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

[Prunesquallor]

...
And although I am not a religious person, let us all give a prayer to who or whatever to keep the folks in the path of Hurricane Laura as safe as possible. Little else matters when it comes to potentially losing everything.

Thanks, buddy. Looks like we dodged the bullet on Laura (by ~80 miles). Our neighbors in Port Arthur and Beaumont are in for a rough night.

Everybody in my life is so sick of hearing about TSLA. That’s why I spend so much time here! Love to see the beast eating like this! Congratulations longs

Other than my wife, there's only one person, a close friend, who even knows that I own Tesla stock. It's much simpler that way.

Well I prefer capping a $2100 than at $2000, but there's quite some upward pressure still.

Assuming they've hedged and let $2090 and $2100 slip, there's quite a pile on $2110.

On the other hand, Citadel could dump a million shares 5 minutes before the bell on Friday and it would all be academic...

But why? If they actually own the shares, why dump them?
Different matter if one OWES shares, makes sense to buy some on the cheap.

But what do I know, eh? (only up 300+ % this year )

 

[Artful Dodger]

Have they given up

No.

 

[Rockster]

My enthusiasm for my "real job" is inversely proportional to the TSLA share price. Every time I receive a TDA text alert that TSLA has reached an all time high, I switch over to my personal computer system and catch up on this thread. "I just need a little break from work," I tell myself...

We interrupt all the cheerleading/bad analyst knocking for something investor-related: Autogefühl has a new review of the Raven X Performance, and it's... extremely positive.

I've followed Autogefühl for several years, and specifically their head reviewer Thomas (who is the person conducting this review, and has handled their prior Tesla reviews). They and he are very thorough and fair, and the fact that he's noting so many improvements and is so positive is another great sign that Tesla's manufacturing prowess is in fact improving.

TSLA - making profit takers look stupid since 2019.

Preach, bro! Missed ATH (so far) by 0,69 on a devious profit-taking scheme of my own devices. Oh well.

 

[oldTAVguy]

Not that it matters much...but did anyone notice the walk down from $2166 to $2140 in 2 minutes?

Macros taking a dump.

 

[StarFoxisDown!]

What's really interesting is that this climb, as we've seen in other big up-days, is on really moderate volume.

My interpretation of that is that there're a lot of buyers, but not a lot of sellers.

Yeah volume was very low up until about 10 am when the stock went up another level. But still for the day, pretty low volume on day when there's news(new price target)

Thanks, buddy. Looks like we dodged the bullet on Laura (by ~80 miles). Our neighbors in Port Arthur and Beaumont are in for a rough night.

Best of luck my friend... 80 miles is still way too close for comfort. The combo of the storm and Covid-19 is punishment that no one (or thing) deserves. Take care and hunker down, hope the gist of the storm will be on it's way out of your area by tomorrow afternoon. Although they do a great job, forecasters can only provide an informed best guess, so hope for the best but prepare for the worst.

Is this a chatbox full of giddy teenagers or an investor discussion board? Seriously considering closing the thread for a while if the Gordo jokes and other nonsense don’t stop.

The answer to your question is yes.

I’m starting to understand the term ‘printing money’ now. Thank you for having me! VERY tempted to put down a deposit on a founder’s Roadster.

Note to self when buying an island: must be big enough to have fun on with my founder's Roadster. I guess I will have to hold my TSLA a little bit longer.

Same. I effectively quit a few weeks back, just haven’t told anyone yet

 

[amolina]

Depends on your broker, I buy and sell options from here in Belgium, same as the US, with my Belgian bank.

But you are obviously still playing the american options. your location dont matter. Unfortunately, most of my wealth is tied around in something known as "optionscheinen" rather than the options we are all used to.

Citadel would have to have balls THIS BIG to dump 5 million shares just before close with no ah trading till monday when the stock opens at 1/5th price.
I am still trying to piece together why AH buying will not be allowed during that extended time period. It seems that there is a very good reason for TSLA to have that down time. And it isn't just to make sure someone divided by five instead of 4, is it?
Some data, some movement, some psychological triggers? sumpin'?
And as to today's opening move to $2100+. The MM's did not wake up thinking it was Friday afternoon. They have some real information, or another harvesting play, or they are deep in shhhhhhugar. This big bump to $2100 is going to get some attention from other segments.
And no one can tell me sugar as to why they popped it to $2100, and then put the chains on it.
?
Not even after it happened...volume was not there this morning. Heck it is after 1PM and less than 7 million shares have traded. And the price is controlled right at 2100+/-.

Yes and No.
I guess that guilty MMs know perfectly well that they have to produce actual, bona fide stock (as exclusively issued by Tesla) post-split for everything they have sold as a "virtual IOU" and are getting increasingly desperate to find such actual shares before they run out of stock in a very embarrassing way and end up locked in the humiliating stock getting spat at by the entire congregation, as it were (and actually was, in Luther's days).

Cutoff is market close this Friday. Or else:

Tar & feathers time.

My interpretation, thanks to the smarts on this site. <3

 

[Artful Dodger]

It's cool if we end the week at 2199 in my book. Then "after hours announcement" of inclusion on Friday can push it to $2400.

Edit. It's not cool in my book? I guess I need to look again.

Lol, it's not that your book isn't cool, it's that ur reading from the wrong book.

There is NO After-market session for TSLA on Fri Aug 28 and also NO Pre-market session on Mon, Aug 31.

If TSLA Closes at $2,199 on Friday, then it will Open at exactly $439.80 on Monday (Fri SP/5 = Mon SP). So your 'Friday after hours push' literally can not happen...

Mind you, it can go up again starting Monday at 09:30 which I expect it to do regardless of any S&P announcement. The lower stock price due to the split will unleash latent buying interest, and momentum traders will join in the frenzy as per usual.

Cheers!

I saw Gordon Johnson on Yahoo Finance several years ago - spouting the same line about TSLA. However, he was working for a different company at the time. I remember that he got fired from his job in the past year or so and founded his own company, I guess, so he can't get fired. On one of his interviews he was asked about his TSLA track record and he said something about recommending shorting TSLA when it was $100 (or something like that). The interviewer asked whether he shorted TSLA at that time, and I think he said yes. Did I dream all of this, or is my memory faulty or reasonably intact? If I am correct, imagine being a loyal client of Johnson all these years and HODL the short position. Investing with Bernie Madoff would be a better investment - you only lost 100% of your investment.

 

[mikevbf]

What type of music do we play if TSLA closes at a market cap over 400 Billion?

 

[Nocturnal]

Avoiding the more tin foil hat type battery day speculation, one piece of data that is very important I think is that Elon really wanted it to be held in person at the factory. We are going to be seeing something concrete for sure, it won't just be a PowerPoint.

Lol, it's not that your book isn't cool, it's that ur reading from the wrong book.

I can see where my comment wasn't clear. I am aware of that one. It's the announcement I was calling as "after hours".

 

[Big Time]

I guess I’ve done something wrong and posts deleted. Don’t know how to tell which one got deleted. Not trying to anger admins I can tone it down.

Was it the obese jokes?
