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

[Open Interest]

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

So what I’m seeing is unadjusted? Makes sense.

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

I had to use my phone.. got a few calls. But only 45minuter after market opened.

I'm showing 59,806,000 shares traded today on the Fidelity Active Trader Pro Experience.

Elon's compensation package requires the company to meet certain operational goals in addition to the corresponding share price targets in order to be awarded.

In other words, simply "juicing" the share price will not unlock anything if production and revenue goals are not met.

It looks like it paid off to wait until today to balance my portfolio. Sold a bit under 15% of my TSLA this morning for $463 and $468. I fully expect these shares will be worth more in the future but this was was a good time for me to de-risk and re-balance a stock portfolio that was almost entirely TSLA.

That was so thoughtful of you, @StealthP3D ! Making tons of profit so that new retail investors could share in the TSLA story!! Seriously, I think you were wise to diversify a bit.

It wont be adjusted, meet the new reality. Its number of shares traded.. right?

In the UK public transport usage is down, and might never recover. Journeys switching from public transport to cars have more than cancelled out less commuting and shopping trips (I don't know whether shopping trips have actually decreased in the UK). So COVID-19 seems to have had little effect on car usage, and has lead to a (temporary?) surge in car buying to replace public transport.

The people using cars may have changed.

Some people probably sold their old cars due to money problems, working from home, switching to one car per family. Companies probably sold used fleet cars, ditto lease companies.

Used cars (motorbikes?) are probably in higher demand, so are bicycles and presumably electric bikes.

I don't think many new ICEs were bought compared to pre-Covid. I suspect more EV car demand than before.

I think there has been both usage and demand changes. Really hard to know details, London may have changed dramatically. I think though that ICE sales have and will fall. OEMs will have loads to sell, they will make less profit than before. As profits are often low, maybe negative anyway (relying on car parts), reducing new ICE car prices will hurt them.

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

IBKR is holding steady.

Popular trading platforms TD Ameritrade, Robinhood, others face outages as Tesla and Apple stocks split

RH apparently has issues as well as many others.

also the site that someone generously pointed out earlier may provide some insight
Downdetector

So this is why you option gamblers are so addicted.
Mine is up so much my finger is hovering over the sell to close button!

Exactly, taking profit is by far the most difficult part!

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

TSLA is hotter..and you want to make some more's.

Damnit vanguard, I want to buy some stuff.

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

Is the bed water tight? Music videos and pimp my ride always put jacuzzies back there.

 

[SunCatcher]

Let me see if I can help things out a bit here...

 

[lafrisbee]

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

a Manx will bludgeon your Kitten with its short tail. And you feel about as nasty as a big breasted exhibitionist with a bead fetish at Mardi Gras.

Sold a few $600 strike calls for this week and see them in the red. You're welcome!

That’s what I thought....but was corrected up thread. So we are actually seeing upwards of 50M

That was showing on my Fidelity Active Trader Pro as well. When I see stuff like that it often happens after my laptop has been asleep. Usually things are re-examined correctly after you restart the app.
I closed and re-started my FATP and it was gone. <phew>

Today I saw $295... WOW!!! Nearly $2500 in the old money.

My guess.. split is done, nothing major stockwise - except battery day, delivery numbers etc.

nothing S&P500 care about.. but the split might just have been something they wanted over with first.

I've got my limit order set to sell 100 shares @ $500/sh. Come and get it, if you want it.

BTW, feels good to trade in whole lots again.
