Would anyone with experience be so kind as to draft a template complaint letter, which we shareholders could submit to the various authorities and/or regulatory bodies?FINRA Short Selling Report for Thu, Sep 03, 2020
"Short Exempt Volume" a.k.a. Market Maker's naked shorting was 9.57% of "Short Volume", which ranks at the 126th Percentile (very unlikely to occur by chance).
Note in the table below yesterday's "Naked Sht" ranking has been revised to the 105th Percentile:

As predicted yesterday, with 'Uptick Rule' in effect today, Naked Short Selling was extremely high again. The next FINRA report data will become available tomorrow after 3:30 PM EDT, Sep 04, 2020.
With the Uptick rule in effect for a 3rd consecutive day tomorrow, I predict another session with extremely high naked shorting by Options Market Makers.
Comment: There were 1,245,045 (1.25M) shares of TSLA sold today which where tagged as "Short Exempt" by Market Makers. This on a day when they was ABSOLUTELY ZERO PROBLEM in the functioning of the Market, and NO LIQUIDITY problems in this stock.
This GOES AGAINST the purpose of the Options Market Maker's exemption to the prohibition against naked short selling. Regulation SHO grants that exemption only to provide liquidity in the Market. There were 83,685,688 shares traded by FINRA-reporting entities. There IS NO liquidity problem, and Market Makers are abusing their position of priviledge in the Market for their own proprietary trading. This is ILLEGAL.
To me, "anticipation" is after S&P announcement of what will be added and what will be subtracted or else the fund will be guessing, especially which will be subtracted.
Not sure about your numbers. The below link shows iPhone users to be over 50% recently.

I'd be curious to hear reactions to this Tweet by JRP007. In a nutshell, he's arguing that much of the buying in recent weeks was from hedge funds hoping to engineer a squeeze when S&P500 index funds learn they must acquire TSLA. When Tesla announced the details of their $5 billion cap raise, it became apparent that Tesla was going to do what's necessary to keep a massive squeeze from taking place. Since Tesla's cap raise announcement, we've been seeing a decline in the stock price, which is some of these hedge funds unwinding their positions (still at a profit for most) because the big squeeze plan is going to be foiled by Tesla.
I don’t believe JRP007’s explanation at all. If funds were front running then explain:
1. Why wouldn’t Baillie Gifford wait until the infinity squeeze to sell? They sold their shares even before Tesla’s cap raise announcement, so they clearly weren’t spooked by that.
2. If funds are front running then why are they selling right now with the risk that inclusion announcement could happen any night? People are trying to say the funds are spooked by $5 billion cap raise. That amount is less than 10% of what the Index funds alone must add. That doesn’t even take into account the amount the benchmarked funds must add.
3. Folks on CNBC that are fund managers have given interviews stating that they haven’t added TSLA yet and are happy that their benchmarks haven’t either because they would be underperforming their benchmarks. @FrankSG posted one such video last week.
I'm not really buying into that theory, mainly because of the terms of the stock offering. If Tesla really wanted to signal that they would help out with liquidity in number of shares and prevent a massivesqueeze, they wouldn't have put a cap of 5 billion on the offering AND be able to set the price of any shares they decide to offer. They also have the right to withdraw from the offering entirely.
Now if they had put a number cap range of say 5 to 20 billion while setting their own price for the shares, that's another story. It seems to me like Tesla is positioning themselves to capitalize on the incoming squeeze by giving themselves the freedom to let the stock fly and then sell their offering shares at higher prices(above 500).
As for the stock action, it honestly feels as though their some inside information out there that is pointing to the inclusion announcement happening Friday or later and they knew it, which gives them free reign to go to town on the stock.
But in reality, the stock was up nearly 13% post split, they were always going to at some point try a panic sell-off to shake out the emotional investors.
I'm not buying that either. While Tesla could issue $50B more of stock, I can't imagine they would. That would be way too much dilution, not to mention what would they possibly do with that much cash? Elon has already said that they aren't cash constrained.
I love Rob! but he did not win. He is to open minded and polite. I watched every second and it was painful... In the end whatshisface was grandstanding and picking out his next TV personality opponent so he could get more fame... Rob said maybe they could make that happen ;( ouch. Still love Rob.
Will you settle for an article by Troy on CT?I wouldn't mind an internal company email about the end of quarter push.
Edit: in JPR007s theory, Tesla has the ability to do another $5 billion cap raise and another and another, if needed. The excess shares would then be bought back from the market at a lower price than they were sold, once the dust settles.
GJ has a strange interpretation of production. He seems to divide production by the number of factory locations. Do it all in one factory vs 2 factories and he gets different results. Very odd way to attempt to discount increasing production.
Yep, it’s weird. Just those three seem stuck.All my ETrade lots were correctly processed, and pretty quickly, too.

Under the rule, an order can be marked “long” when the seller owns the security being sold and the security either is in the physical possession or control of the broker-dealer, or it is reasonably expected that the security will be in the physical possession or control of the broker or dealer no later than settlement. However, if a person does not own the security, or owns the security sold but it is not reasonably expected that the security will be in the possession or control of the broker-dealer prior to settlement, the sale should be marked “short.” The sale could be marked “short exempt” if the seller is entitled to rely on an exception from the short sale price test circuit breaker.
tsla below 400, no one is really buying anymore. needs to break this downtrend or it could hit 300 again
Yes it does seem that insiders are selling these days; Robyn Denholm sold shares not that long ago. Also:Kimbal Musk and Jerome Guillen sold respectively about 9.9M and 7.5M dollars worth of shares on Tuesday, filings just appeared in my inbox. Probably not massive stakes for them but worth pointing out.
I think Rob has spoke too quickly. If the Split were complete, wouldn't all "beneficiary owners" of TSLA have their dividend stock by now? Many have not been made whole yet, even though the shares were transmitted on Saturday to "beneficial owners" (only the largest, or institutional shareholders) and "shareholders of record" (most Brokers).
If there is a big drop in the SP over the next couple few days, but before theseBlighters"Brokers" deliver these dividend shares, such that rightful TSLA owners miss the opportunity to sell at the ATH, there is going to be the "Mother of All Class Action Lawsuits", Ralph-Nader-esqe in scale.
And the clue is "We haven't received your shares yet from the Transfer Agent". Bee.eSS. You assigned fake shares that you don't own, and now the Transfer Agent is shorting you? That's rich, but you'll soon be poor (or bankrupt).
Word.
Thanks from me too to @AimC (hope I typed that correctly as for some reason your username doesn't pop up).
QuantamScape has been on my radar for a bit, but was unaware of the SPAC. I jumped in in after hours based on seeing a few interviews with the founder Jagdeep Singh, and based on the support of JB Straubel. Bill Gates, and his investment fund (which Branson, Jack Ma and others have invested in)
I vaguely remember seeing an interview with Elon sometime back, and I remember him saying that he only owns 1 stock - TSLA, but he does invest in friends ventures. Full disclosure: I have no idea if he's in on this one.
Didn't land the $16.31 deal that you got @StealthP3D , but landed my position @ $20.11.
I have no relation to the company other than the position I just took in it today. Thanks again to you and this amazing community @TMC for sharing !
