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

[Pezpunk]

Just a thought, but it wouldn't surprise me if the stock price itself gleans so much press that a few extra cars get sold this quarter.

I definitely think the stock has a positive impact on the company's perceived legitimacy, and thus helps potential sales.

But in order to believe it helps sales, you'd therefore have to believe they're not supply-constrained, right?

Is anyone willing to admit to that here? Every time I bring up advertising, everyone yells at me that they couldn't possibly sell a single more car than they do because they're battery / manufacturing constrained.

Love the CNBC amazement at today's current high. Phil is talking about other related Tesla stocks and looking at those.

Tesla is the story of the day, those of us who owns Tesla for last 5 years or more knew and recognized opportunity while ago, wall street is just catching up.This lead me to think about Panasonic stock, it’s has been dead money for a long time but time could be ripe for this stock to go up, they just made a profit from operations at Giga factory, risk factors on Panasonic is ,battery is total commodity market low margin business but even some what respectable margin could be hugely profitable, other risk or highly rewarding thing could happen with Panasonic is , When Tesla have their own batteries manufacturing what would happen to Panasonic? likely scenario is Tesla will not kick Panasonic to curb they probably will license their technology to Panasonic and mutually benefit both party, is it

worth throwing some money at Panasonic?, it might be a long shot but Panasonic should be value higher then currently.

Following for me.

Perhaps if you start a Tesla leasing business or your buying them for part of the Tesla Network? Then you could claim depreciation at least.

CNBC - half hour ago:

The Bimbo is is the wrong profession

 

[StealthP3D]

Is a black top hat, coat tails, monocle and cane required attire when you're a multimillionaire?

That is the $10 million and up retirement.

All I have is a tweed blazer with fake leather elbow patches so I don't know if I'm going to fit in.

This is what you get for $3 million or less retirement.

Retirement dreams: $3 million is the new $1 million — here’s how to get there

Perhaps if you start a Tesla leasing business or your buying them for part of the Tesla Network? Then you could claim depreciation at least.

Starting any sort of Tesla business would require far more gains than I current have with my tiny hoard. Further, that would also require some desire on my own part to run such a business, or even lend out my vehicle(s).

I'd rather buy a Tesla for personal use, and save on fuel costs.

Edit: Perhaps I can get married, and thus claim the capital gains under the tax-free income bracket. That's probably more doable.

Even if that's not true, paying money to the media, which has been unfriendly to Tesla forever and never misses a chance to show Tesla in a bad light, is like buying gas--a certain percentage of the price goes to purchase weapons and ammunition used against our soldiers. Why should Tesla support those who do their best to harm Tesla and Tesla Investors?

I'm going to watch the ticker from my model 3 just so that I can buckle up properly

I have had my Model 3 console display the below URL while driving. It appears that rendering this page overloads the computer, so the driving part of the screen gets all messed up: Instead of displaying driving speed it would just display the 'D' for drive and then all the various check-icons (seat belt, air bags, various lights) would light up. Also, when in reverse the rear view camera view suddenly had a very low frame rate.

So it would seem that the setting of the (Linux) process priorities could be improved.

PS. SP pushing for ATH, 950

Sold all in a Roth IRA today, @ $906. Wealth manager been pushing sale since $500. (Cost basis $29 and a smidge.) I'm about to tell the manager to lay off trying to sell for rebalancing because I might want to buy it back at $700 which I don't expect will happen.

Thanks folks, for the Baron interview. His approach to investing in companies is what I've been trying to do since 2000 following what I understood to be Buffet's approach. There are a few differences, aside from the funds available for investment. (From my pensions in the day only had $2,000/month to invest.) In contrast to Buffet I understand technology, at least from a basic m.e. level. Baron, on the other hand, has direct super access to the company plus investor wisdom.

No wonder you are the Prof... brilliant strategy (or you are a time traveler)!

another run up in about 5 min

How in the heck did you know?

 

[Prunesquallor]

This baby wants $950+ today.

 

[Dan Detweiler]

What happened to stocks splitting to make them more affordable? Also helps psychological aspect (10:1 split puts the stock price at $9/share and these gains of $150+ are only $1.50). Is that not the cool trend anymore?

Seems to be a moot point with fractional shares being sold by many brokers now.

Michael Granoff is on CNBC now talking about mobility and Tesla.

Market cap 170B...

The market cap doesn't matter. Shorts may think it only worth $10B. Longs may think it worth $1T. It just doesn't matter at this moment.

Right now it's demand and supply driving actions. People are buying Call options because we are going to join index. Nobody can supply so many Calls. Those who were happy to sell naked Calls have been burnt to the ground, or got fired. Those who are happy to sell covered Calls already maxed out and are regretting. We predicted all of these.

On the other hand, shorts start to get margin calls. Tomorrow they have to buy shares from the market, no choice. Likely another step up.

Shorts asked for this treatment.

Today put me over the threshold of becoming a teslanaire! The first stock I ever bought outside of a 401k was TSLA back in 2013. Thanks to all of the people on this forum, I learned how to trade stocks and options in only TSLA of course. I kept track of every position, in and out, ups and downs, and today my total has exceeded $1M after my initial layout of $10k way back then. It's been a heck of a ride, almost as much fun as my 2018 LR 3!

I couldn't have done it without all of you!

Thanks,
Wayno

Same pattern today as yesterday, any guesses for tomorrow?

‘Chart master’ calls a blowoff top in Tesla — then the stock rallies another 15%

This quote

The day after his bearish take, Tesla TSLA, +21.01% shares opened with another double-digit percentage gain. If it was parabolic before, then it’s really parabolic now.

i'm fine with paying them a pittance to end this stupid, pointless "war" (it's a business ... why make unnecessary enemies?), especially if it has the potential side effect of improving the demand for Tesla vehicles. But, I know I'm in the minority and the arguments have already been presented by both sides.

the stock is going up by almost the amount of it's 52 week low in one day!
