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

[LN1_Casey]

The black swan event is going to go on for months. Some countries haven't even begun to react yet, including the US. Only China is actually in the recovery phase and they had it going on from January until now in March and they imposed very draconian measures which aren't possible in the West. This isn't the bottom, and we might not even be close.

At the same time, China had the unfortunate thing of being the first. Even if other countries have done nothing since first reports, China would have already been at least a few months into making a vaccine for this, which is a time advantage that slower reacting/outbreaking countries like the US can and will take full advantage of.

If China comes out with a vaccine, that even just helps prevent the virus, than it'd be a large profit for them, and a huge help for countries who are in the early stages of their outbreak.

Is the number of expiring options tomorrow meaningful enough to matter for Max Pain? Trying to think if 550 could be a magnet for tomorrow closing price.
Though, I have a feeling someone is using the context to slowly pull down TSLA more than that.

I thought the market was forward looking. Aren't they pricing all this in ATM?

So the market expect the same types of measures in the states? I have a feeling that they don't...

I think we like to believe that the market is smart, but in reality it's made up of dumb people just like us.(50% are dumber than average if you can believe the statistics )

breach is ok...we need to hold roughly that level for the week.

What about fall off a cliff? I sold at 3:57 and took the loss from my TSLA purchase yesterday based on seeing the NDX plummet like that. Some people listen to you! lol

s a joke, I put a $2.00 limit sell order on 100 of my SPY puts, expiring at the end of day. (These are the same puts I bought for $0.05 a few weeks ago.) That trade just executed. What the hell is going on with this market?

Next time, add a zero.

Today was not a good day in the automotive sector. Tata plunged to take last place from Mazda. Other sizeable drops include Renault, PSA, FCA and VW. The total value of the top 25 auto makers dropped from $796B yesterday to $718B today, about 9.8% drop. This drop is much sharper than prior declines with few showing any strength (e.g., Changan). While TSLA has dropped it is definitely not the worst performing and is situated for a better recovery.

Here in Norway all schools and kinder garden where shut down for two weeks today. Gym closed, restaurants closed and pubs closed(unlesss they can guarantee 1 meter between all costumers), cinemas closed, hair cutters closed and no medical staff can leave the country this or next month...

All the airlines have major issues, Norwegian Air Shuttle has temporarily laid off 50% of their staff. Local stores are sold out for bread, toilet paper, flour, and some groceries.

My point with this is that I guess that some of the same will happen in the US in a couple of weeks. This leads me to think that there will be at least a few week until we se some form of bottom.

Depends. Here in Finland nothing has been been shut down. Government gave some recommendations, eg cancel concerts etc if you can..

I'm not certain which approach is best. Shutting down schools might delay the inevitable, but won't stop it.

We all need to channel our inner Kimbal Musk. "I'm very happy about the future of Tesla.... Let me tell you about plant a seed day"

Seeds are gonna be the new currency.

max pain is $650 isn't it?

Tell that to my weed stocks.

Agree its very stupid - very Trumpian even. Can you imagine not talking about the GFC on a main investor thread during the 2008/2009 era?

Yeah I don't get it. Details on the virus itself sure, but nothing else matters right now.

I guess the goal is not to stop it, but to spread the cases. This so that the health care system have some kind of chance to withstand it...

Calm yourselves. We're in a seaworthy vessel riding out the storm. Some sea sick dogs have abandoned ship to their peril. We have a good captain at the helm. We have a core base of mates that have the constitution to steady the course. The main sails and all her riggings are intact. We are on course but have to acknowledge that there is some sickness among us. It will pass as a bad gale that that has pelted us with salty sea spray and a scant few mates may unfortunately succumb to it. Nothing us swashbucklers haven't dealt with before. We continue to right ourselves upon this heaving deck as we know this is what it takes and is expected of us to successfully complete our journey. Cheers to my mates as we stand arm in arm weathering this cold and mighty storm! Stay the course and you most certainly will be richly rewarded...

Bollinger unveils its electric truck platform, markets it to commercial vehicles - Electrek
Looks like a sleek design - minimal tooling. Should be flexible and a great way for various companies to get into selling EVs. No price but should help Bollinger profitability.

Oracle is up 5% on earnings beat after hours. That shows that the market isn't totally paranoid at least.
