

[bhtooefr]

And this is why, when I closed out some calls, I didn't buy TSLA stock right away.

TT has "stormed out" of TMC at least 6-8 times in the past. He will be back. Comparing him to Fact Checking and KarenRei is insulting to them. They have provided an infinite amount of more useful analysis and information than him.

Well, he's banned, so...

Has there seriously ever been a stock as volatile as this???

At this market cap? I can't think of another. But this happened during that run up to 900 too and signaled the local top. We'll probably consolidate around here for awhile now.

what caused the macro's to take a dump?

Where else can you get 6 to 7 figure portfolio swings in a matter of 40 minutes? Truly not for the weak!!

 

[mejojo]

You don’t.
Not if you buy and hold, anyway.

Impossible to buy and hold options. I mean....you CAN....I was actually trying to.....but they got so DEEP DEEP DEEP ITM that it could not make any sense to hold. So I pay 17% more tax on some income than if I waited until next year, and I got to redeploy and make a sugar-ton more, far eclipsing that 17%.

Guess I bought too many QQQ puts.

wow, this reminds me Feb 4 2020. How many of you jumped in buying and get hurt?

It's been pretty hard to "get hurt" buying TSLA as a long-term investment at any point in time since their inception. Today is the only exception if you want to take a really narrow view.

Now selling, that is a different story! There have been numerous opportunities to get burned by SELLING Tesla through their entire existence. This is why I believe in being a long (not just with TSLA but in general). Because I would rather float downstream than attempt to swim against the current!

OK, so looking at the NASDAQ, looks like the macro drop in NAS triggered the selloff/profit taking, which was likely aided by MMs and shorts.

ya just don't know about TSLA. Somebody does, but ya just don't know...

not even 2 hours ago i was in awe of the organization that controls TSLA stock... and they flexed even harder

 

[Chunky Jr.]

Seem to be following NASDAQ closely. AMZN, AAPL, MSFT for example are all following the same trajectory as TSLA

They decide who lives or dies I guess. All we can do is go along for the ride. In the end, big money controls the markets. Small fish like us, we swim with the whales and sharks and try to not get eaten.

Meh! Hope all you ‘I’m too sexy for all this money’ are happy now.

 

[StealthP3D]

What the hell just happened?

Hey, you gotta problem with the $1500's?

 

[Unpilot]

The aircraft carrier people are getting tired of me reordering and cancelling my order.

 

[kanweg]

Well, a bit of a bummer. But at least I have seen what the future looks like with my own eyes.

 

[StealthP3D]

I hope that's not a serious question.

 

[Unpilot]

And back up the mountain we go!

 

[traxila]

Shaking out weak longs. I’m sure a lot of investors new to TSLA sold out of panic. They haven’t been hardened like us. $250 drops don’t even phase me anymore. I’m completely desensitized.

LOL wish I could say the same.

Broke out in a cold sweat for sure.

Gambled with 100K in July 31 calls on the way down.

They look terrible right now.

Although much better than 2 minutes ago.
