Nah, that's not a flying shame.
THIS is a flying shame (stolen from here, I think)

Actually a Tesla investor cruise w/ bunch of panels featuring people from TMC, Wall St, the media, etc, would be potentially a fun outing. Elon could helicopter in for a keynote.

It would be too attractive a target. There are going to be quite a few shorts in serious financial trouble that hold a grudge forever.

People are funny that way. They feel they missed the "top", what, three days ago, and so when a higher price is dangled in front of them they can't help themselves - they sell. It's a tragedy I've seen play over and over again with high-flying growth stocks. The bottom line is people are attached to money and they get nervous it might go down. Which is understandable if they need the money in the short-term just to live. In that case, they never should have been playing the market to begin with.

Always assuming you have some in a "short term" account, and the majority in a "long term" account. Selling a few now and then to get your eat'n money seems an acceptable compromise. Otherwise the "short term" money would just be in cash with no possibility for profit. Yes, sometime you might sell a few shares at a loss, but chances are that won't be too many.

Does anyone on here have reliable data for the current Model 3 sales mix? Ex. How many Model 3 LR vs. Performance vs. SR+ sales in 2019?

I'm putting together my estimates for Tesla's Q4 and FY2019 revenues and profits. Would appreciate any insight!

Too much investing advice round here.


Make a plan on your own, stick with it.
Determine what your goals are, most people really fail to do that well.
Determine how to best go about obtaining your goals. This is tough.
Do the above things.
Evaluate your results and adapt.

People can't help staring at a train wreck.

If only he'd bought shares and left them on Autopilot

Just looked at spiegels twitter for a laugh. He is surely mentally ill at this point?

There's no way to really know just how good Q4 is but my current belief is that if you include forward-looking statements, Musk will surprise to the upside, maybe by a lot. I think by Q4 earnings we will be firmly planted in the $500's. Of course, markets are chaotic and high flyers are subject to outsized movements (both to the upside and the downside) so it wouldn't surprise me to see it hit $400's again (or $600's).

You have to think in big, big chunks in this kind of game. Trying to skim a few percents here and there is no way to make money, IMO. Actually, long term, compounded gains is where millionaires are made.

Or he can be an idiot like he was in the past and say “Tesla is currently overvalued.” He did this 2-3 times...

Elon, if you’re reading this, don’t do it again. It would be nice if you can say this instead “the stock should be headed to $1,000/share base on future trajectory of where this company is headed.”

So maybe when it gets to the price of one share...

Sorry, won't work for me. I have a business meeting scheduled for next week.

 

[Zaxxon]

You sound jealous, I admit I am. If you can get someone to pay you that salary for that advise, I would definitely take that gig

You folks joke, but presumably Adam Jonas gets paid a reasonably 'nice' salary. He put out a crazy-wide range of $10-$500 and was wrong, yet collects said salary.

 

[UnknownSoldier]

All of these growth stocks are blowing up at once. I have no idea who is pumping cash into this market but I'm happy nonetheless. I'm also snowed in so I'm going back to bed, wake me if we hit $600 today LUL

 

[friit]

I made these gingerbread before Christmas. The three were unrelated, but serendipitously can be read together as TSLA SP at 500! Never would have thought it to rocket to this level so fast.

 

[Artful Dodger]

We're sitting right at the Upper-BB right now ($508.53) . Let's see what happens next.

 

[printf42]

I guess some algo just realized all the S&P 500 talk here does not mean SP = $500 and gave up defending it.

Can we just ignore Spiegel from now on? He is a vile, dumb pathetic guy who has always played with less money than many of TBC contributors. He should never have been used by anybody as a talking head.

 

[DrMazeppa]

Imagine being a short in a day like today ...scary...

(waves hand frenetically) OOOH, OOOH, I KNOW! The SP is gonna make that Bollinger dude its biatch!

 

[LoveTSLA]

No one think this is the tipping point of the BIG squeeze? I think it is as long as it stay over 500.

I disagree, I think it's foolish to have short-term money in the market.

The reason is simple and practical: If the markets drop precipitously, then you are forced to sell off your short-term holdings at a big loss and also do that which shouldn't be done, sell off part of your long-term account just to make ends meet. And you would be selling long-term holdings at bargain-basement prices.
