So true. A colleague spotted me checking the pre-market in a meeting today and asked if it was $TSLA (he know I drive a Model X). He said he'd like to invest in it but it's "losing money every year"... I started to rant about capital-intensive, high-growth, but quickly gave up...

Nope, but you can get all your Walmart shopping done while you charge your Porsche at 50 kW.When can I buy one of those? 2021?
And that will get me a total rated range of 192 miles plus how much? That would be great if I didn't have to stop to Supercharge every 1-2 hours. Oh, wait...The 4S won't work on the Supercharger Network either?
oh wait, no place to load the stuff...
Every buy and sell is a trade AND an investment decision. It’s not an “OR”.
The only consideration is if you judge the return from selling to be greater than the return from holding.
E.g. selling Tesla for a life saving surgery or buying something with greater promise(Haha:/)

I lost respect for him when he couldn't handle the drop last year and sold out his position. He was bad mouthing Tesla after he sold. Then after Tesla price recovered and stabilized from the low, Gerber began singing Tesla praises again. I watched couple TV interviews he did recently and all the Bull case facts he stated were full of errors. Kind of errors true followers of Tesla would know and not make when presenting it on TV. IMO, he's all talk and only cares about self promotion.
Not me! I'm not tired of winning! In fact I need more winning.Winning fatigue anyone?

Yes, but TSLA went down at the rate of 4x over the NASDAQ-100. That is the thumbprint of manipulation on the scale of the SP.Curt in this case the entire market dipped sharply, not just TSLA. I don't believe TSLA is big enough (yet) to spook the entire market on a downward move
EDIT: SP recovered now to pre-Boomberg level
$540.86 +16.00 3.04%

yeah, what is that supposed to mean? we're not talking about some white elephant asset that might be difficult to unload. it's a publicly traded stock!
I truly wish you luck with these. It is not just that I am such a nice well meaning person, but possibly even more that if these expire in the money my much more conservative bets will pay off insane well as well. On the other hand maybe the only reason is that I am such a nice person.
Stock has had plenty of reason to pull back today: valuation concerns , moving up too quickly, today the reality of there really isn't a tariff deal which led to a macro decline, profit taking...…...yup it's still going strong. Considering Earnings is just around the corner, we may stay 2X or 3X average trading volume for the next two weeks

Ross is a Tesla fanboi spokesperson. I do not think I have learned anything from him. His job is not being an analyst. His main job is to sell his financial services. He exploits the free screen time to talk about Tesla advertize his services. Good for him. He is definitely not worse than most talking heads.

Well... supposedly this year. But no word on range. It has a smaller battery pack with an option for the same size as the Turbos. (79 kWh vs 93 kWh)
I say it will be interesting because the low end, still more than $100k, may have worse range. Porsche has demonstrated a careless disregard for efficiency, but they do have a much lower power for the models.
Still, here's my guess:
Turbo S; $185k; 192 miles (IIRC)
Turbo; $150k; 201 miles
Turbo 4S; $110k; 250 miles (my guess)
Turbo 4S; $104k; 212 miles (my guess)
just bought more 11 shares @ $540 ish .. hope this is not a dumb move

We've now broken through 540 seven times today. Let's see if we can stay there this time.
In the long run definitely not. Short run? Who knows?
The tough part will be to not chicken out if this continues
Idk, maybe I sell half (don't know which half though, they are asymmetrical) to not lose all before ER?
I hope so. So far i have had a nice 3 months watching $TSLA price.
Bought few shares every now and then the last few months, always at "all-time high"
you guys are great keeping morale up and increasing my resistance to sell and take profit
Shorts lost 1.25 billion dollars yesterday. yikes
If the ER is blah, then we dip or stay in the low 500s or upper 400s until end of Q1 I assume. If ER is great, then sky is the limit as that suggests Q1 will be good, S&P inclusion happens...but don't listen to me. There are far more intelligent/experienced investors here and even they don't know what will happen.
I'm having the same argument in my own head. My 2/7 and 3/15 calls are waayy up. I worried we see a big dip, but also worried that we see a huge jump and I miss out on serious cash. I think it comes down to your expectations around the ER, and how much you will be mad if you lose $X vs how mad you would be if you lost a gain of $Y.

I'm not so sure. The price has risen so far, so fast... I'm sure there are a ton of people thinking "crap, if anything at all bad happens, there's going to be a giant drop" The overreaction to a sudden macro event doesn't surprise me a bit, and I don't think any deeper theories are needed.
That said, I'm just holding my modest stake and happy to see the price heading right back up again.
Barron's - 12 minutes ago: Here’s What to Do if You Missed Out on the Tesla Rally
Excerpts:
Investors experiencing the fear of missing out, or FOMO, can still buy Tesla shares if they think that global sales of electric vehicles are at an inflection point...
But, as one portfolio manager -- an off-again, on-again Tesla shareholder -- told Barron's, investors can still buy in, so long as they believe in the long-term prospects for the company. They key is to manage risk. And risk with a stock as volatile as Tesla can be mitigated by position size.
