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

[Right_Said_Fred]

What time do they usually announce?

Would have been 10 minutes ago

 

[ByeByeJohnny]

It just struck me about those $25 billion (probably 30 by now) that the shorts have lost. What if they had invested the original money, never mind in Tesla, but in almost ANY other tech company instead. I'm not sure how many billions that is but it's not a $30 billion mistake. It's 40-50 billion easily.

Who is "HE" richer than today?

About 15 minutes back...

As of this morning it was Zuck. Probably closing in on Ortega and Ellison.

I think collectively TMC investors are now a force to be reckoned with and can actually affect prices and certain smaller markets.

If they did that....$TSLA would not be where its at today. THANK YOU Shorts!!!

I'm so glad ETrade provides me with such great stock analysis tools:

Not if you agree with Jack's theory: The Tesla Conspiracy... or Am I a Dead Whistleblower? - EVTV Motor Verks

Let’s take a look at the awl bidness. Currently we are at 100 million barrels of oil used each day worldwide – 20 million here in the U.S. At $55 per barrel, that’s about $5.5 billion per day. That’s another $2 TRILLION world market business. As the percentage of all automobiles that are electric grows, the demand for oil will diminish. Fully 50% of all oil goes to road transport. That is $2.75 billion per day. And for every day that future is delayed, is another $2.75 billion.

is this the real short squeeze finally?

The Shorts would have made out better if they invested in Theranos. 0 is better than negative.

Don't think so. This is because the stock is affordable for those who can't purchase fractional shares. More or less pent up demand.

Looks like rebalancing occurs on the 25th.

According to the S&P themselves, the Sept rebalance takes effect on the 18th. (https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/web-data-downloads/regulatory/spdji-equity-rebalance-current.xlsx )

If ZM gets into the S&P 500 with no mention of Tesla, TSLA share price is going to tank.

So what you are saying is.

All these people who couldn't afford Tsla at 2k a share ended up buying and selling hundreds of millions of shares today at 500 dollars a share?

 

[EVortex]

As I think back over the last several months and all of the SP related actions, the cadence of messaging, the strategies with the split, S&P 500 inclusion, global expansion, product expansion, tech innovation, manufacturing innovation, SpaceX success, and even short shorts (just to name a few) - I have to say that nobody is that lucky. Elon is a 4D chess master. Thank you, Elon and Team!

Boldly HODLing.

Is there a way to know what % of purchases today were just one share per purchase? I'd bet it is a way higher % than any other day.

I bought a few single shares from several accounts just to round-off the holdings and spend a few remaining remnants of dry powder.

My near-term predictions (aka SWAG)

1. S&P inclusion announcement on August 31st

2. Tesla announces additional share offering within a week after the inclusion announcement.

3. Battery day & Annual shareholder meeting will focus on battery technology, increased range, & highlight the growing Tesla Energy business. Surprises may be moving the timeline for the Roadster & Cybertruck. FSD will be getting closer…still “soon”

4. Design refreshes on the S & X will wait until after September 30th

HODL if you can. Enjoy the ride.

Once again my belief in my powers of prediction is shattered.
But I will get by...

(and console myself with watching the share price).
