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

[Tslynk67]

Iain M. Banks. Definitely my favorite sci-fi writer ever. Excession, The Player of Games and of course Consider Plebas. I can't quite believe no-one has picked up his material and started making epic movies, or a TV Series.

The rights to make a film out of Consider Phlebas were acquired by (turns to Google as his old brain can't recall...), by, by, nope can't find it... Anyway, in the meantime, Amazon has now acquired the rights and are making a series out of it.

Problem is, when did you last see a film or TV adaptation that gave any justice to any book? There's nothing as grand as the imagination and the spaces between the words.

Of course you know that Elon is a huge Banks fan too, I hope...?

I follow a lot of shorts. One of them started to talk about S&P inclusion (these guys are 6 months behind longs on crucial info, thanks to their block list). His conclusion is Q1 won't see positive earnings. When they realize Q1 could be positive, they will panic.

TSLA breaking out of today's trading pattern of following the NASDAQ-100 (QQQ on chart) up/dn at a multiple as of 14:15 hrs.

Now finally above $450 with 10 min to go in the main session.

Cheers!

Also, almost a half hour early ...

I do not know why short sellers have such a bad reputation here.

They are paying for my pension and they seem willing to give me a roadster as well for my forties.
Very generous folks...

I think Tesla's value will grow faster than SpaceX can monetize their satellite constellation.

Elon has said he plans on selling Tesla stock in the far future to fund his Mars ambitions via SpaceX. A tie up with SpaceX doesn't make sense.

There are zero potential acquirers of Tesla since there is nobody else that's fully aligned with Tesla/Elon's stated mission. Short of something catastrophic happening, Tesla is in charge of its' own destiny.

For a long time, Tesla sandbagged Model Y production timeline, why? It's easy for longs to understand: to prevent Osborne effect. Shorts will never understand this.

That’s what I’m basically getting at without having a clear understanding of SpaceX’s business to be able to make that determination.

 

[StealthP3D]

We know Tesla/Elon doesn’t enjoy dealing with the distraction of the markets - if Elon could take Tesla private himself/via SpaceX, why wouldn’t he?

Maybe you forgot recent history.

Musk said he gave up on the "take private" attempt precisely because shareholders let him know they didn't want to be taken private (Cathie Woods included). I would have considered it to be a disaster to have been bought out at $420. The only redeeming thing was Musk said individuals could go along for the ride (but many funds could not without replacing many of their clients as well as their essence).

Let's not keep revisiting the past. It was most likely a bluff to prevent a hostile take-over at a time when TSLA was vulnerable.

And/or to avoid the contrived "Tesla misses Y goal" headlines if anything went slower than planned.
