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

[JusRelax]

If you sold them already though, I don't follow...why would it matter to you if they end up higher?

Well ya know... the shares that these calls were covered against aren't the only Tesla shares that I hold......

Plus, if the stock were to increase $200+ in 2 days, I wouldn't be sad to buy back in only 99% of my shares at a slightly higher price than the $990 I sold them for.

A quote: You are making that up out of your fears and self-loathing.

Does that mean, if some other forum member addressed you like that for including a misquote in one of your posts, you'd be ok with it? Is it just a little "rolling of the eyes"? Maybe I'm overreacting, but to me that sounds offensive. There was no /s included there, no or or anything to imply lightheartedness... but I suppose different people derive different meanings from written text. It's just how it sounded to me.

I would defend those comments till the cows come home but I think this has played it's course and it's not worth the time.

Moving right along...

Mod: it’s definitely not worth the time, for all of us, so this is the last post on this subject.

To anyone who's been thinking about writing calls:

Remember to buy on the way DOWN and sell on the way UP. Not the other way around. And only within the bounds of leverage changes that you're comfortable with.

curious what target price/expiration date options you were trying to buy this morning during the dip?

But we may discover in April that they have more factory buildouts in mind, and it would also be darn helpful to go into that with a stronger cash position. (Perhaps especially if the rating agencies are still dragging their feet on upgrades!)

Expanding to 50x their battery capacity is going to require a lot of cash.

My condolences to the shorts.

No.

Seems the ants managed to mount a successful protest, and stopped at least for a day the planned tree cutting operation at Giga Berlin.

EU crap at its finest...

Reinvest the money in GigaHouston. We have lots of ants we WANT dead.

Day trading Tesla on a Thursday or Friday seems like a bad idea lately haha but that’s fine. I think we see some short covering soon. Today couldn’t have gone any worse for someone who thought they could tip this stock over on a few negative headlines.

Really starting to think that TSLA is allergic to $800

Chicago Tribune - Monday: Electric vehicles are hard to find at the Chicago Auto Show. Next year will be a different story.

Excerpt:
Tesla and Rivian were no-shows at this year’s auto show, but roughly 10 EV models are on display.

They both sell directly to customers. Auto shows are run by franchised dealerships, thus these companies are not welcomed with open arms.

I'm wondering whether the new disclosures about the valuation allowance have changed @The Accountant's estimates about when they are going to make use of it?

Also, in Q4 it grew to $1.956b ...

Well, it's obvious that Tesla intends to claim $151m in VA due to this statement from the 10-K:

"We have net $151 million of deferred tax assets in foreign jurisdictions, which management believes are more-likely-than-not to be fully realized given the expectation of future earnings in these jurisdictions."​

Paging @The Accountant

This amount claimed in 2020Q1 could be enough to make Tesla net profitable on a 12-mth rolling average basis, and with a profitable final quarter, TSLA would qualify for admission into the S&P 500.

In the mean time, today's Cap Raise adds pressure on Moody's for another round of Credit Rating upgrades.

Good times!

Cheers

Fun to sit back and follow the stock price movements. That's why the "smart" analysts and traders on CNBC said: No matter if the stock go up 200 points or down 200 points, I am afraid to short

 

[Highway2Heel]

The $800 level is being bought extremely aggressively.

 

[Right_Said_Fred]

Is this a battle between the big boys? On one side the investment banks underwriting the capital raise and on the other side the marketmakers and hedge funds protecting their positions above 800. Our bogeys at each other’s throat...
