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

[StealthP3D]

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.

Haha, yes! I just sold another 7% at $483 and our brokerage account is STILL well over 50% TSLA. But I think we are at a good amount of TSLA now.

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.

why not sell calls instead?

A better question is what year do we expect VW or a Chinese OEM to buy Ford for pennies on the dollar.

Politicians in DC won't like it but preferable to all Ford and Ford dealer employees losing their job.

Why would a Chinese OEM or any other OEM (presumably EV makers, as ICE makers will be spiraling down along with Ford) want anything from Ford besides the name and the blue oval?

It’s not like dealerships in anything like their current form will have a viable business model in an EV dominated vehicle market. No amount of political wishing-will-it-make-so is going to change that.

I think if we close anywhere near where we are now, the FOMO will just intensify tomorrow. In other words newer FOMO retail players will brag to their friends and family about today's spike up, and some of said F&F will buy-in tomorrow to join the party.

If I didn't expect TSLA to get added to S&P 500 during the September rebalance and Battery Day wasn't coming up on 9/22, I think I would be selling 10% of our holdings at this level to lock in some huge $467/share gains in one of our non-taxable accounts - hoping to buy back additional shares during the next opportunity if any. The way things are going, we might be at $550 by Battery Day! It is only +15% from here in 3 weeks LOL.

I know these are somewhat personalized, but this is the first time I've seen "TSLA" the stock symbol trending on Twitter:

Retail fomo has got to be off the charts. I'm sitting on a nice chunk of Tesla and even I'm feeling it.

 

[SunCatcher]

Just crossed the multi-Teslanaire line. I don't know if it will hold but it feels so good right now.

The journey from March 19 to being furloughed to today cannot be put into words. Very hard to contain myself. Good thing my wife is not in the house.

I'd love to be able to see the look on her face as she, expecting bad news, hears you say "Honey, have a seat. I've got something to tell you..."

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.

I call those "FUD candles"!

 

[Big Time]

Any Recommendations on IRAs?

Not a fan of fee's.....

 

[ninpb]

I can't think about selling with Q3, battery day, S&P, pig brain mode looming.

My portfolio is 100% Tesla and I still feel like I'm missing out What is this disease!

Got burnt extra crispy last time I tried that on Tesla.

You might not be so dismissive if you knew Ford had patented using an 8-ball as the handle on the gear shift lever! /s

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

DO you have the Schwab street smart edge application?

Let's see...
- Large number of investors who are 100% in TSLA
- Embarrassing moment for traditional brokers and their decrepit IT infrastructure
- Huge trading volume

A perfect moment for Tesla to open its own brokerage, where one can only trade TSLA and its derivatives.
Is that legal?

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

It does seem rather incredible that so many established platforms could be experiencing trouble executing a rather mundane stock split. To me, it lends some credence to the naked short selling theory - these platforms have tried to reconcile the stock after the split and something weird probably turned up.

Sweet. I'm at 42%.

I never bothered to even try out the Schwab Street Smart trading application because their standard brokerage account software works fine for my style of buy/hold investing. It has been working flawlessly today and my orders were clearing basically instantly and with good prices.

Follow that with "Its not you....its me....."
