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

[1965Falcon]

Today I have at last, after beyond a half century in existence, grokked a full and complete understanding of the term "giddy" for the first time.

So, with that behind me, Giddy-up!

I'm with you! Only thing that would make this day complete beyond closing above $900 would be if SN9 launched and stuck the landing.

Heavy Friday lunch for traders today...guess that explains the walk down?

That's not a walkdown, it's a shovedown. Intent is to induce fear and panic among the weak holders. We'll see if there are more benchmark funds paying attention.

Following NDX down.

Sold <1% of my shares yesterday at $800-816, but still feels kinda bad today knowing I could be holding more during this massive price jump.

What would those of us with LEAPs do or think in this scenario I ponder?

 

[Todd Burch]

Following NDX down.

Ah yes, just refreshed my Nasdaq ticker. Agree, looks to be a result of macros.

 

[Todd Burch]

Based on the response, I think the big funds are still buying...went from $850 to $859 really quick there.

Crude oil has been on a pretty stiff climb since November, which is probably helping TSLA:

Joe Manchin said he wouldn't support 2K stimulus checks..dragging the market down a bit

The market averages have pulled back over the last hour after relatively conservative West Virginia US Democratic Senator Joe Manchin said he will not support boosting stimulus payments up to $2000. That also was a drag on TSLA. A rebound may have begun as investors begin to realize that some Republican senators have indicated they favor the plan.

There's >50 votes even w/o him. No pressure from McConnell, so there's a tad of bipartisan support. He tends to be a dissenting vote more often when the are no consequences. But it's certainly possible some retail traders are unaware. In any case, shouldn't be a major factor.

OT: Get used to hearing Manchin's name often the next 2 years. With a 50/50 Senate and a Dem president, he becomes a BMOC (big man on campus).

This guy could have a HUGE effect on proposals to accelerate the transition to renewable energy. TSLA will do well regardless.

Signal advance stock goes 10-fold in 2 days.. which has nothing to do with signal app at all...

I'd suggest reading about past generations where tremendous wealth building has occurred in certain groups of investments (and, subsequently, investors) and find out what happens to them and their families as a result (over a generation and multiple generations). I did. Money does seem to magnify personality and behavior...as well as things that can happen in the good and bad.

I'm interested in this type of reading, do you have any specific suggestions?

I’d love to short the oil companies. Always have despised Tesla short sellers, but this is good vs evil. Wouldn’t feel guilty about that.

Meh, more money to be made investing in the future vs shorting the past.

Just this morning I have started thinking about updating our 2015 85D. Plan has always been to drive it for a decade, but now like why? Get it into the used car inventory. Only thing holding me back is waiting for a refresh and lifetime free SuperCharging. Then go to the boss.

I still have my '15 85D. They only wanted to give $25K trade-in, but it's worth much more than that to me. Will be passed on to a kid, most likely.

It's good to know the Nikola graphics designers have found a place to land.

So, they made it lowercase and added a PowerPoint gradient fill to it? Impressive.

You dont pay a plumber to knock on the pipes, you pay him to know where to knock....GM decided to forgo the plumber in this analogy

Ok Emmet might be chuckling for a different reason now...

Thanks to all on here for their analysis...there certainly are some 'interesting' personalities on TMC forums/twitter (including myself). Learning how to filter out the noise of people's personalities vs. actual TSLA/Tesla analysis given by those people has been key for my grounding/foundation of Tesla/TSLA knowledge over the past 10 years.

One interesting observation I've learned is that sometimes the most 'eccentric personalities' on these online forums/twitter also have the capability of providing the best analysis/viewpoints on what's going on with regards to Tesla/TSLA.

Love you all regardless and grateful for TMC's existence.

Wow, and no one is correcting themselves. It's still going up?! Signal should do a cap raise right now. Guess it's a good short for anyone who dares.

Signal Stock Confusion? Did Elon Musk Tweet Have Investors Piling Into SIGL Stock?
