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

[EVNow]

254k volume to push SP below 230. So, now the new low is 226.64 ...

But I suspect today SP will follow Nasdaq. IMO, not done for today.

If there's no demand issue then Tesla doesn't need to advertise.

I'd rather see resources put into quality control/service/communication/growth.

advertising is not about raising demand. it's about deterring FUD.

Source please?

There are full lists in Chinese.

China will hike tariffs on $60 billion worth of U.S. imports, starting on June 1. The goods targeted include a broad range of agricultural products.

@PANN

cnbc didn’t state autos, but i didn’t see all details listed anywhere nor did i search hard enough yet

I read the tariff list published by China government, no auto (and Tesla). Also on SeekingAlpha (Auto sector skids after China tariff shot - Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft (OTCMKTS:BMWYY) | Seeking Alpha). Highlight mine.

Auto stocks are down in early trading after China threatens to raise tariffs on $60B worth of U.S. goods starting on June 1. Even if auto tariffs aren't part of the picture, an extension of the trade squabble impacts production and manufacturing decisions within the automobile industry.

This stock price is absolutely totally and utterly insane. Compared to the market cap of uber / lyft... tesla stock is totally insane. The stock market is a heavy manipulated joke right now.

That assumes the market cap for Uber and Lyft is reasonable. Apparently wasn’t when they IPO’d, as both are down by approx 20% in a matter of weeks (Lyft) and days (Uber). A lot of people who purchased real estate b/w 2004-2007 believed they were getting a good deal based on the sale prices of similar properties. We all know how that turned out,

I’m not suggesting one way of the other whether TSLA stock is over or undervalued today, but my determination would not be made by comparing its value to either of those two companies.

I would think it would not be difficult for the states to get odometer readings. Before getting a tag renewal, cars need to get their annual safety/emissions test which is forwarded to the state. If that doesn't include odometer readings, it would be an easy add. When you get your tag, road use taxes could be automatically calculated based upon milage and vehicle type.

The state of Minnesota can't even get license plates and tab renewals done correctly because of their botched computer upgrade that has been in the works for 10 years. Titles are taking months to receive in some cases and they are often incorrect. No thanks. We do not have an annual inspection and I would hate for them to use this as an excuse to add one. Dealt with that in Virginia for 10 years. We don't need more bureaucratic infrastructure.

Blood bath, but everyone's taking a major hit. Even Uber's high flying IPO is a disaster. Down over 10%. Lyft is way down since their IPO.

 

[tivoboy]

I’ve shifted my accumulate level to 21x from 22x. Near $223 I MAY start 5-8% of the position.

From what I understand, retaliatory tariffs are designed to inflict maximum political pain and pressure on POTUS, so they will be aimed at industries/states that support him.

I'm not sure comparing to Uber's IPO is a good idea...

NASDAQ macros, which in turn are being driven by the trade war are the obvious cause

F***king short sellers

Guys, stop asking "what's going on with TSLA?"

This is not TSLA. The entire market is tanking due to Trump's tariffs. It unfortunately came at a really bad time right after TSLA's cap raise and it was starting to recover. AAPL is down 5.5% right now too.

That seems appropriate since we are under attack from multiple sources.
