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

[Cherry Wine]

The increased volatility post-split is something I was not expecting.

While today sucks, I find this C&D comment hilarious:

What is minimalist about all those buttons?

 

[chrsk]

So 270$, that’s where we came from before the split where announced. Anyone want to bet against me that we will revisit that level?

 

[wipster]

BTW and OT, you take a screenshot on Android 11 by pressing the power button and the volume down simultaneously.

Don't know why they changed it just when I had the other way finally figured out...

So, what do we call someone who loses >1M in a day in TSLA?

"RAF"....feel free to translate as you wish.

 

[EVortex]

So, what do we call someone who loses >1M in a day in TSLA?

Many of us, but only on paper until we push the sell button. HODL

 

[woodisgood]

I’ve learned a good lesson. Don’t hold your call options with the conviction of a buy & HODLer.

 

[M|S|M MYP]

Seems obvious, but to keep the count accurate:

Teslanaire--;

For now.

Bet yours lasted longer than mine....became one in After hours trading the prior day....lost it in pre market trading the day after

We closed the day flush against the 50 day moving average. There will be a lot of buying pressure at that point absent some other negative catalyst. In the last 12-months, we've only ever traded below that threshold twice. Once in the peak of the Fremont shutdown and pandemic (between 03/09 and 04/13) and again around September 24/25 for only two days. I would need to dig up what news may have driven that back then, but it was quite temporary.

Well, remember, the stock had a sudden drop just before the split announcement, after it had been fairly steady around the $1500 level. I consider the $1500 level a fair price for that time, with the news that was out there. Since we haven't had any news since, I consider $300 post-split level a fair price for the stock right now--all things considered.

 

[Todd Burch]

Jeez. Artful and others called $330 this morning, didn't they?

The market is so damn rigged.

 

[anthonyj]

The increased volatility post-split is something I was not expecting.

It moved $100 a day pre-split, and now moves $100 a day post-split. It's the same, I swear

Teslanaire survivor / Second gen Teslanaire / Teslanaire*2 - pending (that's assuming he did HODL)

 

[Green Pete]

Down 440 presplit. Crazy Crazy number.

I was on record! Did not want this split!

Any chance this gets better tomorrow?

Wait, wait skyrocketing now!

No...not really.

Hey, can't wait until battery day!

Good thing I only trade in one account....

I actually did dump my aapl post split in my IRA....because that is what you do with these stupid splits. Gonna buy back at some point. But with TSLA had this stupid S&P thing muck up the works. Oof. Stock still moving 80 points a day except now I have five times the shares...

Do we have a PR at 5:15pm perchance?

Thanks for listening.

Please stop making "presplit" references. It doesn't convey information. market cap and % changes do

I hope so. That's exactly what my buy order is set for. Not needed but just wanted level the Roth account off. It's also my cost avg of all the shares I bought over the years. Well, it used to be.

OK. We lost 21% today and are down about 34% from ATH close...in five trading days.

Umm, that certainly conveys information...but I can't say it works for me any better.

I was referring to Limit Up-Limit Down circuit breakers - typically results in trading halts on a given stock.

@Artful Dodger I'm seeing some masterful timing on driving selling pressure. It seems like no trading halts (again not referring to uptick rule, but instead to limit up-limit down rules) were tripped today on TSLA, even with all the swings we saw today (as much as 10% intraday).

The black magic: the drops were JUST spread out enough to not hit the "must happen within 5 minutes" triggers.
