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

Correct, Autopilot. Tesla's annual report... that safety data.
I think the people will still ignore the safety data in general, all bc they will definitely see these cars do something they could have avoided and obvious. (Not realizing that a dozen other people just stopped at a red light instead of running it.) The accidents will be different, and that will make the headlines. "I can't believe it hit that pole at 2 mph..." resolves to "If it hit that, then imagine how unsafe it is 75 mph on a freeway."
Thinking of this in $ terms doesn't make sense. You have to think in terms of number of shares that index funds have to buy, which doesn't change much by share price. Rob M even dedicated an entire episode to this. Too lazy to link from mobile

Lol, no it's not possible. A split does nothing but increase demand for shares. That increased the squeeze by adding another additional layer of demand.
Would be fun if Tesla informs S&P....We're tired of the playing around. Do the announcement tomorrow or we pull the offering
OK, I've officially done nothing all today but learn more about TSLA, and I stopped buying for now until some dust settles.
Not surprised if there's an announcement by Tesla tomorrow - when is there not one? Never dull.

So I'm thinking a drop of 6-15% tomorrow before an S&P announcement, a large uptick aftermarket closing the stock at -2% for the day and going for an extremely long weekend... The suspense is killing me HODL!
HODL!

I think I spent >6 hrs today looking at charts & tickers, collecting information and generally being upset at the market. I have to deal with days like this with an offline trip to the forest or something...

Some people are immune to "interference" from "numbers" but I saw first hand how people were convinced simply by pointing out that Tesla's had a lower rate of vehicle fires per mile than all cars combined and linking to the data so they could confirm you weren't just making it up. Statistics do matter to most people.
BTW, I was not aware of that CV-19 statistic (so I assume most people in the US are not either).

That's only 12M Shares at $400. That happens in the first hour of trading lately, so not a huge pill I think.

I was on the road today, and before I left, I saw TSLA dropping and the macros, so I set to purchase more shares until the end of the trading day that expired as I set for $400 and we never got that low during trading hours.
In AH (which I was on the road, so never got to check during to set up new order), it dropped to 380 and way below the threshold I set.
My cousin, who was next to me after the AH when I pulled out my phone to check the stocks said to me "you must be glad that it didn't hit the price".
I said "well, it's indifferent really. If I was going to care about a short term drop and increase, I wouldn't have held on to my TSLA holdings until now. And if I'm going to look back when it hits my selling goals, a $20 per share difference on 100 shares (the order I submitted in the morning), it's really marginal in the grand scheme of things."
In days like this... what I'd ask myself is this simple question: has there any change in the fundamental operation of Tesla given the information I currently have?
Today, my answer was no. So, I'd continue to buy the dip as my budget allows and laugh at this when Tesla hits 1T... but chances are... I probably won't even remember about it. Do you remember the last time it went down (or up) 8% in a day? That's like every day last week.

I vote this the most orginal idea of the year. Why not cast the battery?! At least the two clamshells, and squirt in the goo then seal it tight. Brilliant!
Cheers!
I'm going with a SP comeback on Tues. They'll want to get rid of ALL the weak ones.So I'm thinking a drop of 6-15% tomorrow before an S&P announcement, a large uptick aftermarket closing the stock at -2% for the day and going for an extremely long weekend... The suspense is killing me
To quote Pink Floyd, "Are there any weak ones out there in the audience tonight" right before the live song "Run" where they all "Run like hell..."

...what's the options volume, though?
Like, if the shorts decided to just buy a ton of put options, the market makers would 100% legitimately, as the exact reason for the market maker exemption, be allowed to short-sell, right?
(Arguably, this is a case for the market maker exemption to be removed, even if the market makers are doing nothing illegal. Although there would be strange effects from the market maker exemption being removed on the IV of put options - one manipulation tactic that would become practical is to buy puts, sell enough stock to shove it below 10% down and trigger the uptick rule, and then as the market makers skyrocket the premiums to cover their massively increased risk from being unable to delta hedge a put, sell your puts. Presumably, puts in general would also just generally have constantly higher IV, due to the constant risk of the uptick rule being activated, as well - how did this work when the uptick rule was the norm for all stocks?)

The TSX (Toronto) is also closed on Labour Day. It wouldn't be unprecedentedfor European exchange's to halt trading on TL.0 on Monday, given After-hrs news.
Not saying the announcement will come on Friday, but if for some reason the S&P Committee decided that was the best time, conflicting trading hours across continents would be among their lesser worries.
Cheers!
Color me superstitious but Elon just retweeted “Second 150m flight test of Starship” for no good reason.
I love it when he tweets about rockets, most of the time.
