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

[woodisgood]

Regretting my unwillingness to buy at 310-315...like Karen I was waiting for a lower buy point. Nuts.

340 will be breached shortly. Green light day..345 anyone?

 

[Vad42]

If this is the beginning of long-prophesied short squeeze, I’m disappointed. Why couldn’t it start at 380.

Now is much better time though. I’ll take it.

The 11/11 China tesla release day?? - falls on Singles Day .....

 

[ZsoZso]

I pray Apple doesn't buy Tesla. But why should Apple management worry about entering a capital intensive business when they are sitting on 200+ billion in cash and only a few ideas on what to do with it all?

OTOH, I pray that Apple attempts to buy Tesla, but ultimately fails.
However, the bidding war would create a VW / Porsche level short squeeze!

Why ? I can dream, can't I ?

so poking around in Schwab I noticed that they have a special maintenance margin requirement for $TSLA of 75%

 

[GOVA]

Ha! So I go to Cnet from time to time and look what is at the top in the menu bar.

Yea, I really like those Black Friday links.

 

[Kenypowa]

Dumped my $3k HSA cash into TSLA and caused this run up. You're welcome!

Sold my first ever TSLA shares @ $330 this morning. Should have waited a couple hours .

You're welcome y'all.

 

[StealthP3D]

Do I repeat my brilliant trading strategy of the last few days?
Risk another .014...percent?

Aah the life of the high roller!

Probably best to wait until you re-acquire the share(s) you sold at only $326!

 

[Mkorpal]

I wonder how the increase in stock price affects demand. I bet there is a non-trivial amount of people who are using their gains in TSLA to buy a tesla.

Probably trivial compared to the number of people who wouldn't buy a Tesla because "look at the stock price, it's going bankwupt."

You think demand is strong now, just wait until the FUD disappears and the stock becomes one of the most valuable on the market.

 

[Chocochip]

Next stop 340 !

Do we have to stop at 340?

As I type this, I can see the "ceiling" and the bounce... let's see how many attempts are necessary.

 

[Tslynk67]

Bounced off $340 a few times, but not as hard as I expected and nothing like the previous time on the Monday after earning call.

Can't see what's left for the shorts here, TBH. They need a black swan.

Apologies if this is a re-post, but a nice article.

Tesla’s first-mover advantage over rival car makers should only get bigger

Poorly written article that only skims some important differences and ignores many. The Der Spiegel article @ReflexFunds posted was a much better article but still filled with gaps in analysis. Both ignore the issue of range anxiety that is overcome with a supercharging network. They understate the importance the car networks. The above article does identify the sales model as an advantage (something missing in the der spiegel article) but that's a small small part of the whole package. Tesla is launching products...ferociously. The german and japanese entities still have yet to make even an marketable electric car..much less a supercharging network, much less a sales model, much less a battery plant, much less a workable software solution to arrive at a future state, much less an interconnected network of computers. They are stuck at stage 1...something Tesla had almost 10 years ago.

The Tesla news on the Apple stock tracker

Tesla pickup unveil

Tesla first mover advantage

Walmart and Tesla settle lawsuit

90% of Model 3 buyers thinks Autopilot saves lives.

After all the discussion of FUD the last few days, none of it this money on the financial news. Nothing but good news mostly, why not buy the stock?

 

[fmonera]

Anyone else feel like the premarket FUD was noticably missing today? Googling TSLA returned 3 positive pieces from fake "business news" sites. Strange. Maybe some of the big guys have covered and are going long?

You mean it's time to sell?

 

[Unpilot]

Is it safe to say... it's Green!

 

[StarFoxisDown!]

Lol the MMD got a taste of it's own money there with the trading patterns over the past 15 mins. Once stock reached 340, the usual suspect of smaller sell orders started coming in to walk it back down. After about 5 mins of that, the opposite then started to happen. A series of small buy orders started coming in to counteract the usual antics.

 

[Causalien]

I'm officially lost. I actually had dreams last night about the cybertruck reveal.

I personally believe cyber truck will be a m3 moment. When the market realizes that tsla just penetrated the conservative market. And all oil field workers are now drooling for a tesla.

Ths probably kills the FUD as those are the ppl you see keeying tesla and holds a personal grudge.

Kimbal will be a great spokesperson for the truck as a cowboy.

 

[Late2theGame]

Been like this for (over?) a year iirc, had a margin call because of it around that time.

 

[GregRF]

Do other brands have logos in Chinese in China?
If so, then I guess it's business as usual,
else I think this is going to be a subtle, great idea which Chinese will love -- in the footsteps of Tesla not charging more $$ for exported cars like the others. ..cheers!!

Yes I believe the Chinese characters are some regulation or other. A local told me that was how you could tell if a vehicle was made in China

 

[PaulRocket]

I think the Cybertruck will be an awesome product but hitting 1k per week production in China will likely have a bigger impact on stock price. I think Wall Street will see this as another product added to the pipeline while they currently aren't even producing the Semi, Roadster or Y. Obviously WE know that Tesla is hard at work and those products are coming soon, but I don't think Wall Street feels the same way.
