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

Clarkson and an X

At the very end, Jeremy "Fartson" trapped the gaggle of lawyers in the back seats (or so he said) by using Summon to pull the Model X between two closely parked cars. But the falcon wing doors would have easily opened and allowed a graceful exit. Yet he failed to show that amazing capability. Bastard!

Everytime this comes up on reddit or other forums there are always posts about how it's not that hard to become an accredited investor anymore. Supposedly you don't even need all that money anymore. Mostly taking some online test. Might be worth checking out.

That in itself will not let you buy any SpaceX though.

Should be easy for many here. 200k income or 1million in assets. Really just need a CPA to sign a letter stating that. Took me 15 minutes this past spring.

TSLA - #1 Stock Among Millennials

CNBC - hour ago:

One of my first pieces of data that validated my investment thesis back in 2016 or so. I read that by generation the most purchased stocks were GE for the greatest generation, Apple for boomers, and Tesla for millennials. I’m either the oldest millennial or youngest gen X so that made perfect sense to me.

Dangnabbit, @woodisgood. That's enough entries to answer your riddle (and you should amass and put them all in one post; there are some good ones). What's the answer?

 

[StealthP3D]

I think whoever reaches that level gets to call it whatever the hell they want.

I'll call it gigglionaire".

Me and the Mrs. have another "giggle date" tonight.

Depending upon the entity requiring "accredited investor" status, they may only require you to sign a statement confirming you meet the criteria. And I've never heard of there being a test.

Did we ever settle on a term for tesla investors at the billionaire level? Is it Giganair?

For me it was the opposite - I double and triple checked my sanity after watching ARK pushing Bitcoin and Tesla at the same time.
P.S. Sorry, wrong quote.

Cashed out some TSLA profit so buy my Bolt today!

(said no one ever)

Even fewer have said “I cashed out GM profit to buy a bolt”. Lol

New York Post; "Elon Musk passes Bill Gates on rich list, but still lags in philanthropy"
I won't add the link, but will say this; what greater charity can he contribute to than to "Accelerate the World's Transition to Sustainable Energy", and save lives from the deadly effects of pollution from the burning of fossil fuels? Not just human lives, but every life form on the planet is affected by human misdeeds. I would call this philanthropy in the highest order.

Jeez people.

TSLA - #1 Stock Among Millennial & Gen Z Investors

CNBC - hour ago:

Did you guys catch this? Buy Aurora Cannabis! I don't know anything about them but apparently it's a screaming buy because goofball Tim "Saynomore" (of CNBC short-Tesla fame) laughed that people were paying such high prices, saying the balance sheet doesn't make sense and the "opportunity set" doesn't make sense. In other words, it's a SCREAMING BUY!

[StealthP3D]

There's a lot of front-running going on right now. S&P Committee could possibly announce THREE (3) equally weighted tranches effective Dec 7, 14, and 21.

If it was my decision and my primary goal was to create the biggest runup imaginable, that's EXACTLY what I would do! So while that would be fun, I suspect it's even a lower probability than the slim chance they extend a second tranche into next year.

Well it ain't easy, and it appears some of what I thought above is incorrect upon further investigation. Here's an article that clarifies it somewhat... a bit wordy but informative towards the end:

Would you or someone else explain what would happen to the equal waiting of the companies in the index? This is all determined by market cap & Obviously a rise in share price would mean increased $$ buying in, but is there a magic number where Tesla would flip over from (example) 1.2 to 1.3 percent? Or is it all broken down extreme fractional digits (example) 1.27473628274

I wonder if Elon has considered:

Getting a loan off his shares to buy more shares.
As he buys more shares, his previous shares gain value.
Leverage more loans off appreciated equity.
Buy more shares.

Tesla can also release a new cryptocurrency that requires the escrow and lockup of TSLA shares to determine allocation. More shares you have, the more crypto you get.

Coins happen to get issued on December 22nd.

*that's enough spiked eggnog for today!*

 

[StealthP3D]

Everytime I hear someone say "my Tesla stock trade bought me a free Tesla" is music to my ears.

Are you still concerned with Tesla having a demand problem?

What if, Cathy is just staring at this forum and holding because of us and we, at the same time is holding because she is holding.
