Softbank bought into GM's Cruise Automation at a valuation of 14.6B. All of Tesla is valued at only 42B. How does this make any sense
Weak retail investors selling their shares to strong retail investors and strong institutional investors.
Why would anyone short at this level? That sounds as ill-informed as buying in at 375-380. Unless it's big players and/or small haters trying to break the stock.
I was a long term shareholder until this morning, I unloaded everything just after the opening bell. eeked out a 3% gain, not much... considering when we were at $375 I had huge gains. But I am not about to sell at a loss, or hold on to paper losses for any extended period of time. I will buy back in when I see conditions improve...and right now this is not the time.
Why not? If their TSLA holdings go above I think 10% of their portfolio they have to sell, if it's below that they are free to buy more.That can't possibly explain purchases and sales in the hundreds of thousands of shares over the course of a single quarter. Or the 276,000 shares purchased yesterday.
I've just bought another 50. I now must be one of Tesla's biggest shareholders, I own 7 millionths of the company!
I have a $350,000 share holding in Tesla
- Tesla does the above and also robotaxis change the world, valuation likely to be $2trillion. My share holding becomes worth $15m

Not only ill-informed, but actually crazed. TSLAQ believe TSLA is worth exactly zero. In their crazed minds, there is another ~$240 to go...Why would anyone short at this level?

There are only four outcomes here. For theoretical purposes, lets give all four outcomes an equal weighting:
- Tesla goes bankrupt and I lose all my money.
- Tesla grows slowly to become "only" another car company in which EVs will always make up a small percentage of total vehicle sales. In which case based on competitor valuations, current valuation is more or less fair, therefore I hold my money, but gain nothing
- Tesla grows to sell over 10 million vehicles per year and heavily disrupts in car industry and energy storage and solar energy also take off. In which case, within 10 years, valuation is likely to be $300-500bn. My share holding becomes worth $3m
- Tesla does the above and also robotaxis change the world, valuation likely to be $2trillion. My share holding becomes worth $15m
Elon Musk has deliberately designed the business strategy in that Tesla can win via a number of different ways. Either scaling the cars, or via autonomous taxis, or via energy storage and solar. They don't all have to come off in order to win, only one or two have to come off big time.
It seems to me that the only way the current share price of Tesla is justified is if the market is given a 90% possibility to Tesla going bankrupt. If a private investor does not agree with this, and has available capital, they would be a fool not to invest in Tesla
I think it was clear I was speaking about quarterly bleeding, but I admit I could have been more precise.
My first call options expired worthlessly last week. I’m afraid many other calls I hold with Jan ‘20 and Jan ‘21expiry might face the same fate... I have $320, $365, $385 strikes and paid a pretty penny for those years back when TSLA was trading somewhat comfortably in the $300+ range.
Never ever would I have thought with where the company is today in terms of sales growth and maturity that we are back in the mid $200’s...
I keep my hope on a summer rally to get rid of all my calls (they’re all on margin—about $240K) at break-even. $400 seems a pipe dream, I very much doubt it will ever happen.
Also, never thought we'd see these lows and looks like it's quite possible we're heading to the 240s(soon). Once the SEC drama is resolved and the stock reaction to that subsides AND If Elon could give up Twitter(which he can't) we'd be back into the 300s in no time.
So you are calling a cumulative cash benefit of $750m+ "bleeding", and proof for why the Solar City acquisition was a bad idea?
Oh, and you do this after Q4 and Q1, the two autumn-winter quarters with weak solar sales, right before Q2 where the VIEs will seasonally probably generate cash again?
Rather disingenuous arguments.
They want a short squeeze? They’re secretly buying calls? Nothing makes sense.Why would anyone short at this level? That sounds as ill-informed as buying in at 375-380. Unless it's big players and/or small haters trying to break the stock.
