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

[ZeApelido]

Ho-hum, another year that Tesla should grow 50% YoY. So boring.

 

[SpudLime]

Yes

Summary?

 

[SageBrush]

If my arithmetic is correct, Tesla was just barely non-GAAP positive for the year. Does that influence S&P inclusion ?

 

[Causalien]

If I was the superstitious type and my belief in my prophetic powers weren't a joke that ran too long.

I could've swore that everytime I land somewhere, the stock price goes up by 10%.

No, it's GAAP based

 

[Fact Checking]

I mean...

I have $110,000 in calls, 0 in puts. Hedging is for chads.

80% is Jan 2021 tho so I can’t claim full autist.

Small correction: you had $110,000 in calls.

Now you probably have substantially more than that.

I’ve been a believer in Tesla for a long time but I didn’t have the epiphany, guts, whatever to buy any shares until last year and I’m so glad I did. This message board is a wonderful resource with so many knowledgeable posters. Thank you all so much! As an aside, @Artful Dodger , I used to bum around as a kid on SoCal Pirate bbs’s back in the 80’s with that handle. Brings back the “mems”.

It’s been a much more productive use of my time reading your posts with that handle! To say the least!

Cheers!

My humble opinion is that based on the 4Q19 report, and Model Y being released into the wild; sales will skyrocket despite the loss of the tax incentive. Yes, I know the semi might be in there, but the positive 4Q19 report and the Y. . .

The other day while cursing along in our X, my wife spotted an X, and right after her I spotted an X and yelled Tic-Tac-Toe ~ the simple things in life excite me the most

That is still better than the pot smoking one

No way, that's a legendary meme

In moments like this I like to think of the young investing firm made up of father and sons at UCLA...who despite seeing Tesla’s on the road everyday said “at 488 it can’t go any higher” so they shorted it with nearly half a mil haha

but I’m most excited about the energy business of Tesla, seems like we have a two headed monster building

That celebratory dance from Elon was another brilliant free PR move!

Next time, a pole dance.

At least their losses are capped. I mean, at $650 how could it go any higher?

I must need to enable something. I put in a lot of after hours orders that don't get filled (and they should be)

Extended trading is usually a different type of order. Usually similar to buy_ext. Oryouchange the market to ext

 

[keydiver]

But I really doubt that Tesla can product 760,000 car in 2020, considering the New Corona Virus situation. They might end up lose a quarter of productivity in GF3

A. That's not what they said. They projected 500,000 production in 2020, with 760,000 production CAPACITY by mid-year.
B. A friend of mine in Shenzhen says the quarantine seems to be working great, so the government has basically extended the Chinese New Year an extra week or so, and they expect the coronavirus to burn out in 2 weeks or so. He didn't seem concerned at all.

More in-app purchases incoming.

Tesla is readying a new option, internally called „Rear Heated Seats Enabled/Disabled“ for Model 3. Probably for SR+ post purchase upgrades etc. Stay tuned! #model3 #feature #upgrades

shopping with our winnings

Sorry, totally disagreed.
Stay calm and just feel good. Just wait and enjoy the Short Squeeze for a while

Make sure you choose day + extended for the time in force

 

[SMAlset]

Can’t wait to see what Jim Cramer says on Tesla, his new favorite stock apart from Apple.

 

[imherkimer]

Folks, I just can’t help but think of the boss shorts. (I mean the real “whale” shorts, the biggest of them, those hidden in the murky depths, not these little color fish we see parading on SA or BI, or appearing on teevee. I can just imagine the anger and panic of those losing billions beyond the cameras and the public eye. They have been coddled and protected by the SEC, and have been confident, brash, at times overt and coordinated, and always with impunity. Looks got they have gotten blind-sided by their own arrogance, and confirmation bias. Now some of these whales might just be in too deep! There is a lot of barometric pressure happening where they are, and they have got to be feeling a whole hell of lotta squeeze right now.

With this 4Q report the music stops for these guys, and well, especially with the recent buying on good news and performance, there just aren’t going to be enough chairs floating around to cover their naked asses! The next few days will be interesting. This game is starting to get so VERY expensive for them. Compounding and compounding the losses, how much pressure can they take? The old strategy of cover and short again right away and write off the expense has just been put out on a shelf, just out of reach. Prepare for tantrums!
