This post just fired up a bunch of thought experiments.

Here is one.

“They” had better start the final push-down fairly quickly. Time is running out.

I think people would be shocked how much money has been made off of the knowledge and posts here over the past 5-8 years.

This forum changed my whole life. It likely will result in me retiring in my 40s. It's incredible.

Okay everyone's too busy counting their millions, I'll say it....

WOW. Just Wow.


Edit: So have MM's run out of steam to defend paying out such large volumes?? Second week that they've taken a big hit! They defended 910 as best they could I guess.

US auto stocks were down today, especially so for EV-only makers.

Exception:

Tesla (TSLA +1.75%) closes only 32 cents beneath the high of the day, and again achieves an all-time closing high; this time with an all-time intraday high to boot.

Reaching new highs in after hours. Maybe it’s a blip or maybe the dam is beginning to break.

Enjoy your weekend folks! I’ll see you Monday morning for the watch party

 

[GrandEnigma]

Gotta say, i wasn't expecting a close over $900 today. Thought I was going to have to wait until next week. I will take it for sure.

Virtually all auto stocks were down today, especially so for EV-only makers.

Exception:

Tesla (TSLA +1.75%) closes only 32 cents beneath the high of the day, and again achieves an all-time closing high; this time with an all-time intraday high to boot.

Fantastisch!

What a Sweet End of The Week!

Did I miss something on LFP?

I see it as a Tesla purchased item in a non-4680 format.

Is this view incorrect?

None of the LFP tesla uses is cylindrical cells they are all large format prismatic, it's OK.

Today has been the most interesting day thus far this year, in pecuniary terms. Who knows what will happen next. It is odd to think of this, regardless. The real question now is whether our euphoria is justified.

In my personal view this day is different from most preceding days. We now have proof of the sustainable volume of innovation at TSLA in manufacturing technology as well as all the other advantages we know.
Thus, my continuing position is that TSLA meets Ben Graham's principles when we account for manufacturing prowess.

Of course the price will fluctuate. On this ATH intraday and close I reiterate my basic continuing buy and hold, eschewing any fancy footwork.

Anyone, even idiots and jerks, can own Tesla stock, and that's great! The more the merrier!

But when one of those idiots tries to position himself as an authority, and build a following and a brand out of that position, that's when i call them out, as i'm doing here. I'm not going to look the other way just because they own the same stock i own. Dude's a clown, and listening to him actively makes people dumber. I will always urge people to seek out valuable / intelligent / reliable sources of information, and to avoid snake oil salesmen.

Part of being successful means you will inevitably attract people who want to glom on to that success and spin that for their own benefit. They harm the mission long-term, in my opinion.

I get why he's pushing your buttons and it's a fair point.

Indeed, even the most bullish of us had not dared hope in 2019 that we would be here at $4500 presplit by 2021. Sometimes, mindbogglingly wonderful things happen to the well-prepared Tesla investor. At the darkest days of March 2020 I did not expect TSLA to go to the moon before the end of the year, but I thought it wise to prepare for a best-case scenario by at least buying two 3x out of the money March 2021 calls for a bit of my winnings of the early 2020 runup. Amazingly those two ended up going well over 100x each, worth a good number of annual incomes, life-changing really. Wild success is possible only if you've positioned yourself to take advantage of it.

I disagree. @jhm came up with the blind faith price targets circa 2015 when Elon’s stock comp plan was put into effect. We used to dream of lofty price valuations based on his milestones and jhm’s calculations back then.

Blind Faith Price Targets

Many people have asked to have a thread devoted to Blind Faith Price Targets. So here's kicking it off. Prior discussion of the methodology and BFPT updates occur at the following location. Going forward I hope to keep all updates and discussion in this thread. The original idea roughly...

In 1841 these idiocies were already well documented. It would be good to figure out hw mankind has changed, if indeed it has,

Pretty much everyone here knows Sandy Monroe is brilliant.

When he talks about what he really cares about, like in this video, he is clear as a bell.
Worth listening to.

That photo is hilarious. Cheeky monkeys.

Something investors will digest over the weekend is a Barron's article(I only read the headlines) is that Ford's EV pickup is overshadowed by the Cybertruck.
This is a very important point IMHO

 

[traxila]

Awesome news, that's the last step towards investment grade, which I'd wager Tesla will be upgraded to next year judging by their fundamentals.

Outstanding.

Tesla will not have any debt left next year for this to matter financially.

Will make a difference with certain stock funds….
