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

[Nocturnal]

I sold covered calls again today. I was a little worried that the incredible climb we have seen since the stock split announcement has been short covering that will resume with gusto on Monday. If I was going to keep working, it wouldn't matter, but I wanted to pad my retirement account without selling shares. Sold Sept 22 for 4200 strike. I already have 1/3 of my shares tied up in Jan 22 3500 calls, so I only did another 1/6, so half my shares are still liquid. This will easily get me through financially to Sept 2022. By then I expect the SP to be around 4,000/800, so I didn't want to sell more covered calls even though the premiums are awesome. Full self driving software will be out by the end of this year per Elon. Combine that with three new factories running by 2022 and the SP could be well over 5000/1000 in two years. If we spike over 3500/700 this year I will be able to sell some of my shares to buy some really cool toys.

That really makes me wish I had early access. There are a few guys in my local club that do though so I'll probably bribe them to take me out and demo it.

>> Interesting! But which of these prices will then be divided by 5?

All of them.

Two observations - firstly, that's some crummy room she's in - it's like a $TSLAQ cellar, secondly, she hasn't done her make-up compared to recent appearances, certainly missing the lip-gloss... Conclusion, she's been abducted by bears...

Cool. Please let us know what it's like when you do.

Gigafactory Berlin:

Lots of progress, drive unit building almost complete, body in white area now partially roofed, paintshop progressing slowly (which explains why it was started first), pillars for general assembly being erected, press and casting both have partial foundations.

Gigafactory Berlin overview:

I assume that the after hours are just transactions that are still going through the clearing house. There is probably a system rule in place along the lines of "If Trade origination time < 4:00PM EST then allow to execute."


See above. Finally, my hours spent working on design documents and testing interfaces has come in handy.

Are we in 1995, running overnight crontabs, or something?

 

[Big Earl]

Pre-orders can still be imput by traders on Monday before the opening.

I presume that Order Book data will be visible to those who have access to Level 2 quotes.

Perhaps one of our members will share them?

Cheers!

13,000 shares on the bid side vs 51,000 shares on the ask.

What did Elon say about building factories? Faster, Cheaper Better with each new one i think!

I would not be surprised if these systems are all ancient.

 

[Tslynk67]

OK, I'm off to bed, before I pass-out on the kitchen floor.

Wishing you all a fab weekend, here's to MONDAY, ONWARDS AND UPWARDS (sort of)!!

I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING!!!!! The cabinet door above her head to her left that is slightly open was driving me crazy! Is that her place? I expected someone like her to be stupid rich with Trump like gold sh#t everywhere....

P.S. - I would still switch from Catholic to Mormon is she would move to Utah and agree to become my second wife....

 

[Joe F]

The 5 shares I put an order in for just hit. Yay me, another 25 for Monday.

Lets see how low this puppy goes...

I like Tasha Keeney but she really missed the boat when asked what to expect on Battery Day. She didn't even mention the two most important things: lower costs and the huge production ramp.

How tall do you have to be to reach that cabinet above that door?

Oh well, it gives us something to watch while we wait for the 5:15PM S&P inclusion/not S&P inclusion
