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

This isn't just coronavirus plus a long overdue correction, it's the death of fossil fuels. Global oil demand has likely peaked, 4 years earlier than expected due to coronavirus shock. Not a coincidence that TSLA rocketed then oil plunged.

I mention this not because it's an additional macro concern, but because it's WILDLY STIMULATIVE for the global economy. We're going to have ultra cheap fuel for an economy still running on oil, with a backdrop of trillions of dollars in renewable energy buildout.

Not to mention, ALL THAT MONEY that would traditionally flow back into fossil investments is now building up on the sidelines with nowhere to go. You know what you get from the once laughable Greek govt for parking your money there? Zero.

This cash will flow back into equities once coronavirus panic has passed in 2 weeks and the top landing spot will be TSLA. There is WAY too much money on the sidelines for this not to happen.
I think this is the deep story playing out. Coronavirus is revealing just how fragile demand for oil and gas are. An awful lot of wealth in the world is derived directly from fossil fuels (e.g. refining) or indirectly from its use (e.g. auto financing). The decline in fossil wealth will create a substantial restructuring of the global economy and geopolitical realities. For the most part, the market has been in denial about the end of the fossil age. The markets have traded on fantasies of BAU. But coronavirus reveals just how much the whole economy depends on dependable growth in demand for oil. It reveals our apocalyptic fears. It reveals just how deeply we cling to denial as a coping mechanism. If we are in this much denial about a virus, how much more pernicious is our collective denial of climate change? The economic and political order much change, must become more adaptable, but wealth and power are but manifestations of BAU. The market does not yet know how to make money in a post-carbon economy, and so it will pull money out of stocks and bonds until it has a clue.

Tesla is a clue.
 
These short attacks are very very disturbing to me. There is absolutely now negative news on TSLA that warrants a 6% drop while the market is up. Blatant manipulation, when will this stop!
It won't, but fortunately, Tesla doesn't need the stock market at this time. Short term it's rough on the investors.
