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

[Nocturnal]

I wanted to close some calls and I can't WTF

yeah I wasn't surprised that RH failed back in Spring, but really annoyed that Vanguard is acting so wonky.

IBKR is holding steady.

 

[Chunky Jr.]

Up 77% since the split announcement.

I wouldn't be surprised if Amazon and Google are considering doing splits after seeing what happened to AAPL and TSLA.

Weird...

Sounds like Robinhood has new software running their operations while the others have old legacy code which is more cumbersome to update.

Perhaps RH needed new code to make their business model work.

Or they couldn't afford the mainframes and COBOL programmers that the other use. (And I believe it's legacy COBOL, not modern COBOL).

In a presentation I delivered on EVs, I researched the development of the steam engine. James Watt had the patent/license (?) designed to exclude the use of Steam in any form of transportation and vigorously pursued any violations. Only in the US, far from the European laws did Fulton adapt a stationary steam engine to power a boat (a patent violation) and get away with it. Not a patent atty so this is likely somewhat mis-informed.

In that era the US was stealing IP at a rate that would make China blush today. (Wasn't called stealing IP in those days, just "I don't give a damn about your patent and you can't do anything about it anyway.")

FYI, if you have sell or buy orders, at least on eTrade, they have not been recalculated. You need to manually change them.

I recently developed this habit of taking screenshots of my portfolio value in my broker's mobile app at the end of each trading day to record its daily appreciation... in other words, how much richer I became every up day (so basically every trading day). The fact that this ridiculous habit cannot be satisfied this week gives me a lot of anxiety!

Instead of screenshots, I found the best way for me is to have a GoogleSheet that mimics my trading account. This way, i have near-realtime portfolio value and exact personal daily/history trending and snapshots.

This also removes the temptation to daytrade for quick gain since the buy/sell button is not available. I lost a lot of shares because of constantly logging in to try and time the market.

My Schwab account has been working fine this morning.

 

[engle]

WTF are these bizarre candles I'm seeing?

My family is standing around the Tesla chart now instead of the campfire like in the "old" days.

 

[Lessmog]

See. Everyone wants to do what I do. I’m the newest Internet trendsetter and influencer. And it’s why I didn’t get the island (yet), but instead bought a mountain. In classic terms that’s called a head fake.

Depends on locale.
If your mountain is surrounded by low terrain it may soon become an island.
Win-win!

 

[Open Interest]

Volume is unbelievable!! Wow

  Bottom line is you can log in but it takes awhile. Other than slowness, the numbers seem to be correct. Pending sell orders look correct (but it needs to get much higher than $500 before they trigger I don't have any options or stuff, so I can't speak for those.

Man, now I'm not sure that my 3k 9/18 calls are safe. #TSLA problems

Edit, I'm also glad that the companies that make sure our economy is moving are operating on old Commodore 64s.

 

[Krugerrand]

seems like an Island person like yourself would have a Manx Profile Photograph. Why not? (Plus they are one of the most badass cats.)

Not feeling shorten tailed right now, feeling kitten mean and nasty right now.

Something something Twitter Shaq wants a big boy Tesla. It would be awesome to see Shaq riding round in a Tesla semi.

 

[Runarbt]

Volume is unbelievable!! Wow

I think it has been boosted 5x - But still high.

 

[Open Interest]

My Schwab account has been working fine this morning.

I’m going to walk this back. I’m able to log in, unable to trade at this time.

 

[Nocturnal]

Damnit vanguard, I want to buy some stuff.

Cybertruck will be THE car of choice for the Athlete/musician crowd.
